Plants can store chemicals and radioisotopes from their environment, like Po and Pb, which can be hazardous to human health. Understanding this can help protect against toxicity.
Summary: β-escin from Aesculus hippocastanum has anti-inflammatory effects and affects NF-κB signaling. It shows promising broad-spectrum antiviral activity against coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, with potential as a therapeutic option for respiratory virus outbreaks.
Escin, found in , has anti-inflammatory properties. This study uses network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics to understand how escin can help with neuropathic pain.
Escin, found in Aesculus hippocastanum, stabilizes the blood-brain barrier to mitigate hemorrhagic transformation (HT) caused by recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Important for safer use of rt-PA in clinical applications.
Scientists developed a new biocide for post-milking udder hygiene to reduce antibiotic usage for mastitis treatment. It showed stability and effectiveness against mastitis pathogens. Important for minimizing antimicrobial resistance and environmental contamination.
Various triterpene saponins have shown potential benefits in the gastrointestinal tract, affecting alcohol and glucose levels, gastric emptying, transit, and mucosal lesions, with shared modes of action.
