Berberine-loaded solid dispersions (SD) show potential as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) for neurodegenerative disease treatment, with improved water solubility and cytotoxic effects on tumoral cells. The berberine SD also demonstrated no cytotoxicity/genotoxicity in testing, suggesting it could be a safe option.
This study found that pomegranate seed extract (PSEx) can help protect against nickel (Ni)-induced damage in plants. PSEx reduced DNA damage, improved physiological parameters, and restored cell structures affected by Ni exposure. This suggests that PSEx could be beneficial in mitigating the negative effects of Ni and promoting recovery.
The study found that β-cryptoxanthin, derived from Kocuria marina DAGII, is a potent antioxidant that can protect against damage caused by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). It can prevent lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage. It also has UV protection capabilities.
Spiraeoside, a flavonoid found in onions, exhibited antioxidant capabilities similar to BHT but less potent than α-tocopherol, trolox, and BHA. It also showed inhibitory effects on enzymes related to Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and glaucoma, suggesting potential medicinal applications.
