Common Names: Asian pigeonwings
Clitoria ternatea extract shows potential for treating diabetes-induced cognitive impairment. Cobalt oxide nanoparticles may improve brain drug delivery, but high doses are neurotoxic. Low doses show neuroprotective effects, warranting further study.
Butterfly pea flower extract (CTE) shows potential for treating diabetes and protecting the liver in rat models. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic properties. CTE improved liver function and reduced oxidative stress markers in rats with diabetes and dyslipidemia.
This study explores the antifungal and antibiofilm effects of flower extracts on a severe eye infection. It analyzes the structural details and identifies key compounds. This research could be important for developing new treatments for fungal keratitis.
Extracts from have potent antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, and high toxicity against brine shrimp. Compounds from the extracts exhibit potential as anti-medication, targeting antibiotic resistance proteins. These extracts could be valuable in combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
The researchers studied the effects of a magnesium hydroxide nanocomposite on Alzheimer's disease (AD). They found that the treatment improved memory, reduced cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, and activated the GPR55 protein. It also showed potential for targeting AD.
The study found that Clitoria ternatea seeds have high nutrient content and contain bioactives such as rutin and sinapic acid. The seeds could be useful in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Clitoria ternatea root extract, particularly clitorienolactones A (CLA), improved cognitive deficits in rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. It reduced amyloid-beta plaque, restored synaptic signaling proteins, and showed potential in treating cognitive decline.
Researchers used a computer-based approach to identify natural compounds that may inhibit a viral protein, offering a potential avenue for developing new antiviral drugs. (33 characters)
Fermented kombucha drink contains compounds with potential as antiobesity agents. Major compounds like Kaempferol and Quercetin ranked high in inhibiting lipase enzymes and fat mass-associated proteins. Further studies needed for validation.
Researchers conducted a computational investigation of the nonlinear optical responses of active phytochemicals in the Clitoria ternatea plant using density functional theory. Their results identified Clitorin as the most active phytochemical inhibitor of Alzheimer's disease. Molecular dynamics simulations showed the stability of the complex, suggesting its potential as a drug-like molecule against AD. Additionally, the phytochemical showed no harmful effects on the heart. These findings indicate the potential of Clitorin as a therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease.
This review focuses on Alzheimer's disease (AD), which causes progressive memory loss, language deficits, depression, and other cognitive impairments. Although commonly used drugs to treat AD often have unsatisfactory results due to its complex causes, there is potential for herbal medicines. This article reviews the experimental evidence for various Indian herbal medicines, including and , which have shown potential in treating cognitive impairment. The popularity of herbal medicines is increasing due to their perceived effectiveness, safety, and affordability. Commonly available herbal formulations for memory impairment in India are also discussed.
