Marein from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt can sensitize drug resistant cancer cells by inhibiting ABCG2 transporter, increasing drug accumulation, and binding to critical site F439. Potential implications for treating ABCG2-expressing tumors with chemotherapeutic drugs.
This study shows that Chinese trumpet creeper (CT) can improve energy metabolism and lower blood glucose levels in obese mice by targeting the liver. Kaempferol, a compound in CT, plays a significant role in this process.
Researchers studied the role of myocardial fibrosis in heart failure. Understanding this connection is important for making informed decisions in the lab regarding the disease.
Researchers investigated the effects of okanin, the main active ingredient in Nutt. flower, on cognitive impairment following stroke. They found that okanin was able to improve cognitive impairment, inhibit microglial activation, decrease inflammasome activation, and increase miR-7 expression. Okanin was also able to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation in stimulated microglia and prevent microglia-induced neuronal injury. These results suggest that okanin could be a potential functional food for stroke recovery.
