Comparative Evaluation of Medicinal Plant Extracts and Antimicrobial Magistrals.

Summary

This study compares antimicrobial activity of traditional medicine substances. Brilliant green and rivanol are most effective. Plant extracts from Cydonia oblonga and Cistus laurifolius have highest antimicrobial effects, while Fumaria cilicica and Cistus laurifolius are strongest against fungus. This can inform drug formulation decisions.

Utilization of Quince (Cydonia oblonga) Peel and Exploration of Its Metabolite Profiling and Cardioprotective Potential Against Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Rats.

Summary

Researchers investigated the potential of quince peel as a sustainable food source. They found that a hydroethanolic extract of quince peel exhibited high antioxidant activity and protected against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. This suggests that quince peel could have cardioprotective effects.

Therapeutic and palliative role of a Unani herbal decoction in COVID-19 and similar respiratory viral illnesses: Phytochemical & pharmacological perspective.

Summary

Outbreaks of respiratory viruses like SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 have been frequent over the last century, causing many deaths due to complications. Traditional medicines have been observed to offer palliative and therapeutic benefits, including for COVID-19. The Unani herbal decoction, comprising of three fruits/seeds, was originally prescribed for respiratory ailments in the early 1900s and was recently prescribed by the Indian government for mild COVID-19 patients in home isolation. Preliminary studies suggest that the decoction could reduce COVID-19 incidence and severity.
