Integration of network pharmacology, molecular docking, and simulations to evaluate phytochemicals from Drymaria cordata against cervical cancer.

Summary

This study explores the potential of a natural source for treating cervical cancer. They identified a compound called quercetin 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-rhamnopyranoside as a hit compound that targets proteins responsible for pathway modulations in cervical cancer. Further validation is needed.

Assessment of in vitro pharmacological effect of Neotropical Piperaceae in GABAergic bioassays in relation to plants traditionally used for folk illness by the Yanesha (Peru).

Summary

Previous research found that the Piperaceae family was important in traditional Q'echi׳ Maya medicine for treating epilepsy and anxiety disorders. To investigate further, researchers conducted a botanical survey in Peru and collected 47 Piperaceae species, including 21 used by the indigenous Yanesha community for medicinal purposes. The Piperaceae family has been shown to have activity in the GABA system, which is involved in anxiety and epilepsy. These findings suggest that the traditional use of Piperaceae plants in indigenous medicine may have scientific validity.
