Common Names: Siberian ginseng
Researchers used UPLC-MS/MS to quantify anthocyanins and flavonoids in purple and green leaves of Ulmus pumila. Purple leaves had higher anthocyanin and flavonoid levels, with cyanidin-3galactoside and delphinidin as main compounds. Findings are important for potential health benefits of these plants.
Researchers investigated drought stress effects on plant growth and secondary metabolite synthesis, focusing on DNA methylation changes in Eleutherococcus senticosus. Results highlighted DNA demethylation's role in gene expression and saponin synthesis for plant adaptation to drought stress.
Adaptogens are plants that help the body adapt to stress and promote resilience. They have anti-inflammatory effects and may improve conditions in central nervous system disorders. Research aims to understand their benefits on neuroinflammation.
Acanthopanax, or Siberian ginseng, may help reduce the cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, potentially enhancing its anticancer effects. This could lead to safer and more effective cancer treatments.
This study evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of adverse events associated with adaptogen-antidepressant interactions. Adaptogens were involved in 9% of adverse events. Clinicians should monitor these interactions due to the potential for clinically significant adverse events.
Kan Jang reduced severe cases and virus detection in mild COVID-19 patients. Improved symptoms and reduced inflammatory markers. Effective treatment for mild/moderate cases.
Plant-based nootropics are natural drugs that can improve cognitive abilities through various mechanisms. They enhance erythrocyte plasticity, inhibit aggregation, and possess antioxidant activity that protects brain tissue from neurotoxicity. They induce the synthesis of neuronal proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids for constructing and repairing neurohormonal membranes. The study provides brief descriptions of representative species, their chemical composition, uses, dosages, and contraindications. These plant nootropics have potential therapeutic benefits for treating cognitive disorders, but must be taken at optimal doses for extended periods, and their psychoactive properties are produced by a synergistic combination of several compounds.
