GeoBotanical: Prunus cerasoides

1.

A comprehensive review on pharmacognosy, phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of 8 potent species of southeast Asia.

Summary

Study on genus Prunus in India found 19 important species with nutritional and economic value. Newly discovered species shows potential for pharmacological research due to high phenolic content and therapeutic significance. The genus exhibits antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic properties, making it important for further study.

Prunus cerasoides Extract and Its Component Compounds Upregulate Neuronal Neuroglobin Levels, Mediate Antioxidant Effects, and Ameliorate Functional Losses in the Mouse Model of Cerebral Ischemia.

Summary

This study looked at the neuroprotective potential of a plant compound, PC, in a mouse model of stroke. The researchers found that PC extract and certain components of the extract increased levels of a neuroprotective factor called neuroglobin and reduced damage in brain cells following stroke. In mice treated with PC extract, there was improved behavior and decreased cell death in the brain. This suggests that PC may have potential as a protective treatment for stroke.
