Rosemary water extract contains compounds that inhibit the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2, as well as reduce ACE2 activity. This suggests that rosemary may lower the risk of COVID-19 infection and development.
In this study, the researchers analyzed the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of a petroleum ether fraction. They identified 82 chemical components and found that the fraction displayed good antioxidant activity. This information can be used for the development and utilization of the fraction.
This study evaluated the antifungal and antioxidant properties of essential oils derived from four plants. The EO with the highest antioxidant and antifungal activity was found to contain a high concentration of eugenol. Combining eugenol and carvacrol in a 1:3 ratio showed promising potential for grain protection during storage.
This study explores how rosemary essential oil helps treat atopic dermatitis, offering insights for potential therapeutic applications in managing the condition.
Exposing greenhouse plants to UV-A radiation changes their chlorophyll content and antioxidant activity, making it potentially beneficial for pharmaceutical industry use.
Plant essential oils (EOs) were tested for their antifungal activity against gray mold and brown rot. Results showed that certain EOs inhibited the growth of the fungi, suggesting their potential use for controlling these diseases in fruit and vegetable storage.
Study finds 40.2% of participants in a Brazilian city use medicinal plants, primarily for anxiety. Females, non-whites, and lower-educated with higher income and comorbidities were more likely to use. No reported use for treating COVID-19.
Various bioactive metabolites found in herbs such as Rosmarinus officinalis and Punica granatum have shown impressive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. These natural ACE inhibitors could be a potential treatment for hypertension, respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic kidney diseases, but more clinical trials are needed.
This study tested the effectiveness of encapsulating Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil to control insect pests in stored products. Encapsulation showed high efficiency and effectively killed pests during storage.
Researchers seek alternative therapies for COVID-19, exploring the potential of targeting the main protease (M) to control viral replication and prevent infections, amid concerns over vaccine effectiveness.
Peppermint and rosemary oils were shown to have nootropic and anti-amnesic effects in rats with scopolamine-induced amnesia-like Alzheimer's disease (AD). The oils were orally administered to rats, and in the nootropic phase, both oils showed a decrease in latency times and memory errors. In the therapeutic phase, the oils enhanced memory processing. The hippocampus exhibited elevated BDNF levels, and immunohistochemistry findings showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the oils revealed compounds with potential efficacy in memory and cognition. The combination of the two oils produced more anti-amnesic activity and had possible therapeutic activity for memory enhancement in AD patients.
Rosemary essential oil was tested for its pain-relieving properties in mice. The study found that the antinociceptive effect of the oil may be mediated through the NO/cGMP/K ATP pathway.
A study tested the effects of extracts from Rosemary and Saffron, given individually and combined, on Alzheimer's neuroinflammation in rats. The rats were given extracts over 15 days and then tested for cognitive impairment, amyloid neuroproteins, oxidative stress, and other markers. The extracts showed significant improvement in all parameters compared to the control group and a better morphological appearance in the cortex and hippocampus. Computational analysis found the extracts may impede the activity of proteins regulating disease progression, suggesting these extracts could help treat Alzeheimer's.
Researchers evaluated the potential neuroprotective effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) in a murine model of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). RA was found to prevent hyperlocomotion behavior in MPTP-treated animals and improve the monoaminergic system in healthy animals. RA also increased dopaminergic signaling in the parkinsonian mice, indicating potential neuroprotective properties for RA in preventing behavioral features observed in PD and improving neurotransmission in the healthy brain.
Rosemary is an evergreen shrub used in folk medicine to treat various conditions. Studies highlight that it has significant neuropharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and neuroprotective effects.
