Unripe fruit contains polyphenols, including ellagic acid (EA), which improves type 2 inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. EA is converted to urolithin A (UA) by gut bacteria, which has anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, EA, unripe fruit water extract (uRO-w), and UA reduced inflammation and oxidative stress in lung and neutrophil cells, suggesting they could be used as treatments for respiratory diseases.
Immature rosemary extract (iROE) showed better analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects compared to mature rosemary extract (mROE) in a rat model, potentially through α-adrenergic and opioid receptors.
