Effect of Smilax spp. and Phellinus linteus combination on cytotoxicity and cell proliferation of breast cancer cells.

In the pursuit of reducing the mortality rate of breast cancer, researchers investigated the effects of combining PL with extracts from Smilax corbularia and S. glabra (PSS) on various breast cancer cell lines. The study aimed to uncover a more effective therapeutic regimen for breast cancer treatment. By observing the effects of PSS on MCF7, T47D, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 cell lines, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of improved treatment options for this prevalent disease.

HR-LCMS and evaluation of anti-diabetic activity of Hemidesmus indicus (anantmool): Kinetic study, and molecular modelling approach.

This study identified Hemidesmus indicus as a potential source for antidiabetic medications. The herb showed high extractive yield and inhibited carbohydrate hydrolytic enzymes. Molecular modeling techniques confirmed its potential as an inhibitor of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, suggesting it could be developed as a lead for type-2 diabetes medications.

Cinnamomum cassia on Arterial Stiffness and Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Outcomes of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

This study examined the effects of for patients with type 2 diabetes. It found that administration reduced body weight, BMI, and HbAc, but had no significant impact on arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure, glucose, and lipids.
