Coriander contains bioactive compounds and polyphenols that have various health benefits. This study reviews the evidence of coriander extract as a protective agent against inflammation-related diseases like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.
In this study, researchers investigated the potential of using Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) to improve the solubility and delivery of thymoquinone (TQ), a compound derived from black seed with therapeutic and anticancer properties. Through various analyses, they found that the inclusion complexes of TQ with SBE-β-CD significantly enhanced the solubility and bioavailability of TQ. Additionally, the complexes exhibited stronger anticancer effects on various cancer cell lines compared to TQ alone. These findings suggest that SBE-β-CD may serve as an effective drug delivery system for TQ, but more research is needed to explore its mechanisms and potential side effects.
This review article examines the potential of medicinal plants and vitamins in the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). Current research suggests that certain phytochemicals in medicinal plants and vitamins C, D, and E may possess anti-hypoglycemic activities and improve the health of diabetes patients. However, more research is needed in this area.
Bitter melon, a widely used plant-based treatment, has potent antitumor effects against various cancers. Surprisingly, there is no review on its role in breast and gynecological cancer prevention and therapy. Our comprehensive literature review addresses this gap and highlights the promising anticancer effects of bitter melon on breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer cells. This research provides valuable insights and suggests directions for future studies in this field.
