Aegle marvels (L.) Correa Leaf Essential Oil and Its Phytoconstituents as an Anticancer and Anti-Streptococcus mutans Agent.

Indian Bael leaves have been traditionally used for treating oral infections due to their anti-cancerous and antibacterial properties. A study explored the essential oil of these leaves and found that it contains the compound limonene, which showed significant anticancer activity against human oral epidermal carcinoma cells. The oil also exhibited antioxidant properties, inhibiting free radicals. Additionally, it showed anti-cariogenic effects, inhibiting the growth of bacteria associated with oral health issues. These findings suggest that Indian Bael leaves could be a valuable natural therapeutic agent for managing oral cancer and infections.

Molecular networking-assisted systematical profiling and the in vivo neuroprotective effect of ellagitannins from the Melastoma dodecandrum Lour.

Researchers investigated the chemistry and neuroprotective effects of ellagitannins (ETs) in Melastoma dodecandrum (MD), a traditional Chinese medicine. ETs are natural tannins that have promising anti-Alzheimer's disease effects. This study focused on the potential of urolithins, an intestinal metabolite of ETs. Results indicated that MD contains high levels of ETs, suggesting it may have neuroprotective benefits. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential treatment for AD.
