This review focuses on the diverse alkaloids found in L. (Papaveraceae) and their extraction methods, particularly for morphine and codeine. It also explores the link between opium consumption and cancer.
Hippophae rhamnoides L. has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat heart ailments, rheumatism, and brain disorders. Recent studies suggest that its polysaccharide (HRP) may improve cognitive impairment in mice with Alzheimer's disease, but the protective mechanism remains unclear.
Engeletin, derived from Smilax glabra rhizomilax, has neuroprotective effects in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, reducing deficits, infarct size, inflammation, and apoptosis. It suppresses the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory network.
This study used rat models to investigate the effects of swimming training and herbal extracts on motor impairment caused by midbrain tumors. Results suggest that swimming training and certain herbal extracts could be effective complementary treatments for improving motor impairment in this context.
