Stachydrine, a potential drug for the treatment of cardiovascular system and central nervous system diseases.

Researchers have conducted a review on the traditional Chinese herb, Leonurus japonicus Houtt, and its primary component, stachydrine, which has been shown to have biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-coagulant, anti-apoptotic, vasodilator, and angiogenic promoter. The herb is commonly used in China for gynecological and blood-related disorders, and has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study aims to provide a scientific basis for the development of new CVD drug formulations.

Bioactive Compositions of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl) Extracts and Their Capacities in Suppressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Binding to ACE2, Inhibiting ACE2, and Scavenging Free Radicals.

Cinnamon extracts contain bioactive compounds that can inhibit the activity of the virus and increase antioxidant activity, potentially reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection. Ethanol extract showed higher phenolic content and greater free radical scavenging activity compared to water extract, indicating cinnamon's preventive properties against SARS-CoV-2.
