Immunomodulatory effects of cyclotides isolated from Viola odorata in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis animal model of multiple sclerosis.

Researchers investigated the effect of cyclotide-rich fractions from Viola odorata, a type of plant protein, on an animal model of MS. MS is a chronic inflammation disease that damages the central nervous system. The study aimed to identify whether cyclotides had immunomodulatory properties that could help treat MS.

Anti-Alzheimer's disease active components screened out and identified from Hedyotis diffusa combining bioaffinity ultrafiltration LC-MS with acetylcholinesterase.

Researchers investigated the effects of different chemical extract fractions of Hedyotis diffusa on amyloid-beta aggregation, a key process in AD development. They found that the fractions significantly inhibited amyloid-beta aggregation and showed potential as promising sources for AD treatment. The study highlights the importance of exploring traditional remedies in finding new treatments for complex diseases like AD.
