Researchers extracted polysaccharide-rich materials from olive leaves, finding antioxidant, alpha-amylase inhibition, and antiproliferative activities. The extract showed potential for functional food development due to synergistic effects of its compounds.
Silexan, an essential oil, is effective in treating anxiety disorders, especially in early stages. Baseline severity influences treatment outcome, with more severe symptoms showing greater improvement. Helpful for mild to moderate cases.
Coculture extracts of SY630 with SY341 or SY1001 improved antifungal activity. New compounds discovered, some show comparable activity to fluconazole/nystatin. Isolated sphingolipids downregulate ergosterol biosynthesis, a promising mechanism against antibiotic-resistant fungi.
Scientists modified molecules to create potential cancer treatment with low toxicity. Tested on liver, breast, and prostate cancer cells, showing promise for treatment with good cell compatibility.
Researchers investigated the potential anti-epileptic properties of glycosides from Qingyangshen (QYS), a traditional medicine. Understanding the mechanisms of action could lead to new treatments for neurological disorders.
Morindone, a compound from Morinda citrifolia, shows promise as a potential anticancer agent for colorectal cancer with mutated TP53 and KRAS genes, exhibiting anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects through multiple mechanisms.
