Study on the chronic inflammatory injury caused by Ageratina adenophora on goat liver using metabolomics.

Study investigated inflammation and liver metabolism changes caused by A. adenophora ingestion in goats. Results show altered metabolites and pathways related to inflammation, along with liver injury and histopathological changes. Important for understanding A. adenophora hepatotoxicity and further research on liver metabolite changes.

Brunonianines A-C, C(20)-diterpenoid alkaloids with cyano group from Delphinium brunonianum Royle.

Researchers isolated three rare C-diterpenoid alkaloids with a cyano functional group from a plant. One compound showed better inhibitory activity against cancer cells than a current drug. It also arrested cells in the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis by activating a specific signaling pathway.
