Study identifies molecular mechanisms behind cadmium accumulation in medicinal herb Coptis chinensis, offers strategies to control and mitigate accumulation, enhance resistance, and promote synthesis of secondary metabolites.
Researchers investigated the effects of a compound named HS-1, found in a Chinese herbal medicine, on ulcerative colitis (UC). Results suggest that HS-1 has potential therapeutic benefits for UC by reducing inflammation. Further studies are needed for confirmation.
Scientists developed a method called ODCE with UHPLC-MS/MS to measure compounds in traditional Chinese medicines. This strategy allows for wider range quantification and is useful for monitoring the effectiveness and safety of TCMs.
PpLBD16, a transcription factor in peach plants, promotes root formation by activating genes related to cell wall synthesis, ion transport, and peach root organogenesis. Understanding its regulatory network can enhance LR development.
Researchers investigated the potential of taxus chinensis fruit (TCF) in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). They identified the constituents and targets associated with AD. Relevant for potential AD treatment.
A new alkaloid compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties was discovered, along with six known alkaloids, holding promise for potential therapeutic applications in inflammation and cancer treatment.
Two new alkaloids, Oleracrylimide D and Oleracrylimide E, were discovered in L. Their structures were identified using spectroscopic methods, and their anti-inflammatory properties were investigated using ELISA.
