Polyphenol rich sugarcane extract (PRSE) has potential antiviral activity against influenza A virus in vitro.

Researchers found that treatment of influenza A virus (IAV)-infected cells with polyphenol rich sugarcane extract (PRSE) inhibited virus infection without causing harm. PRSE limited viral replication, protein expression, and mRNA transcription, and was effective against multiple IAV strains. PRSE could be a potential alternative treatment for IAV.

Computational analysis of potential drug-like compounds from Solanum torvum - A promising phytotherapeutics approach for the treatment of diabetes.

Scientists studied a medicinal plant called STV to find natural compounds that can treat diabetes. They found that chlorogenin and rutin, derived from STV, have strong binding affinities to key enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. These compounds may be potential natural therapeutic agents for diabetes management.
