Isolation and identification of antimicrobial multicyclic terpenoids from the medicinal plant Salvia officinalis and development of a formulation against clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Scientists extracted three key compounds from the herb Salvia officinalis which effectively combat Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of bovine mastitis. These compounds inhibit biofilm formation and disrupt existing biofilms, showing promise for alternative therapies in dairy farming.

Baicalin ameliorates angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway activation: A target-based network pharmacology approach.

Baicalin from Scutellaria baicalensis helps lower blood pressure and protects the heart. Targets related to cardiac hypertrophy and signaling pathways were identified, showing improved cardiac function in mice and cells by reducing cardiac hypertrophy markers and MAPK pathway activation. It can be beneficial for hypertension-related heart issues.
