Polyherbal and Multimodal Treatments: Kaempferol- and Quercetin-Rich Herbs Alleviate Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

A review identified potential herbal treatments for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Common herbs rich in kaempferol and quercetin show promise in reducing plaque formation, suppressing oxidative stress, and modulating signaling pathways. A polyherbal cocktail of these compounds could be a potential alternative treatment for AD.

Hydroxytyrosol Counteracts Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cell Dissemination via Its Copper Complexing Properties.

Polyphenols can bind to copper, a metal involved in cancer progression. Hydroxytyrosol, a metabolite of oleuropein, reduces copper levels and inhibits the metastatic potential of triple-negative breast cancer cells by modulating key signaling pathways. This highlights the therapeutic potential of polyphenols in cancer treatment.

Prenylated chromones and flavonoids isolated from the roots of Flemingia macrophylla and their anti-lung cancer activity.

Researchers investigated prenylated flavonoids in Flemingia macrophylla, which regulate the p53 protein. The study aims to identify these compounds, evaluate their activity, establish their structure-activity relationship, and understand their mechanisms. This research can provide potential candidates for the development of antitumor drugs.
