Chemical Composition of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) Extract and Its Inhibitory Effects on SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein-ACE2 Interaction and ACE2 Activity and Free Radical Scavenging Capacities.

Rosemary water extract contains compounds that inhibit the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2, as well as reduce ACE2 activity. This suggests that rosemary may lower the risk of COVID-19 infection and development.

Adverse effect of Tamarindus indica and tamoxifen combination on redox balance and genotoxicity of breast cancer cell.

Researchers studied the effects of Tamarindus indica extract and tamoxifen (TAM) on breast cancer cells. The study confirmed that phenolic compounds have anticancer actions and using them in combination with TAM may enhance treatment outcomes. This information is significant for improving therapeutic efficacy in breast cancer treatment.

The effect of acute crocin on behavioral changes and BDNF expression level in socially isolated rats.

Researchers investigated the effects of social isolation on behavior in rats and the potential therapeutic effects of crocin. Social isolation caused anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive-like behavior, and hyperlocomotion. Crocin reversed these effects and increased BDNF expression, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.

In vitro Adipocyte Differentiation Inhibition and in vivo Effects on Lipid Metabolism in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity of Euphorbia humifusa.

The study found that extract from Willd has inhibitory effects on adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. It reduced triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in obese mice and inhibited lipogenesis in the liver. EHE could be a potential treatment for obesity and lipid metabolism issues.

Bioavailability of bioactive compounds in Hibiscus sabdariffa beverage as a potential anti-inflammatory.

In a clinical study, the absorption and metabolism of compounds in a Hibiscus sabdariffa drink were evaluated. Various organic acids and phenolic compounds were detected in the drink. Metabolites derived from these compounds may have anti-inflammatory effects, but further research is needed.
