This study analyzed phenolic compounds in walnut leaves from northern Iraq. The compounds showed antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making them potential candidates for antioxidant drugs to treat oxidative stress-related diseases.
Researchers found that after 5 years of storage, aged Guang Chenpi, a Chinese herbal medicine, had increased flavonoid content and improved anti-spleen deficiency effects in mice. The study revealed that aged Guang Chenpi also regulated gut microbiota through specific flavonoids, highlighting the potential benefits of long storage time for herbal medicines.
In silico study found that three compounds in pomegranate peel (punicalin, punicalagin, and ellagic acid) interacted significantly with nine protein targets involved in diabetes management. These compounds show potential as antidiabetic agents, but further validation is needed.
A study synthesized plant extract-mediated metal oxide nanoparticles and evaluated their anticancer, antioxidant, and molecular binding efficacy. The biosynthesized nanoparticles showed potential as antioxidant and anticancer drug candidates, particularly for breast cancer. Cytotoxicity tests are recommended for further use.
Chinese medicine raw (RP) shows potential therapeutic benefits in treating esophageal cancer. This study used web-based pharmacological methods and cellular experiments to explore its effectiveness as a complementary approach to surgery and radiotherapy.
Researchers discovered enzymes in a medicinal plant that produce bioactive compounds. They found that these enzymes are versatile and generated new compounds, including a potential antifungal agent.
In this study, researchers investigated the effects of spinach supplementation and a hypocaloric diet on women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). They found that this intervention improved gut health, neurotrophic factor levels, and oxidative stress in PCOS patients.
Researchers conducted theoretical research on Edgeworthia chrysantha, investigating its striking color transition during flowering. The study aims to uncover the regulatory mechanisms behind this process, providing valuable insights for cultivation and applications of this valuable plant.
