Researchers discovered two new alkaloids, along with six known analogues, in Gelsemium elegans. These compounds showed anti-inflammatory activity and inhibited osteoclast formation, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for G. elegans.
Researchers discovered four new steroidal compounds and isolated twenty known compounds from Solanum lyratum Thunb plants. Some of these compounds showed significant cytotoxic effects against human colon and hepatoma cells, offering potential for cancer treatment. This study also provides chemical markers to help differentiate Solanum plants.
Scientists developed an olive oil-based formulation for ocular administration to counteract oxidative damage in hypertensive eye diseases. The formulation, tested in mice, reduced morphological alterations and demonstrated antioxidant effects, making it a promising therapy for ocular pathologies associated with hypertension.
Scientists investigated the effectiveness of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F extract for treating rheumatoid arthritis. This herbal treatment has been used since the 1960s and could offer potential relief for RA symptoms.
This research identified the chemical composition of two wild olive subspecies' oils. The oils showed efficient antibacterial activity, but one subspecies had a higher range of inhibition.
Scientists analyzed 22 Jerusalem artichoke clones from Turkey, studying effects of clones and organs on biochemical parameters. They also investigated correlations between parameters and factors influencing dry matter in tubers, useful for lab decision-making.
Scientists discovered and identified four flavonoids from maxim leaves. One of them showed moderate cytotoxicity against Lewis Lung cancer cells, while the others had weak cytotoxic effects.
