ECHOPvir: A Mixture of Echinacea and Hop Extracts Endowed with Cytoprotective, Immunomodulatory and Antiviral Properties.

Scientists developed a mixture of plant extracts that showed potential in preventing and treating viral respiratory diseases. The mixture exhibited antioxidant, cytoprotective, immunomodulating, and antiviral properties. Activation of Nrf2 may contribute to its cytoprotective effects. Further studies are needed to explore its nutraceutical applications.

Neuroprotective Properties of Berberine: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.

Berberine (BBR), a natural compound found in certain plants, has various beneficial effects on the brain. It protects against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death, and regulates enzyme activity, neurotransmitter levels, and gut bacteria. By targeting multiple signaling pathways, BBR shows promise for neuroprotection.
