Neuroprotective neolignan glycosides from the pseudobulbs of Bletilla striata.

Researchers discovered four new neolignan glycosides in Bletilla striata, which showed promising neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced PC12 cell injury. These compounds are the first of their kind found in the genus Bletilla, indicating the potential of Bletilla striata as a source of anti-neurodegenerative agents.

Study of chemical constituents, antioxidants and antimicrobial activities of Tamarindus indica L. seed.

This study investigated the chemical constituents of Tamarindus indica L. and their potential as food preservatives. The extract exhibited strong antioxidant and antibacterial activity against several strains of bacteria and yeasts. These findings suggest that tamarind seeds could be used as natural alternatives to synthetic additives in food preservation.
