The role of oxidative stress in chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity in a rat model, and the protective effects of Nigella Sativa oil on oxidative stress, the anti-Müllerian hormone level, and apoptosis.

Study investigated the impact of oxidative stress on carboplatin-induced damage to the ovaries. Found that Nigella Sativa oil has a protective effect by reducing apoptosis and restoring anti-Müllerian hormone levels. Important for understanding potential strategies to mitigate chemotherapy-induced reproductive toxicity.

Inhibition of Cysteine Proteases via Thiol-Michael Addition Explains the Anti-SARS-CoV-2 and Bioactive Properties of Arteannuin B.

In this study, scientists isolated a derivative of arteannuin B from a plant extract. This derivative inhibited the activity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and a cancer enzyme. Understanding these activities can help develop treatments for malaria, COVID-19, and cancer.
