Sidr honey from Saudi Arabia was tested on colorectal, breast, and lung cancer cells. It showed potential as an antitumor agent by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Further research is needed to identify and understand the active compounds.
This study found that ethyl acetate extract from fruits has anti-inflammatory effects and can alleviate symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It also suggests TBEA could be developed into a new drug for treating UC.
A Chinese herbal feed additive (TCM) improved egg production, quality, antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal health in Roman laying hens compared to control and antibiotic groups.
This study found that supplementing Ampelopsis grossedentata flavonoids (AGF) in goat's diets improved rumen bacterial microbiome, plasma physiology, and growth performance. This has potential benefits for livestock growth and economic outcomes.
This study found that fruit extract reduced inflammation and altered gut microbiota, promoting beneficial bacteria and short-chain fatty acid production. It has potential as a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
Picropodophyllin (PPP), extracted from Dysosma versipellis, inhibits gastric cancer (GC) cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis. PPP blocks the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by targeting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), making it a potential therapeutic compound for GC treatment.
Plumbagin, extracted from Plumbago zeylanica L., inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in LoVo colon cancer cells. Mechanisms include cell cycle arrest and disruption of protein synthesis. Potential therapeutic for colon cancer.
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharide (THP) reduces inflammation, promotes intestinal barrier integrity, regulates gut microbiota, and activates SCFAs-GPR41/43 signaling pathway in inflammatory bowel disease.
