Sulfation on polysaccharides from Zizania latifolia extracted using ultrasound: Characterization, antioxidant and anti-non-small cell lung cancer activities.

Scientists optimized ultrasonic-assisted extraction of Zizania latifolia (Ginseng in Water) polysaccharides, followed by sulfation. Sulfation improved antioxidant activity and significantly enhanced anti-non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) potency. SZLP-2 showed promise as a novel antioxidant and anti-NSCLC drug.

Neuroprotective effects of Embelin in an ethidium bromide-induced multiple sclerosis in rats: Modulation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Researchers studied the effects of embelin on the p38 MAPK pathway in a mouse model of MS. Embelin showed potential as a therapeutic agent for MS due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
