Researchers studied the therapeutic effects of baicalein (BAI), a compound in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, for cataract treatment. BAI has antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Care about this because it could potentially lead to a new treatment for cataracts.
Bismuth contamination in agricultural fields impacts crop yield and quality, but arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can mitigate these effects by improving plant growth, reducing bismuth uptake, and enhancing metal detoxification and antioxidant defenses. AMF manipulation may alleviate bismuth phytotoxicity in crops.
GBE50, a standardized Ginkgo biloba extract, shows potential as a protective agent against pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a severe lung disorder. Further research is needed to understand its mechanism of action.
This study analyzed phenolic compounds in walnut leaves from northern Iraq. The compounds showed antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making them potential candidates for antioxidant drugs to treat oxidative stress-related diseases.
A study synthesized plant extract-mediated metal oxide nanoparticles and evaluated their anticancer, antioxidant, and molecular binding efficacy. The biosynthesized nanoparticles showed potential as antioxidant and anticancer drug candidates, particularly for breast cancer. Cytotoxicity tests are recommended for further use.
