Ficus carica polysaccharide extraction via ultrasound-assisted technique: Structure characterization, antioxidant, hypoglycemic and immunomodulatory activities.

Researchers optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction to isolate FCPS, a water-soluble polysaccharide from Ficus carica fruits. FCPS showed antioxidant activity, improved insulin resistance, and activated immune response, indicating its potential as an antioxidant source and functional food.

Antiproliferative effect of Solanum nigrum L. water extract on breast can-cer cells: potential roles of apoptosis and oxidative stress.

Solanum nigrum water extract (SNWE) showed significant anticancer effects against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by inducing apoptotic cell death. This suggests that SNWE could be a potential non-toxic treatment option for breast cancer, but more research is needed.
