Xiao-Ai Jie-Du decoction is a treatment for DLBCL with varying prescriptions. It has shown effectiveness in clinical practice.
Scientists cloned and expressed a gene encoding an enzyme that converts ginsenoside Rb1 into gypenoside XVII, a compound with improved anti-inflammatory activity. This method has potential for large-scale production of gypenoside XVII as a new anti-inflammatory drug.
Researchers identified aloeresin-A as a potential inhibitor for bacterial and host targets in contact lens-mediated microbial keratitis. It demonstrated strong binding energies and stable interactions, making it a promising candidate for inhibiting keratitis. Further research is needed for integration into lens care solutions.
Indian medicinal plant yields bioactive endophytic fungus, OP870014, with potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, introducing the possibility of using these fungi as a natural source of therapeutic compounds.
This study explored the antioxidative ability of different parts of DC. var. Kitam. plant. Leaf extracts showed the highest dry weight and all parts contained silychristin and taxifolin. Flower, leaf, and stem extracts reduced oxidative stress, indicating the potential health benefits and use as a silymarin source.
The study extracted essential oils from a plant with medicinal and edible properties. The oils showed antioxidant and antibacterial activities, making the plant a potential candidate for medicinal and edible purposes.
Dandelion polysaccharides were found to reduce triglyceride levels, cholesterol levels, and atherosclerotic lesions in mice. They also increased collagen content and antioxidant enzyme activity, while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Dandelion polysaccharides may be beneficial for treating atherosclerosis.
