Chemopreventive effect of modified zeng-sheng-ping on oral squamous cell carcinoma by regulating tumor associated macrophages through targeting tnf alpha induced protein 6.

Researchers developed a modified anti-cancer drug, ZSP-M, based on Zeng-Sheng-Ping, with high efficacy and low toxicity for oral cancer. They aim to understand its pharmacodynamic material basis and its effect on tumor-associated macrophages. This could lead to potentially effective treatments for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Exploring the wound healing activity of phytosomal gel of Annona squamosa and Cinnamomum tamala leaves ethanolic extracts with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in S aureus infected excision wound model.

Researchers combined ethanolic extracts of two plants to create a Polyherbal Ethanolic extract (PHEE) with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. PHEE incorporated in a gel showed improved wound healing and reduced bacterial load in infected wounds, outperforming Povidone iodine ointment.
