Anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities of flavone C-glycosides of Lophatherum gracile for COVID-19.

This study identified the bioactive components of a medicinal plant, (). Flavone-glycosides were found to be responsible for anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. A method was developed to extract these compounds, which were shown to restrict respiratory bursts and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings suggest that could potentially be used as a supplement to treat COVID-19 associated with neutrophils.

Effects of inhaling essential oils of Citrus limonum L., Santalum album, and Cinnamomum camphora on human brain activity.

The impact of inhaling essential oils on cognitive function and the brain had not been well-understood. In this study, researchers used electroencephalography to examine the effects of inhaling lemon, sandalwood, and kusunoki essential oils on memory function and brain activity. While all three oils showed some effect on cognitive function, kusunoki oil appeared to be the most powerful. This study offers insight into the potential benefits of essential oils on cognitive health, specifically memory.
