Tchihatchewia isatidea Boiss (Brassicaceae) is known among the public as “Reddish Bride”, “Paint and Bridal Flower”. Flower parts are used for painting and flowering branches for treatment of cough. In this study, anticancer properties of water, ethanol and methanol extracts of Tchihatchewia isatidea flower parts were investigated against human breast (MCF-7), human colon (HCT-116) and human prostate (LNCaP) cancer cell lines. Changes in the viability of cancer cells were detected by utilizing 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Studies have shown that there is a statistically significant decrease in the cell viability of human breast cancer (MCF-7), colon (HCT-116) and prostate (LNCaP) cancer cells when extracts of T. isatidea water, ethanol and methanol are used.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is categorized as an autoimmune disease that leads to bone or joint deformity due to altered immune response. Studies have concluded the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in the progression of RA and agents inhibiting these processes showed benificial effect against the disease. Xuebijing (XBJ) injection is an intravenous patent preparation made from five-traditional Chinese medicines. Previous studies showed its excellent pharmacological activities, such as against sepsis, inflammation, and oxidative stress which has encouraged us to investigate the protective effect of XBJ against rheumatoid arthritis cell line (MH7A). For this purpose, the effect of XBJ was quantified on several parameters on the human synovial MH7A cell line activated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The results of the study showed that the level of tested interleukines (IL- 1β, IL- 6, IL- 8) and collagenases 1, and 13, and matrix metallo-proteinases 1, and 13 (MMP-1, and MMP-13) were found significantly reduced in XBJ treated group as compared to TNF-α treated MH7A cells. The XBJ treated group showed reduction in mRNA protein expression of COX-2 and iNOS in RT-qPCR assay. The rate of cellular apoptosis was found increased in XBJ treated group with reduction of cell viability of MH7A cells. The XBJ also showed attenuation of the expression of p-MEK/1/2 and p-p65 in MH7A cells in a western blot analysis. Our results demonstrated that XBJ significantly inhibits the inflammatory response, prevents cell viability, and induces apoptosis in human RA synovial cells by preventing the activation of the MEK/NF-κB pathway.

Skin ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious condition that compromises skin flap surgery and leads to organ dysfunction. It arose due to restoration of blood supply after prolonged ischemia. The present study was conducted to explore the possible protective Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) on skin ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. The ISL was administered to rats in the dose of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, and 30 mg/kg. The effect of ISL was quantified on the skin tissue of rats following the I/R injury on various indices of inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis together with the effect on skin survival. ISL improves the survival of skin which is further confirmed by the histopathological analysis. It also causes a reduction of apoptosis as shown by TUNEL staining. The level of oxidative stress was found significantly reduced by restoring the MDA, SOD, and GSH levels near to normal. The level of inflammation was also decreased as suggested by reduced level of cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. The ISL also causes a significant reduction of COX-2 and iNOS in western blot analysis. Collectively, our study has shown a beneficial effect of ISL against skin I/R injury via multiple mechanisms of action, such as attenuation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Ya-Tri-Kasornmas and Ya-Tri-Phigut are polyherbal tea that have been listed as essential medicines in the National List of Essential Medicines, Thailand. They are widely consumed among the Thai populace. Thus, aqueous extracts of Ya-Tri-Karsornmas and Ya-Tri-Phigut polyherbal formulations were subjected to screening against oxidative stress promoters such as reactive oxygen species using in vitro antioxidant models. In addition, their capacities to lower lipid peroxidation were measured. Yield of the extract from Ya-Tri-Phigut polyherbal formulation was 7.22% (w/w), while that from Ya-Tri-Kasornmas was 5.50% (w/w) (P < 0.05). The study revealed that the aqueous extract of Ya-Tri-Phigut showed better antioxidant capacities to inhibit reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation activities than Ya-Tri-Karsornmas (P <0 .05). Thus, Ya-Tri-Phigut polyherbal tea may potentially serve as a rich nutraceutical agent to combat oxidative stress and health related diseases.

The current study was intended to examine the difference in the phytochemical and antioxidant profile of nine Indigofera species. With this aim, the species were assessed for total phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), DPPH free radical scavenging, ferrous ion chelating activity, phosphomolybdenum reducing power, deoxyribose degradation, β-carotene bleaching, nitric oxide scavenging, and superoxide radical scavenging assays. The content of total phenolics and flavonoids ranged from 1.33 to 22.5 mg TAE/g plant material and 0.47 to 5.02 mg QE/g plant material respectively in the various species, while the antioxidant activity as tested with different antioxidant test models varied with the species studied as well as with the solvents used for the extraction. Interestingly, all the tested extracts demonstrated considerable free radical scavenging activity, moreover, I. hirsuta, I. glandulosa, I. linnaei, I. hochstetteri, I. linifolia, and I. trita were found to be the most effective among the species studied. The results indicated the significant differences in phytochemical constituents and the antioxidant activity among the species. The Pearson correlation coefficient analysis exhibited a significant correlation of phenolics and flavonoids with the antioxidant activity.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a serious inflammatory condition associated with severe itching and persistent eczematous lesion. Therefore, the present study was intended to scrutinize the beneficial effect of Luteolin (LT) on the atopic dermatitis murine model. The effect of LT was investigated on the various parameters, such as oxidative stress and inflammation after induction of AD. The serum level of IgE, and cells of the WBC family (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, and total WBC) and histopathological analysis of skin tissue were also examined to confirm the effect of LT. Results of the study suggested that LT significantly inhibited the elevated IgE level together with improvement in injured skin tissue architecture. It also reduces oxidative stress (MDA, SOD, and GSH) and inflammation (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-17A) as evidenced by ELISA analysis. The level of examined WBC family cells was found reduced significantly as compared to the AD model group. In western blot analysis, LT showed significant down-regulation of NF-ĸB and TLR-4. Collectively, our results suggest that LT can effectively reverse the effect of atopic dermatitis via improving immunological response.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a serious health concern across the globe. Despite its non-fatal character, it accounts for affecting millions of people across the world and is deemed responsible to affect their quality of life and put a significant economic burden. In the current study, we aimed to assess the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms of ellipticine (ETC) against AR using ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine model of allergic rhinitis. The ETC was administered to mice via intra-peritoneal route after suspending in 5% CMC after sensitization by OVA. Results of the study suggested that ETC causes a significant reduction the nose rubs as compared to disease control. A significant reduction in the serum level of histamine, IgG1, TNF-α, IL-1β, MIP-2, and IL-6 was found in ETC treated group in a dose-dependent manner as compared to OVA challenged mice. It also reduces eosinophils in BALF of AR mice. In western blot analysis, the expression of aberrantly activated COX-2 and NF-ĸB found significantly reduced in ETC treated group due to inhibition of TLR-4 and caspase-1 as compared to disease-control mice. ETC showed significant interaction with residues of the active site of COX-2 and NF-ĸB. Collectively, our results indicated that ETC can be used to improve present therapeutic strategies against AR.

Cassia auriculata is an Ayurvedic medicinal herb, traditionally indicated for diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Several works have demonstrated its antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic activity in vivo and in vitro. Nevertheless, only a few works have investigated its phytochemical composition, and specifically, the polyphenolic composition of the various plant parts that are traditionally used. In this work, the polyphenolic composition of C. auriculata leaves, flowers and flower buds were evaluated using UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS. Our results demonstrated the polyphenolic profile of C. auriculata plant parts. A total of five benzoic acids, four hydroxycinnamic acids, three flavonoids and two other phenolic compounds were identified and quantified. Our results show that in C. auriculata leaves, flavonoids were most abundant (4204 µg/g DW), while in flowers benzoic acids were the most prominent (3924 µg/g DW). Total benzoic acid contents ranged from 1580 to 3924 µg/g DW in leaf and flower, respectively. Hydroxycinnamic acids ranged from 404 µg/g DW in flower buds to 2623 µg/g DW in leaves. Flavonoids showed the highest contents in leaves, while the lowest levels were observed in flowers (2626 µg/g DW). The meaning of the results is discussed in light of the bioactivities of phenolic compounds, concomitant with C. auriculata reported medicinal bioactivities. To our knowledge, this is the first work to identify and quantify polyphenolic compounds in flower and bud of C. auriculata.

COVID-19 is the current health challenge across the world. It originated in Wuhan, China, and has now spread to more than 180 countries. It is a zoonotic disease which spreads through droplets. The severity of disease is likely to end with the discovery of vaccines only. Researchers are repurposing drugs to fill the gap between COVID-19 and vaccine designing. Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs are preferred but they exhibit side effects. We have screened pentagalloylglucose present in Terminalia chebula which can prevent SARS-CoV-2 entry to the host cell. In this study, we have taken 8 active phytochemicals of Terminalia chebula which include gallic acid, chebulic acid, chebulanin, neochebulinic acid, ellagic acid, chebulagic acid, chebulinic acid, and pentagalloyglucose against spike proteins (S1 and S2), Replicase Polyprotein, 3C-like protease (3CL pro), Papain-like protease (PLpro), RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2. HADDOCK online server, Discovery Studio Visualizer and PyRx Vina tools were used to screen the potential component from T. chebula. It was analysed that pentagalloylglucose can be a better phytochemical against spike protein S1 similar to hemagglutinin of influenza virus. This phytochemical can be further used as a drug against SARS-CoV-2.
COVID-19是当前全球面临的卫生挑战。它起源于中国武汉，现已传播到180多个国家。这是一种通过飞沫传播的人畜共患疾病。疾病的严重性很可能只随着疫苗的发现而结束。研究人员正在重新利用药物来填补COVID-19和疫苗设计之间的空白。广谱抗病毒药物是首选，但它们有副作用。我们已经筛选了chebula中存在的可以阻止SARS-CoV-2进入宿主细胞的五烯丙基葡萄糖。在本研究中，我们对chebula Terminalia的8种活性植物化学物质，包括没食子酸、chebullic酸、chebulanin、新chebullinic酸、鞣花酸、chebulagic酸、chebullinic酸、chebullinic acid和pentagalglyglucose，进行了抗SARS-CoV-2的刺突蛋白(S1和S2)、复制酶多蛋白、3c样蛋白酶(3CL pro)、木瓜蛋白酶(PLpro)、RNA依赖性RNA聚合酶(RdRp)的研究。利用HADDOCK在线服务器、Discovery Studio Visualizer和PyRx Vina工具对天牛的潜在成分进行筛选。分析表明，五没食子糖是一种较好的抗穗蛋白S1的植物化学物质，与流感病毒的血凝素相似。这种植物化学物质可以进一步用作对抗SARS-CoV-2的药物。

It originated in Wuhan, China, and has now spread to more than 180 countries. It is a zoonotic disease which spreads through droplets. The severity of disease is likely to end with the discovery of vaccines only. Researchers are repurposing drugs to fill the gap between COVID-19 and vaccine designing. Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs are preferred but they exhibit side effects. We have screened pentagalloylglucose present in Terminalia chebula which can prevent SARS-CoV-2 entry to the host cell.

Nature has provided man with a bountiful supply of components that have the potential to improve the life of man on earth. Among the foremost widely recognized in this category are medicinal plants. Medicinal plants have been a rich source of therapeutic compounds used in various traditional medicines worldwide for thousands of years, due to the presence of active phytocomponents, which help in preventing various diseases. The betel (Piper betle L.) is that the leaf of a vine belonging to the Piperaceae family, which is taken into account a medicinal plant in Southeast Asia. Piper betle leaves have a number of bioactivities and are utilized in traditional medicinal systems. Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum L.) is a tree belonging to the family Myrtaceae. Unopened flowering buds are used as a spice in food preparations all over the world. Eugenol is present abundantly in both Piper betle leaves and Syzygium aromaticum flowers. In the splendid of the above, we thought it significant to aggregate the exceptional review of writing on Piper betle, Syzygium aromaticum and their bioactive component eugenol, covering its, chemical constituents, therapeutic role and medicinal uses.
