Screening of promising chemotherapeutic candidates from plants against human adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (VIII): six new withanolides from Physalis philadelphica
In this study, we attempted to isolate their active compounds against MT-1 and MT-2 from extracts ofP. philadelphica. We identified 13 withanolides, including six newly isolated compounds [24R, 25S-4 β, 16β, 20R-trihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2-en-5 β, 6 β -epoxy-22,26-olide (1), 4 β, 7β,20R-trihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2-en-5 β, 6β -epoxy-22,26-olide (2), 17 β,20S-dihydroxywithanone (3), 2,3-dihydro-3 β-methoxy-23β-hydroxywithaphysacarpin (4), 3-O-(4-rhamnosyl)glucosyl-physalolactone B (5), and 17R, 20R, 22S, 23S, 24R, 25R-4 β, 5α, 6β, 20β, 22α -tetrahydroxy-16β, 23-diepoxy-1-oxowitha-2-en-26, 23-olide (6)], from the ext...

Therapeutic Implications of Some Natural Products for Neuroimmune Diseases: A Narrative of Clinical Studies Review
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2023 Apr 13;2023:5583996. doi: 10.1155/2023/5583996. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTNeuroimmune diseases are a group of disorders that occur due to the dysregulation of both the nervous and immune systems, and these illnesses impact tens of millions of people worldwide. However, patients who suffer from these debilitating conditions have very few FDA-approved treatment options. Neuroimmune crosstalk is important for controlling the immune system both centrally and peripherally to maintain tissue homeostasis. This review aims to provide readers with information on how natural products modulate ...

1420 Ashwagandha-derived exosome-like nanoparticles promote human hair growth ex vivo
Novel strategies to inhibit hair loss are in high demand. Therapies using human-derived exosomes are currently being explored to promote hair growth with promising results, however the production of human-derived exosomes for large-scale use is proving challenging. Recently, the discovery that plant-derived exosome-like-nanoparticles may offer a valid substitute has opened new research venues. Here, we investigated whether this emerging therapy may be beneficial to modulate hair growth by selecting Ashwagandha, an herb traditionally used for improving overall health and relieving stress, as the source of plant-derived exos...
