Neuroprotective potential of Ginkgo biloba on alteration of rat cerebellum following prenatal exposure to cyclophosphamide
This study investigated the cerebellar alteration in rats prenatally exposed to cyclophosphamide (SK, 20 mg/kg). We also evaluated the neuroprotective potential of Ginkgo biloba (GB, 80 mg/kg/day) against possible biological changes caused by SK in the cerebellar tissues. Twenty adult female rats (weighing 230-280 g, 12 weeks old) were divided into five groups: control, sham, SK, GB, and SK + GB. After mating, pregnant rats was treated with SK in the SK and SK + GB groups and GB in the GB and SK + GB groups from day 13 to day 21 of gestation. After parturition, eight female rats were randomly selected from each group. On d...

Complete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. HP-A2021, a Promising Bacterium for Natural Product Discovery
Biochem Genet. 2023 Mar 16. doi: 10.1007/s10528-023-10350-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStreptomyces are one of the most prolific sources of bioactive and structurally diverse secondary metabolites for natural product drug discovery. Genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis revealed that the genomes of Streptomyces harbor a wealth of cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters that could encode novel compounds. In this work, a genome mining approach was employed to investigate the biosynthetic potential of Streptomyces sp. HP-A2021, isolated from rhizosphere soil of Ginkgo biloba L. The complete genome ...

Ginaton reduces M1-polarized macrophages in hypertensive cardiac remodeling via NF- κB signaling
Conclusion: Our study showed that Ginaton treatment inhibits Ang II-induced M1 phenotype macrophage activation, macrophage adhesion, and mitigation, as well as the inflammatory response leading to impaired and dysfunctional hypertension and cardiac remodeling. Gianton may be a powerful treatment for heart disease. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Pharmacological activities and effective substances of the component-based Chinese medicine of Ginkgo biloba leaves based on serum pharmacochemistry, metabonomics and network pharmacology
As a potential drug candidate for the treatment of hypertension and complications, it is speculated that the component-based Chinese medicine of Ginkgo biloba leaves (GBCCM) which mainly composed of flavonoid aglycones (FAs) and terpene lactones (TLs) may have different pharmacological effects at different doses or ratios. Taking the normal mice as the study object, metabonomics was conducted by giving different doses of GBCCM. Based on the components of GBCCM absorbed into the blood, the network pharmacological prediction was carried out. By integrating the results of metabonomics and network pharmacology, predict the pos...

A systematic review of cognitive interventions for adult patients with brain tumours
ConclusionThe 35 studies identified in this systematic review have indicated potential cognitive benefits for a number of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions in patients with brain tumours. Study limitations were identified and further studies should focus on improved study reporting, methods to reduce bias and minimise participant drop-out and withdrawal where possible, and consider standardisation of methods and interventions across studies. Greater collaboration between centres could result in larger studies with standardised methods and outcome measures, and should be a focus of future research in the ...
