A Novel Paradigm Defines Functional Molecule Clusters for an Anti-Alzheimer's Disease Recipe from Traditional Chinese Medicine
In this study, a similarity analysis based on molecular fingerprints was adopted to explore the representative molecules of the Tiaoxin recipe, a Chinese patent formula approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 38 out of 1047 chemicals were finally screened out. Next, we tried to define a new concept of a "functional molecule cluster" for chemicals with similar pharmacological effects to elucidate how the chemical mixture from TCMs produce their therapeutic effects. Four anti-AD functional molecule clusters from the Tiaoxin recipe wer...

Conservation genetics of endangered Trillium govanianum Wall. ex D. Don - a pharmaceutically prized medicinal plant from the Himalaya and implications for species recovery
Gene. 2023 Aug 29:147748. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147748. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the genetic diversity and population structure of pharmaceutically important endangered plant species is crucial for their conservation and sustainable use. Despite the continuous population decline in Trillium govanianum Wall. ex D. Don, a highly prized medicinal plant endemic to the Himalaya, information regarding its conservation genetics has been lacking. Here, we employed a conservation genetics approach to investigate how drastically declining populations in natural habitats impact population genetic diversity and s...

Inter- and intraspecific diversity of Salix bark phenolic profiles - A resource for the pharmaceutical industry
Fitoterapia. 2023 Aug 28:105660. doi: 10.1016/j.fitote.2023.105660. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to their content of phenolic compounds, willow bark preparations are used as an herbal remedy. The large diversity of phenolic secondary metabolites in Salix still provides a resource for the identification of bioactive compounds in particular species, including species not yet in focus from a phytopharmaceutical perspective. The present study describes the bark phenolic profile of 13 Salix species analyzed by HPLC-MS: Salix alba, Salix babylonica, Salix daphnoides, Salix fragilis, Salix hastata, Salix myrsinifolia, Salix ...

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Ameliorates Allergic Inflammation in HMC-1 Cells by Inactivating NF- κB and MAPK Signaling Pathways
Biochem Genet. 2023 Aug 30. doi: 10.1007/s10528-023-10492-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAllergic inflammation is the foundation of multiple allergic disorders, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Mast cells are effector cells that initiate inflammatory response. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a furfural compound, is the heat-processed product of various fruit, foods, drinks, as well as some Chinese herbal medicines. 5-HMF was previously reported to inhibit mast cell activation. Our study aimed to explore the functions of 5-HMF in both phorbol 12-mystate 13-acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore (A23187)-induced allerg...

This study aimed to investigate the in vitro α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition effect, in vivo antidiabetic, and antioxidant activities of extracts obtained from P. mascula. The in vivo studies were conducted on diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts showed the highest efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, reducing AST, ALT, and MDA levels while increasing GSH and SOD activities in rats. In total, seven compounds were isolated from both extracts, and their structures were identified using spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D NMR and Mass Spectrometry. The in vitro...

Types of Nursing Intervention on Improving Quality of Life among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Sequentially, the most common types of nursing interventions to improve the QoL of DM patients was health education, followed by exercise, WA/SMS gateway, and glucose control. A personal approach to health education is a significant point in improving the QoL of DM patients in the future. The findings of this study might not be strongly generalized, so further randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies with larger samples are needed.PMID:37644750 | DOI:10.2174/1573399820666230829103016

Avicularin alleviates acute liver failure by regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF- κB and Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathways to reduce inflammation and ferroptosis
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Aug 29. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17905. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute liver failure (ALF) is an inflammation-mediated hepatocyte death process associated with ferroptosis. Avicularin (AL), a Chinese herbal medicine, exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. However, the protective effect of AL and the mechanism on ALF have not been reported. Our in vivo results suggest that AL significantly alleviated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced hepatic pathological injury, liver enzymes, inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species and iron levels and increased the antioxidant...
