Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Wormwood vaginal gel in improving sexual function and sexual satisfaction in women of reproductive age: a Randomized, Triple-Blinds, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Sexual dysfunction in women is a growing problem in the world, which according to studies, affects 10-52% of men and 25-63% of women [1,2]. In a systematic study and meta-analysis (2016), the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in 215,740 women of reproductive age was reported at 41% [3].

Chemometric approach to the composition of flavonoid compounds and phenolic acids and antioxidant potential of Artemisia species from different habitats
Chem Biodivers. 2022 Oct 31. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202200365. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFour Artemisia species from Serbia were selected for the study: A. annua L., A. absinthium L., A. vulgaris L. and A. scoparia Waldst. et Kit. because of the proven excellent action in treating certain medical conditions and diseases. A. absinthium L., A. vulgaris L., A. annua L. and A. scoparia Waldst. et Kit. collected from different habitats across Serbia (48 samples in total) were studied from the statistical aspect considering the phenolic and flavonoid contents, compositions, and antioxidant activities of methanol extracts in corre...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7335: Chemical Profiling and Biological Activity of Extracts from Nine Norwegian Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
s Rosnes There is an increased interest in identifying beneficial compounds of plant origin that can be added to animal diets to improve animal performance and have a health-promoting effect. In the present study, nine herb species of the Norwegian wild flora or which can be cultivated in Norway were selected for phytogenic evaluation (hops, maral root, mint, oregano, purslane, rosemary, roseroot, sweet wormwood, yarrow). Dried herbs were sequentially extracted with dichloromethane (DCM), ethanol (EtOH) and finally water (H2O) by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The UAE protocol was found to be more rational than ...

In vitro effects of European and Latin-American medicinal plants in CYP3A4 gene expression, glutathione levels, and P-glycoprotein activity
In conclusion, this preclinical study shows that the administration of some of these herbal medicines causes in vitro disturbances to key drug metabolism mechanisms. We recommend active pharmacovigilance for Libidibia ferrea (Mart.) L. P. Queiroz, Frangula purshiana Cooper, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi, and Salix alba L. which were able to alter all targets in our preclinical study. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Artemisia capillaris nucleorhabdovirus 1, a novel member of the  genus Alphanucleorhabdovirus, identified in the Artemisia capillaris transcriptome
Acta Virol. 2022;66(2):149-156. doi: 10.4149/av_2022_204.ABSTRACTA novel, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus, Artemisia capillaris nucleorhabdovirus 1 (AcNRV1), was identified in the transcriptome data of Artemisia capillaris (commonly known as capillary wormwood) root tissue. The AcNRV1 genome contains six open reading frames encoding a nucleocapsid (N), phosphoprotein, movement protein P3, matrix protein, glycoprotein, and polymerase (L). Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis using L and N protein sequences revealed that AcNRV1 is a novel member of the genus Alphanucleorhabdovirus, one of the six plant-inf...
