Anti-Parkinson's activity of Phragmites communis Trin. rhizomes and their liposomal formulation: Insights from chemical and molecular docking analyses.

Parkinson's disease (PD) arises primarily from the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, yet current therapeutic options remain inadequate for fully overcoming the disease or halting its progression. This critical unmet need has spurred significant research into natural products as promising neuroprotective agents. In this context, our study represents the first exploration of the in vivo anti-Parkinson's potential of Phragmites communis Trin.

Unveiling ortho-phenolic Mannich ciprofloxacin-chalcone conjugates with potential antineoplastic activity: synthesis, mechanistic study, in silico docking and molecular dynamic simulation.

A new series of ortho-phenolic Mannich ciprofloxacin-chalcone hybrids 5a-j were synthesized and evaluated against the NCI-60 cancer cell lines, unveiling their promising potential as cytotoxic agents. Notably, compounds 5a, 5d and 5j exhibited notable anti-proliferative efficacy against both LOX IMVI and HCT 116 cell lines, indicating promising cytotoxic potential, with IC = 2.53, 2.

Vincamine induces cytoprotective autophagy via regulation of ampk/mtor signaling pathway in gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats.

Gentamicin (GET), a widely utilized aminoglycoside antibiotic for severe bacterial infections, is associated with significant hepatorenal toxicity. These adverse effects are frequently exacerbated by GET-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the potential protective efficacy of vincamine (VIN) against GET-induced hepatic and renal damage.

Unlocking the potential of edible Ulva sp. seaweeds: Metabolomic profiling, neuroprotective mechanisms, and implications for Parkinson's disease management.

Green seaweed (Ulva sp.) is frequently used as a food component and nutraceutical agent because of its high polysaccharide and natural fiber content in Asian countries. This study investigates both metabolomic profiling of Ulva sp.

Activation of SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 and Beclin-1/AMPK/mTOR autophagy pathways by eprosartan ameliorates testicular dysfunction induced by testicular torsion in rats.

Testicular torsion carries the ominous prospect of inducing acute scrotal distress and the perilous consequence of testicular atrophy, necessitating immediate surgical intervention to reinstate vital testicular perfusion, notwithstanding the paradoxical detrimental impact of reperfusion. Although no drugs have secured approval for this urgent circumstance, antioxidants emerge as promising candidates. This study aspires to illustrate the influence of eprosartan, an AT1R antagonist, on testicular torsion in rats.

Irbesartan mitigates the impact of cyclophosphamide-induced acute neurotoxicity in rats: Shedding highlights on NLRP3 inflammasome/CASP-1 pathway-driven immunomodulation.

IIrbesartan (IRB), an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonist, has been widely employed in the medical field for its effectiveness in managing hypertension. However, there have been no documented investigations regarding the immunostimulatory properties of IRB. To address this gap, this study has been performed to assess the neuroprotective impact of IRB as an immunostimulatory agent in mitigating acute neurotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide (CYP) in rats.

Tamarix aphylla derived metabolites ameliorate indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats by modulating the MAPK signaling pathway, alleviating oxidative stress and inflammation: In vivo study supported by pharmacological network analysis.

Nature has proven to be a treasure resource of bioactive metabolites. In this regard, Tamarix aphylla (F. Tamaricaceae) leaves crude extract was investigated for its gastroprotective effect against indomethacin-induced damage to the gastric mucosa.

Apium extract alleviates indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats via modulating the VEGF and IK-κB/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway: insights from in silico and in vivo investigations.

Background: Gastric ulcers represent a worldwide health problem, characterized by erosions that affect the mucous membrane of the stomach and may even reach the muscular layer, leading to serious complications. Numerous natural products have been assessed as anti-ulcerogenic agents, and have been considered as new approaches for treatment or prevention of gastric ulcers. The present research investigated the preventive benefits of Apium graveolens L.

Assessing the Antiproliferative Potential of a Novel Combretastatin A4 Derivative Modulating Apoptosis, MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT Pathways in Human Breast Cancer Cells.

Background: Breast cancer is the most predominant tumor in women. Even though current medications for distinct breast cancer subtypes are available, the non-specificity of chemotherapeutics and chemoresistance imposes major obstacles in breast cancer treatment. Although combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) has been well-reported to have potential anticancer activity, studies of CA-4 reveal a decrease in its activity.

Wound Healing and Antioxidant Properties of Supported by Metabolomic Profiling and Molecular Docking.

Wounds adversely affect people’s quality of life and have psychological, social, and economic impacts. Herbal remedies of Launaea procumbens (LP) are used to treat wounds. In an excision wound model, topical application of LP significantly promoted wound closure (on day 14, LP-treated animals had the highest percentages of wound closure in comparison with the other groups, as the wound was entirely closed with a closure percentage of 100%, p < 0.

The Wound-Healing Potential of L. Cv. Arbequina Leaves Extract: An Integrated In Vitro, In Silico, and In Vivo Investigation.

Olea europaea L. Cv. Arbequina (OEA) (Oleaceae) is an olive variety species that has received little attention.

Wound Healing Metabolites from Peters' Elephant-Nose Fish Oil: An In Vivo Investigation Supported by In Vitro and In Silico Studies.

(F. Mormyridae) commonly known as Peters' elephant-nose fish is a freshwater elephant fish native to West and Central African rivers. The present research aimed at metabolic profiling of its derived crude oil via GC-MS analysis.

Antiulcer Potential of L. cv. Arbequina Leaf Extract Supported by Metabolic Profiling and Molecular Docking.

Gastric ulceration is among the most serious humanpublic health problems. L. cv.

Isolation and characterization of novel acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from L. leaves.

Metabolic profiling of the crude methanolic extract of leaves has revealed the presence of different phenolic and nitrogenous compounds including cerebrosides and tetrapyrrole pigments. A phytochemical study of the ethyl acetate fraction resulted in the identification of three known compounds, namely carpachromene (1), alpha amyrine acetate (2), and mucusoside (3) together with one new fatty acid glycoside, named 2--α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-hexacosanoate-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (4). The compounds were identified using 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESIMS techniques as well as comparison to other literature.
