A Novel Glycosylated Ferulic Acid Conjugate: Synthesis, Antioxidative Neuroprotection Activities In Vitro, and Alleviation of Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (CIRI) In Vivo.

Antioxidative neuroprotection is effective at preventing ischemic stroke (IS). Ferulic acid (FA) offers benefits in the treatment of many diseases, mostly due to its antioxidant activities. In this study, a glycosylated ferulic acid conjugate (FA-Glu), with 1,2,3-triazole as a linker and bioisostere between glucose at the C6 position and FA at the C4 position, was designed and synthesized.

Engineered Halomonas sp. Y3 enables highly efficient upcycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) to polyhydroxyalkanoates.

The global plastic crisis demands innovative solutions for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a chemically stable polymer constituting 23 % of annual plastic waste. This study presents a significant advance in PET upcycling using engineered Halomonas sp. Y3, a halophilic bacterium uniquely suited for industrial bioprocessing.

Golden Flower Tibetan Tea Polysaccharides Alleviate Constipation in Mice by Regulating Aquaporins-Mediated Water Transport System and Gut Microbiota.

Constipation, a widespread gastrointestinal disorder, often leads to the exploration of natural remedies. This study examines the efficacy of Golden Flower Tibetan Tea Polysaccharides (GFTTPs) in alleviating constipation in mice. Chemical analyses reveal that GFTTPs possess O-H, carboxyl, carboxylic acid (-COOH), and C-O-C groups, alongside a porous crystal structure with thermal stability.

Unlocking the therapeutic treasure of pomegranate leaf: A comprehensive review on phytochemical compounds, health benefits, and future prospects.

The exploration of sustainable and valuable by-products from industrial and agricultural processes is increasingly recognized for its economic, environmental and health advantages. This review examines the phytochemical constituents, biological properties, current applications and future directions of pomegranate ( L.) leaf (PGL).

Comprehensive Analysis of Phenolic Constituents, Biological Activities, and Derived Aroma Differences of Pursh Leaves after Processing into Green and Black Tea.

Pursh (Penthoraceae) is a traditional herb used in Miao medical systems that is also processed into foods (e.g., tea products) in China.

A Novel Quercetin Encapsulated Glucose Modified Liposome and Its Brain-Target Antioxidative Neuroprotection Effects.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are mainly induced by oxidative stress which produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Quercetin (QU) is a potent antioxidant with some effects on NDDs. This study prepared and characterized a novel glucose-modified QU liposome (QU-Glu-Lip), aiming not only to overcome QU's poor water solubility and bioavailability but also to deliver more QU to brain tissue to enhance its neuroprotective effect.

L. Fruits: A Promising Underexploited Source of Nutrients with Potential Economic Value.

In recent times, less-known fruit species have increasingly attracted worldwide attention and their health benefits are at the forefront. The fruits of plants from the genus are good sources of nutrients due to their economic, agronomic, and healthy values. However, L.

Study on the antineoplastic and toxicological effects of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) leaf infusion using the K14-HPV16 transgenic mouse model.

Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) has been used in functional foods due to its various health benefits. However, the in vivo biological potential of its leaf remains little known.

Variation of the Polyphenolic Composition and Antioxidant Capacity of Freshly Prepared Pomegranate Leaf Infusions over One-Day Storage.

In recent decades, an intensive search for natural and novel types of antioxidant polyphenolics has been carried out on numerous plant materials. However, the current literature has very little information on their storage stability in the form of freshly prepared infusions. This study aims to characterize the polyphenolic composition and the antioxidant capacity of pomegranate ( L.

Phytochemical and antioxidant analysis of medicinal and food plants towards bioactive food and pharmaceutical resources.

Plants with medicinal properties play an increasingly important role in food and pharmaceutical industries for their functions on disease prevention and treatment. This study characterizes the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of seven medicinal and food plants, including the leaves of Salvia officinalis L., Rosmarinus officinalis L.
