Article Abstract
Background: The search for new plant raw material as a potential source of antioxidants is still ongoing. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity of the plant raw material of Crambe spp. during vegetation.
Methods: The free radical scavenging activity and molybdenum reducing power of the extracts were used to determine antioxidant activity. The quantification of polyphenol compounds was conducted with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Flavonoids and phenolic acids were also determined. The disc diffusion method was used to determine antimicrobial activity.
Results: It was determined that the free radical scavenging activity, assessed using the DPPH-method, was 4.38-8.20 mg TE/g DW, the molybdenum reducing power of the extracts was 40.07-129.12 mg TE/g DW, total polyphenol content was 20.24-70.88 mg GAE/g DW, total flavonoid content was 5.73-29.92 mg QE/g DW, and phenolic acid content was 3.00-10.63 mg CAE/g DW. Antimicrobial activity depended on the stage of growth and the part of the plant used.
Conclusions: Crambe spp. possess the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential to mean that they could be used in pharmaceutical studies and the food industry.

The oral epithelial barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by protecting against microbial invasion and mechanical stress while regulating selective permeability. Disruption of this barrier contributes to inflammation and the development of oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Pinoresinol, a lignan with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, has demonstrated health benefits in systemic diseases; however, its effects on oral epithelial barrier integrity remain unclear.

Unlabelled: Propolis, or bee glue, is a resinous substance produced by honeybees from plant resins, rich in bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cavity properties. These qualities make it a valuable natural preservative in the food industry, extending shelf life and preventing spoilage. Propolis has gained attention as an alternative to synthetic preservatives.

Introduction: leaves (FSL), a traditional Chinese ethnomedicinal herbal material used to prepare health-promoting infusions and pharmacologically noted for their robust anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and broad-spectrum antiviral activities, nevertheless have an as-yet-uncharacterized molecular mechanism of action against human adenovirus (HAdV).
Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap/MS) was employed to identification of FSL components. Publicly available GEO datasets were mined to identify HAdV-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
