Article Abstract
Antioxidant activity of five different extracts (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and ethanol-water) of aerial parts was investigated by three various methods: ferrous ion chelating (FIC) assay, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method and β-carotene bleaching (BCB) test. Total phenolic contents (TPC) were measured by Folin-Ciocalteu method. The hydroethanolic extract exhibited the stronger inhibitory activity in BCB and FIC assays than the other extracts. Among the extracts analyzed, the ethyl acetate and ethanolic extracts exhibited the highest TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity, respectively. Reversed phase vacuum liquid chromatography of ethanolic extract (with the highest extraction yield) produced five fractions (A to E) which were subjected to all antecedent experiments. The same sample (Fraction C) showed the highest TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity while there were no statistically significant correlations between TPC and EC values of various antioxidant assays. Ethyl caffeate and a spinacetin glycoside were isolated from the most active fraction and their structures were established using spectroscopic analysis including NMR and MS.

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by infrequent and difficult bowel movements, hard stool consistency, and delayed intestinal transit. The present study evaluated the phytochemical profile and physiological effects of the aqueous extract of beetroot leaves (AEBL) in a rat model of Loperamide (LOP)-induced constipation. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to six groups (n = 6): two controls (normal and constipated) and four constipated groups receiving either increasing doses of AEBL (100, 200, or 400 mg/kg, b.

Radiation dermatitis is a common side effect of radiotherapy, affecting up to 95% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy and often leading to skin damage, inflammation, and ulceration. The pathogenesis of radiation dermatitis involves complex mechanisms, such as the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sustained inflammatory responses. Current treatments, including topical steroids, moisturisers, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), often provide limited efficacy, primarily addressing symptoms rather than the underlying pathophysiological processes.

Sesame protein of different cultivars exhibits varying functional characteristics, making it challenging to achieve standardization in industrial applications. Therefore, we aimed to identify more suitable sesame protein for industrial processing. This study characterized the composition, structure, interfacial properties, and functional traits of sesame protein of nine cultivars.

Schiff bases containing sulfonyl units are important compounds because of their potential biological properties in the therapeutical field. In this study, three novel ligands (L1, L2, and L3) containing the sulfonyl groups, a derivative of Schiff base, were synthesized, and their molecular structures were characterized by FT-IR, H-NMR, C NMR, and elemental analysis results. The antiproliferative activities of these Schiff base ligands were evaluated against human colon cancer (HT-29 and Caco-2) and mouse fibroblast (L929) cells by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.
