We studied the effect of quercetin on ovarian adenocarcinoma SKOV-3 cell line and isogenic subline SKOV-3/CDDP resistant to the anticancer drug cisplatin. It was found that in resistant cells, quercetin in a concentration of 100 μM that causes a decrease in the cell viability suppressed the expression of genes encoding the key antioxidant enzymes (SOD2, CAT, GPX1, and HO-1), transcription factor Nrf2, and kinases of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In parental cells, quercetin, on the contrary, increased the expression of these genes. The results confirm the redox-dependent regulation induced by quercetin and its opposite nature in cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant cancer cells.

Background: Heat illness is a dangerous condition marked by a widespread inflammatory response. Although Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth and its derivatives are clinically used, their mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: 11 heat illness patients and 14 healthy volunteers from Southwest Medical University Affiliated Hospital were enrolled.

It is known that quercetin is useful in the treatment of pressure wounds due to its ability to reduce oxygen radicals, but its effect on eyelid wound healing is unclear. In this study, forty male Wistar albino rats weighing 250-300 grams were used to investigate the effect of quercetin on eyelid wound healing. Four groups were created: control group, sham group, incision wound group, and suture + quercetin group.

In this study, tannic acid (TA) was applied to remodel the structure of quercetin-loaded oat globulin fibrils (UF-Que), to form novel fibril-based composite hydrogels (UF-Que-TA) to encapsulate Que. The hydrogels were prepared by varying the [TA]/[UF] ratio to investigate the impact of TA on gelation behavior, microstructure, molecular interactions, and stability of Que. Physicochemical results indicated that the incorporation of TA significantly enhanced the gel strength and promoted non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and ionic interactions.

Introduction: The white water lily (Nymphaea alba) is a traditional medicinal plant recognized for its diverse array of bioactive properties. However, its potential in wound healing remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and wound healing efficacy of Nymphaea alba flower extract (NAFE) using both in vitro and in vivo models, as well as computational network analysis.
