Article Abstract

is widely known as a medical plant with broad indigenous ethnomedicinal uses, including anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Despite being used for remedies and ethnomedicinal purposes, the benefits obtained from still need to be fully utilized. The underwhelming studies on its pharmacological potential, bioactive compounds, and mechanism of action keep the pharmacological and new drug discovery progress of this plant slow. This study focuses on the incorporation of in silico analyses such as ADME prediction and molecular docking simulations on the bioactive compounds identified in the plant to assess their potential for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory applications. A comparison of the ADME properties and molecular docking scores showed that naringenin, pinocembrin, and eriodictyol had the most potential to act as inhibitors of the target proteins involved in inflammation and oxidation pathways against the positive controls.

Alstoniaschines A‒I (1‒9), nine previously alkaloids sharing five different skeletons were obtained from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris. The structures and absolute configurations were established by their extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including NMR, HRESIMS, X-ray crystallography data, and theoretical ECD calculations. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 9 exerted significant protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammatory damage of podocytes induced by high glucose, manifesting as the increase of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, alongside the reductions of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactate dehydrogenase.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).
