Evaluation of hesperidin as a potential larvicide against Culex pipiens with computational prediction of its mode of action via molecular docking.

Hesperidin, a natural flavanone glycoside predominantly found in citrus fruits, has gained attention for its wide-ranging biological activities, including potential insecticidal properties. Culex pipiens, commonly known as the northern house mosquito, is a major vector of several human pathogens, such as the West Nile virus and filariasis, making it a key target in the fight against vector-borne diseases. In this study, we evaluated the larvicidal activity of Hesperidin against Culex pipiens larvae, assessing its potential as an alternative to chemical insecticides.

Anti-asthmatic and antioxidant activity of flavonoids isolated from Mentha longifolia subspecies typhoides (Briq.) Harley. and Mentha longifolia subspecies schimperi (Briq.) Briq. on ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma in mice: In-vivo and in-silico study.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Mentha longifolia L. has been employed to treat cough, lung inflammation, and bronchial asthma disorders.

Aim Of The Study: Our study was carried out to investigate the medicinal effect of the flavonoids derived from M.

Harnessing potential COX-2 engagement for boosting anticancer activity of substituted 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinones with promising EGFR/VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities.

We designed and synthesized new quinazolinone-tethered phenyl thiourea/thiadiazole derivatives 4-26. Based on their structural characteristics, these compounds were proposed to have a multi-target mode of action for their anticancer activities. Using the MTT assay method, antiproliferative effects were assessed against three human cancer cell lines (HEPG-2, MCF-7, and HCT-116).

A Novel Treatment for Skin Manifestations in Dermatomyositis: A Case Report.

We present a case of refractory cutaneous dermatomyositis (DM) in a 51-year-old Hispanic female which failed multiple treatments but found symptomatic relief with anifrolumab. Anifrolumab was the only treatment that was associated with significant improvement in the rash and pruritis of the patient and lowered her corticosteroid needs. To our knowledge, this is the only second case report that has shown success in treating refractory cutaneous symptoms of DM with anifrolumab after failing standard and multiple combinations of therapies.

Chemical composition and toxicity studies on L. flower essential oil and its binding and pharmacokinetics to superoxide dismutase 1 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) therapy.

Using the gas chromatography mass spectrometry method, the chemical components of essential oil from flowers of growing in Egypt are analyzed. Through this investigation, 22 chemicals from floral oil were identified. Most of the oil is made up of sesquiterpene caryophyllene (15.
