Flavonoids have been documented to have good antioxidant activities in vitro. In recent years, reports on the antioxidant activities of flavone glycosides, a subclass of flavonoids, have attracted great attention. Despite the wealth of information on this subject, the correlation between structure and function is not well understood.

- - Chicory is being researched as a functional food, and this study examines how gastrointestinal digestion affects its composition and bioactive properties by creating an aqueous decoction from chicory flour.
- - The study utilized a metabolomic approach to observe how digestion changes specific bioactive molecules across different stages (oral, gastric, and intestinal) and evaluated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hormone regulation effects before and after digestion.
- - Results showed that digestion alters chlorogenic acid and sesquiterpene lactones, enhancing chicory's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, with a notable increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity and metabolite activity post-digestion.
Article Synopsis
- The agricultural sector faces challenges in selecting the appropriate bio stimulant, which depends on various factors like crop type, climate, and farming practices; therefore, understanding the molecular interactions between bio stimulants and plants is crucial for effective application.* -
- The study analyzed the effects of AGRO-K®, a plant-based bio stimulant, on fiber flax (Linum usitatissimum) using NMR and LC-MS-based metabolomics to assess changes in metabolites related to root growth and resistance to lodging.* -
- Results indicated that AGRO-K® influenced metabolic pathways, specifically hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs), phenylpropanoids, and flavonoids, similarly to its effects in wheat, suggesting
Introduction: Bio stimulants are substances and/or microorganisms that are used to improve plant growth and crop yields by modulating physiological processes and metabolism of plants. While research has primarily focused on the broad effects of bio stimulants in crops, understanding their cellular and molecular influences in plants, using metabolomic analysis, could elucidate their effectiveness and offer possibilities for fine-tuning their application. One such bio stimulant containing galacturonic acid as elicitor is used in agriculture to improve wheat vigor and strengthen resistance to lodging.

This approach may enhance the effectiveness of mefloquine, a drug which can be used for malaria prophylaxis and treatment in children. Mefloquine hydrochloride's solubility was assessed in different buffer solutions, and its quantification was achieved through high-performance liquid chromatography.
