Integrating Metabolomic Analysis, Network Pharmacology, and Molecular Docking to Underlying Pharmacological Mechanism and Ethnobotanical Rationalization for Diabetes Mellitus: Study on Medicinal Plant Fibraurea tinctoria Lour.

Introduction: Fibraurea tinctoria Lour. has long been used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes mellitus (DM). However, a comprehensive scientific understanding of its potential active compounds and underlying pharmacological mechanisms still needs to be unveiled.

Secretory structures and histochemistry of roots, stem, and leaves of medicinal plant Fibraurea tinctoria Lour.

Fibraurea tinctoria Lour. (Menispermaceae) is a medicinal plant used by many local tribes in Indonesia and other countries. This species has pharmacological potential, such as antimalaria, antibacterial, antitumor, antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and hepato-protector.

Plant-Derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications and Regenerative Therapy.

Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PDENs) comprise various bioactive biomolecules. As an alternative cell-free therapeutic approach, they have the potential to deliver nano-bioactive compounds to the human body, and thus lead to various anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor benefits. Moreover, it is known that Indonesia is one of the herbal centers of the world, with an abundance of unexplored sources of PDENs.

Drug candidates and potential targets of spp. compounds for treating diabetes mellitus based on network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation.

spp. is a herb that is commonly used in Indonesia to treat diabetes mellitus (DM) . The main active components of spp.

Effect of Medium pH and Light on Quinidine Production in Wedd. Endophytic Fungi.

Objectives: Quinidine has pharmaceutical importance as an antimalarial, antiarrhythmia, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, astringent, and bitter flavoring agent. Quinidine is in high demand, yet its production from the bark of the quina tree () is limited. Quinidine production from quina tree fungal endophytes, namely , sp.

Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis Using FTIR and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS of Two Species and Evaluation of their Antioxidant and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities.

and have been used as traditional medicines such as antidiabetic and anticancer. This study measured the total phenolics and flavonoid contents as well as analyzed the functional groups and chemical compounds using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS profiling for the discrimination of plant parts, geographical origin, and compounds that presumably have a significant contribution as antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitors on both plants. The total phenolics and flavonoids contents in species varied from 142.

A mitochondrial protein homologous to the mammalian peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor is essential for stress adaptation in plants.

The cloning of abiotic stress-inducible genes from the moss Physcomitrella patens led to the identification of the gene PpTSPO1, encoding a protein homologous to the mammalian mitochondrial peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor and the bacterial tryptophane-rich sensory protein. This class of proteins is involved in the transport of intermediates of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway. Like the mammalian homologue, the PpTSPO1 protein is localized to mitochondria.

Physcomitrella patens is highly tolerant against drought, salt and osmotic stress.

In order to determine the degree of tolerance of the moss Physcomitrella patens to different abiotic stress conditions, we examined its tolerance against salt, osmotic and dehydration stress. Compared to other plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, P. patens exhibits a high degree of abiotic stress tolerance, making it a valuable source for the identification of genes effecting the stress adaptation.
