The burden of neurological disorders is growing substantially with limited therapeutic options, urging the consideration and assessment of alternative strategies. In this regard, we aimed to elucidate the phytochemical profile of the petroleum ether extract (PEE) of three palm tree species: Burret, H. Wendl.

Psoriasis is an inflammatory immune-mediated skin disease that affects nearly 2-3 % of the global population. The current study aimed to develop safe and efficient anti-psoriatic nanoformulations from Artemisia monosperma essential oil (EO). EO was extracted using hydrodistillation (HD), microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD), and head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), as well as GC/ MS was used for its analysis.

Genus Quercus is a well-known source for its polyphenolic content and important biological activity. Plants belonging to the Quercus genus were traditionally used in asthma, inflammatory diseases, wound healing, acute diarrhea, and hemorrhoid. Our work intended to study the polyphenolic profile of the Q.

Aims: Cisplatin, a widely used anticancer treatment, has a marked nephrotoxic effect. This nephrotoxic effect is linked to the triggering of oxidative stress, inflammation, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway as well as apoptosis. The purpose of the present research was to examine the possible ameliorative effect of liraglutide and/or rabeprazole on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and to underline the potential molecular pathways involved.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Melaleuca species have been used by many ethnic communities for the management and treatment of several ailments as hemorrhoids, cough, skin infections, rheumatism, sore throat, pain, inflammation, and digestive system malfunctions. However, the detailed mechanistic pharmacological effect of Melaleuca rugulosa (Link) Craven leaves in the management of liver inflammation has not been yet addressed.

Aim Of The Study: The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic capacities of the aqueous methanol extract of M.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the cardioprotective effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on myocardial infarction induced by isoproterenol (ISO), showing significant improvements in heart function and reduction of cardiac injury markers after EP treatment.
  • EP pre-treatment led to lower oxidative stress levels and decreased inflammation, evidenced by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory markers like TNF-α and IL-6.
  • Additionally, EP was found to decrease apoptotic signals and necroptotic mediators, suggesting that it protects the heart not just by reducing inflammation but also by influencing critical cell death pathways.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The genus Callistemon (syn. Melaleuca) of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) has been documented as an integral part in the ethnobotanical system of the indigenous people of Australian mainland and many of its islands. Several Callistemons including the species subulatus were used by aboriginal Australians for making rafts, roofs for shelters, bandages, and food recipes, in addition to the management of wounds, infections, pain, cough, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders.
