The Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of the Methanolic Extract, Fractions, and Isolated Compounds from Baker f. (Fabaceae).

Inflammation is a natural body's defense mechanism against harmful stimuli such as pathogens, chemicals, or irradiation. But when the inflammatory response becomes permanent, it can lead to serious health problems. In the present study, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of the methanolic extract (EMME), as well as its isolated fractions (FA-FJ) and compounds (-), were evaluated by using in vitro and cellular models.

Cytotoxic potential of dihydrochalcones from and their semi-synthetic derivatives.

In the search of cytotoxic dihydrochalcones, this investigation led to the isolation of seven compounds (-) from and the preparation of eight derivatives (-). The cytotoxicity of samples was evaluated against lung (A549), breast (MCF-7), and cervical (HeLa) human cancer cells. The CHCl/MeOH extract of the aerial part had strong cytotoxicity against all cells [IC 11.
