- A new aliphatic ester of hydroxysalicylic acid has been discovered for the first time in a natural source, along with five previously identified compounds isolated from a fermented L. preparation, a type of functional food.
- The known compounds identified include 5-hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde, caffeic acid, butylparaben, lycopene, and benzyl isothiocyanate.
- The newly identified ester demonstrated moderate antioxidant properties and strong potential for stimulating hair growth.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of fermented papaya preparation (FPP) on cancer development in mice and immune response in human cells, highlighting its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
- - Mice injected with cancer cells showed reduced tumor size and lower cancer occurrence when treated with FPP, while human immune cells produced increased levels of certain cytokines after FPP treatment.
- - FPP also inhibited the growth of a specific type of immune cell (Foxp3-expressing regulatory T cells), indicating its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent.
