The decoction of the whole plant of is used ethno medicinally by various tribes for the treatment of kidney stones and urinary problems. However, no scientific studies were carried out to delineate its influence on urinary stone formation and crystallisation. Hence, the present study is proposed to investigate the effect of the aqueous extract of extract on crystallisation of calcium oxalate.

Article Synopsis
  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health issue that renders conventional antimicrobial agents ineffective, necessitating new treatments and global cooperation to address it.
  • The study highlights the potential of plant metabolites (like terpenes and alkaloids) for their antibacterial and antifungal properties, which target microbial functions and can work alongside traditional antibiotics.
  • The review underscores the need for ongoing research into pharmacological therapies and the therapeutic promise of plant-derived compounds in combating AMR.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that play a role in chromatin remodeling and epigenetics. They belong to a specific category of enzymes that eliminate the acetyl part of the histones' -N-acetyl lysine, causing the histones to be wrapped compactly around DNA. Numerous biological processes rely on HDACs, including cell proliferation and differentiation, angiogenesis, metastasis, gene regulation, and transcription.

The present study aimed to investigate huperzine A as an anti-Alzheimer agent based on the principle that a single compound can regulate multiple proteins and associated pathways, using system biology tools. The simplified molecular-input line-entry system of huperzine A was retrieved from the PubChem database, and its targets were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction. These targets were matched with the proteins deposited in DisGeNET for Alzheimer disease and enriched in STRING to identify the probably regulated pathways, cellular components, biological processes, and molecular function.

Background: Canarium patentinervium leaves are used by the local indigenous people of Malaysia for wound healing. The current study is undertaken to screen the comprehensive antibacterial activity of the leaves and barks extracts, fractions and isolated compounds from this plant. Bioassay guided fractionation was also undertaken to deeply evaluate the antibacterial activity of the water fraction of the leaves extract.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers isolated several compounds from the leaves of Canarium patentinervium Miq. through a bioassay guided fractionation process.
  • All isolated compounds showed antiacetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, with syringic acid demonstrating the strongest inhibition.
  • The compounds also exhibited moderate antileishmanial activity, indicating that Canarium patentinervium could be a promising source for developing treatments for neurodegenerative and parasitic diseases.
