Mitigating aluminum chloride-induced toxicity in with peptide fractions from species.

This study assessed the antioxidative and protective effects of peptide extracts from selected species on Aluminum Chloride (AlCl)-induced toxicity in (EHU), (EHI), and (EHG) were screened for bioactive peptides. The crude peptide extract and partially purified peptide fractions of all the plants were subjected to preliminary antioxidants activities through 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhyhdrazyl (DPPH), and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activities. The most active peptide fraction was subjected to biochemical studies using Flies were treated with AlCl (100 mg/kg diet), peptide fraction (5 and 10 mg/kg diet), and cotreatment of AlCl and the fraction, respectively.

Isolation and Characterization of Cytotoxic Compounds from Guill. and Perr. Stem Bark.

Introduction: Globally, about 8.2 million cancer-related deaths are recorded annually. Sadly, most of the deaths result from the toxicity of most chemotherapeutic agents.

Forgotten Gems: Exploring the Untapped Benefits of Underutilized Legumes in Agriculture, Nutrition, and Environmental Sustainability.

In an era dominated by conventional agricultural practices, underutilized legumes termed "Forgotten Gems" represent a reservoir of untapped benefits with the unique opportunity to diversify agricultural landscapes and enhance global food systems. Underutilized crops are resistant to abiotic environmental conditions such as drought and adapt better to harsh soil and climatic conditions. Underutilized legumes are high in protein and secondary metabolites, highlighting their role in providing critical nutrients and correcting nutritional inadequacies.

Nutritional and pharmacological potentials of orphan legumes: Subfamily faboideae.

Legumes are a major food crop in many developing nations. However, orphan or underutilized legumes are domesticated legumes that have valuable properties but are less significant than main legumes due to use and supply restrictions. Compared to other major legumes, they are better suited to harsh soil and climate conditions, and their great tolerance to abiotic environmental circumstances like drought can help to lessen the strains brought on by climate change.
