Metabolic diseases are increasing at staggering rates globally. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα/γ/δ) are fatty acid sensors that help mitigate imbalances between energy uptake and utilization. Herein, we report compounds derived from phenolic lipids present in cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), an abundant waste byproduct, in an effort to create effective, accessible, and sustainable drugs.

- Aspidosperma pyrifolium has potential therapeutic effects against Parkinson's disease, focusing on its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties using the APSE-Aq fraction.
- In a study using male Wistar rats, APSE-Aq treatment improved behavioral changes and reversed harmful biochemical markers related to dopamine levels and inflammation after neurotoxic injury.
- These findings suggest that APSE-Aq could be beneficial in Parkinson's treatment due to its chemical relation to salicylic acid.
Violacein is an indole compound, produced by , a bacteria present in tropical and subtropical areas. Among its numerous biological activities, its antimicrobial potential stands out. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial activity of VIO on in planktonic culture and biofilms.
