Antioxidant and Protective Effects of the Polyphenolic Glycoconjugate from L. Herb in the Prevention of Inflammation in Human Cells.

Herein, structural and biological studies of a complex biopolymer (polyphenolic glycoconjugate) isolated from the flowering parts of L. () are presented. Spectroscopic analyses (UV-Vis and H NMR) of the aglycone component of confirmed that it consists mainly of aromatic and aliphatic structures characteristic of polyphenols.

Effectivity of polyphenolic polysaccharide-proteins isolated from medicinal plants as potential cellular immune response modulators.

Traditional medicinal herbs as and are recommended as a complementary supplementation for the treatment of diseases associated with immunological inflammation (e.g. common cold, coughs, bronchitis, upper respiratory infections, immunodeficiencies).

Chemical characteristics and significant antitussive effect of the Erigeron canadensis polyphenolic polysaccharide-protein complex.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Erigeron canadensis has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of respiratory diseases, including acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections and cough-related asthma. There is as yet no relevant experimental or clinical study in the scientific literature evaluating the efficacy of plants in these disorders.

Aim Of The Study: To investigate the active ingredients in Erigeron canadensis, a complex isolated from flowering parts of a plant was tested for airway defense reflexes, in particular for cough reflexes and airway reactivity.

Studying the "Rigid-Flexible" Properties of Polymeric Micelle Core-Forming Segments with a Hydrophobic Phthalocyanine Probe Using NMR and UV Spectroscopy.

The aim of the performed studies was to thoroughly examine the internal structure of self-assembled nanocarriers (i.e., polymeric micelles-PMs) by means of a hydrophobic phthalocyanine probe in order to identify the crucial features that are required to enhance the photoactive probe stability and reactivity.

Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Functional Food Fiber from Canadian Horseweed ( L.).

Much attention has been recently paid to the design of sustainable processes for the production of functional food additives based on renewable resources. Thus, methods for incorporation of green techniques in treatment of undeveloped biomass, resulting in value-added bioproducts, are in great demand. We focus here on the biological activity and chemical properties of (horseweed) functional food fiber, which can be strongly affected by the extraction procedure employed.
