Quantitative Determination of the Cytotoxic Compounds in Different Organs of (Hill) Bernh. by LC-HRESIMS Using Respond Survey Methodology.

(Hill) Bernh., commonly known as "Burdock", is a species within the genus of the Asteraceae family. Determining the optimum extraction conditions to obtain a concentrated extract with targeted active ingredients guides the most efficient use of natural products.

Emodin and aloe-emodin, two potential molecules in regulating cell migration of skin cells through the MAP kinase pathway and affecting Caenorhabditis elegans thermotolerance.

Background: Emodin and aloe-emodin are two anthraquinones having positive effects in wound healing. However, their mechanism of action of wound healing is not fully understood. The MAP kinase family, which plays an active role in wound healing, is a well-characterized large family of serine/threonine kinases and regulates processes such as proliferation, oncogenesis, differentiation, and inflammation in the cell.

A review of the currently developed analytical methods for the determination of biogenic amines in food products.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are group of substances that are formed from amino acids by decarboxylation or amination and transamination of aldehydes and ketones. They may have either aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic structure. Their quantity determines their effects, optimum amounts are essential for physiological functions, but excess of BAs causes various toxic effects through out human body.
