Quercetin as a therapeutic agent for skin problems: a systematic review and meta-analysis on antioxidant effects, oxidative stress, inflammation, wound healing, hyperpigmentation, aging, and skin cancer.

Quercetin is abundant in plants and has notable pharmacological properties for skin health. This review aims to comprehensively evaluate the effects of quercetin on skin-related issues, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines and analyzing studies from ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Of the 1,398 studies identified, 65 studies met the criteria for meta-analysis.

Antibacterial, bacteriolytic, and antibiofilm activities of the essential oil of temu giring ( Val.) against foodborne pathogens.

Foodborne pathogens may cause foodborne illness, which is among the major health problems worldwide. Since the therapeutic options for the treatment of the disease are becoming limited as a result of antibacterial resistance, there is an increasing interest to search for new alternatives of antibacterial. Bioactive essential oils from sp become potential sources of novel antibacterial substances.

Culturable endophytic fungal assemblages from and and their potential as antifungal, antioxidant, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory resources.

Benzoin resin, produced by the native Indonesian trees and , has been incorporated into medical practices to treat wounds, erythema, and many other conditions for centuries. Endophytic fungi that reside within medicinal plants have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory capacities, contributing to plant health and derivative products. In this study, we determined the antifungal, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory capacities of endophytic fungal isolates from three different tissues (leaves, bark, and stems) of and trees.

Optimized antibody immobilization on natural silica-based nanostructures for the selective detection of .

This study reports for the first time the surface modification of fluorescent nanoparticles derived from geothermal silica precipitate with () antibody. The immobilization of biomolecules on the inorganic surface has been carried out using two different pathways, namely the silanization and hydrosilylation reactions. The former applied (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) as the crosslinker, while the latter used -hydroxysuccinimide coupled with -ethyl-'-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC/NHS).

Magnetic Graphene-Based Nanosheets with Pluronic F127-Chitosan Biopolymers Encapsulated α-Mangosteen Drugs for Breast Cancer Cells Therapy.

In this study, multifunctional chitosan-pluronic F127 with magnetic reduced graphene oxide (MRGO) nanocomposites were developed through the immobilization of chitosan and an amphiphilic polymer (pluronic F127) onto the MRGO. Physicochemical characterizations and in-vitro cytotoxicity of nanocomposites were investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, particle size analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, Raman spectroscopy and resazurin-based in-vitro cytotoxicity assay. FESEM observation shows that the magnetic nanoparticles could tethered on the surface of MRGO, promoting the magnetic properties of the nanocomposites.

Antidiabetic Properties and Toxicological Assessment of Miq: Ethanolic Leaves Extract in Sprague-Dawley Rats.

is a genus of plants, and its several species are known to have antidiabetic properties. Leaves of Kayu Tuah ( Miq) have been proven to have the best -glucosidase inhibition ability compared to other species in the genus, as evidenced by the in vitro -glucosidase inhibition test. However, no scientific studies have reported its antidiabetic properties and toxicity in vivo.

An experimental design approach for the optimization of scopoletin extraction from Morinda citrifolia L. using accelerated solvent extraction.

Scopoletin is regarded as a major constituent of noni (Morinda citrifolia L), which contributes to the antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective properties in noni. It is also suggested as a marker for identification and quality control of noni and its derivative products. With the increasing interest in noni due to its health benefits and therapeutic effects, it is important to establish a reliable extraction and analysis method to determine scopoletin content in noni samples.

A synergy interaction of artocarpin and tetracycline against and its mechanism of action on membrane permeability.

The emergence of antibacterial resistance has significantly increased. is associated with nosocomial infection and difficult to control. Artocarpin, a flavonoid from Lam.

Rapid Fluorescence Quenching Detection of Using Natural Silica-Based Nanoparticles.

The development of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (SNP-RB) from natural amorphous silica and its performance as an () biosensor is described in this paper. SNP-RB was derived from silica recovered from geothermal installation precipitation and modified with the dye, Rhodamine B. The Fourier Infrared (FTIR) confirms the incorporation of Rhodamine B in the silica matrix.

Inhibitory effect of koji Aspergillus terreus on alpha-glucosidase activity and postprandial hyperglycemia.

The compounds that could inhibit the activity of a-glucosidase are potentially used for antidiabetic by suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia. This research aimed to investigate the hypoglycemic activity in A. terreus koji extracted by ethyl acetate.
