Using the Cocrystal Approach as a Promising Drug Delivery System to Enhance the Dissolution and Bioavailability of Formononetin Using an Imidazole Coformer.

Natural isoflavones are recognized for their diverse pharmacological activities; however, their low aqueous solubility presents a significant challenge for further development. Here, we aimed to develop a cocrystal of formononetin (FMN) to improve its solubility. The formononetin-imidazole (FMN-IMD) cocrystal was prepared using liquid-assisted grinding method.

Genetic Engineering and Genome Editing Advances to Enhance Floral Attributes in Ornamental Plants: An Update.

The ornamental horticulture industry is a highly dynamic and rapidly changing market. Constant development of novel cultivars with elite traits is essential to sustain competitiveness. Conventional breeding has been used to develop cultivars, which is often laborious.

Analysis of Floral Scent and Volatile Profiles of Different Species by E-nose and HS-SPME-GC-MS.

Plants from the species are known to be a rich source of bioactive chemical compositions and are popularly known for their medicinal properties. To investigate the relationship between the nine species of , the floral fragrance and volatile profile patterns were characterized using E-nose and HS-SPME-GC-MS. Initial optimization for fragrance analysis was performed with using E-nose by evaluating the scent patterns in different flowering stages.
