Five constituents including one new pentacyclic triterpenoid guajanoic acid (1) and four known compounds beta-sitosterol (2), uvaol (3), oleanolic acid (4), and ursolic acid (5) have been isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava. The new constituent 1 has been characterized as 3beta-p-E-coumaroyloxy-2alpha-methoxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid through 2D NMR techniques and chemical transformations. This is the first report of isolation of compound 3 from the genus Psidium.

This study explores an eco-friendly approach to mitigate risks associated with organophosphorus insecticides, particularly Chlorpyrifos, by synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Psidium guajava leaf extract and preparing a nanocomposite (AgNPs/S18) with Chlorpyrifos pesticide. The green-synthesized AgNPs and AgNPs/S18 nanocomposite were characterized using various analytical techniques, confirming the successful synthesis of AgNPs with an average size of 37 nm and forming a stable nanocomposite. Antibacterial assays demonstrated significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with AgNPs showing an 87.

The utilization of zein and gum arabic has grown in an attempt to formulate wall materials based on protein-polysaccharide complexes. This mixture provides a versatile delivery system for hydrophilic (guava leaf extract, GLE) or lipophilic (fish oil, FO) bioactive compounds, and it can be used as an edible film-forming polymer. This study was undertaken to characterize FO-containing edible films that were double-layered with a film containing GLE.

Objectives: High sodium intake is a major risk factor for hypertension and renal diseases. Previous studies have shown that a suspension of ethanolic extract of Psidium guajava (guava) leaves (PsE) has antihypertensive effects in rats on a high-sodium diet (HSD), but some mechanisms to that remain unexplored. This study explored whether oral PsE treatment affects sodium handling by the intestine and alters the gut microbiome in HSD-fed rats.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a sustainable fertilizer by synthesizing a chitosan-benzaldehyde Schiff base xerogel with green synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) derived from Psidium guajava leaves.
- The resulting urea-loaded nanocomposite xerogel (CsB@U/CeO) demonstrated extended water retention and a controlled release of urea over 30 days, enhancing cabbage growth compared to traditional fertilizers.
- Cabbages treated with CsB@U/CeO showed improved growth parameters and increased content of beneficial compounds like phenolics, proteins, sugars, and flavonoids, suggesting its potential as a viable alternative to conventional urea fertilizers.
