Two new triterpenes named 7-oxodihydrokarounitriol (1) and 7,11-dioxodihydrokarounidiol (2), and one known triterpene, 7-oxodihydrokarounidiol (3), were isolated from the unsaponifiable matter of the seeds of Trichosanthes cucumeroides. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as (3alpha, 11beta, 13alpha, 14beta, 20alpha)-3,11,29-trihydroxy-13-methyl-26-norolean-8-ene-7-one, and (3alpha,13alpha,14beta,20alpha)-3,29-dihydroxy-13-methyl-26-norolean-8-ene-7,11-dione on the basis of extensive NMR (1H, 13C, 1H-1H COSY, DEPT, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY) and MS studies.

Cervical cancer remains a significant health challenge in developing countries are high due to low HPV vaccination rates, delayed diagnosis, and restricted healthcare access. Metal nanomaterials, such as copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs), have shown significant promise in cancer therapy due to their ability to induce apoptosis. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) enhances the cytotoxic effect against cervical cancer, working synergistically with CuO NPs to maximize the therapeutic impact while potentially reducing the 5-Fu's systemic side effects.

Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) can accelerate amyloid β (Aβ) aggregation and tau protein hyperphosphorylation in neuron cells, which further leads to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, there is an urgent need to find natural and safe antioxidants for preventing or treating such neurodegenerative diseases. The seeds of Maxim and Hayata have long been used for medicinal and edible purposes in China.

In the present study, we hypothesised that Trichosanthes kirilowii seed protein isolate (TPI) obtained by different extraction methods have distinct structure, functional attributes and volatile profiles. Alkaline-extracted isolate (AE-TPI) exhibited lower protein content and a darker colour than the other two isolates because more polyphenols and pigments were coextracted. Salt-extracted isolate (SE-TPI) and AE-TPI had higher in vitro protein digestibility than reverse micelle-extracted isolate (RME-TPI) due to higher degrees of denaturation, which enabled them to be more susceptible to proteolysis.
