Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the Tibetan medicine Caryopteris toroetii.
Method: The crude drug was extracted with 95% EtOH and isolated by repeatedly chromatographic methods. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by spectral analysis.
Result: Six compounds were yielded and identified as: phenethyl cinnamide (1), 1-hydroxy-2, 3, 4, 5-tetramethoxy-xanthone (2), 1-hydroxy-2, 3, 5-trimethoxy-xanthone (3), (2S)-5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (4), 2', 4'-dihydroxydihydrochalcone (5) and rutin (6).
Conclusion: All the above compounds were obtained from C. toroetii for the first time.

Construction materials are significantly exposed to ecological hazards due to the presence of hazardous chemical constituents found in industrial and agricultural solid wastes. This study aims to investigate the use of sawdust particles (SDPs) and sawdust wastewater (SDW) in alkali-activated composites (AACs) made from a mixture of different silicon-aluminum-based solid wastes (slag powder-SP, red mud-RM, fly ash-FA, and carbide slag-CS). The study examines the impact of SDP content, treated duration of SDPs, and SDW content on both fresh and hardened properties of the AACs, including electrical conductivity, fluidity, density, flexural and compressive strengths, and drying shrinkage.

Vacancies are crucial for the radiation resistance, strength, and ductility of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, complex electronic interactions resulting from chemical disorder prohibit the quantification of vacancy formation energy () and migration barriers (). Herein, we propose an electronic descriptor χ (electronegativity χ and valence-electron number ) to quantify the bonding strength of constituents on the basis of the tight-binding model, which allows us to build analytical models to achieve the site-to-site quantification of and .

The Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI) provides details about these detoxification (known as "sodhana") processes as per traditional procedures. This research endeavor aimed to uncover the fundamental principles underlying the detoxification approach applied to , commonly referred to as "swet chitrak", in which plumbagin is the primary toxic constituent.

Medicinal plants often harbour various endophytic actinomycetia, which are well known for their potent antimicrobial properties and plant growth-promoting traits. In this study, we isolated an endophytic actinomycetia, A13, from the leaves of tea clone P312 from the MEG Tea Estate, Meghalaya, India. The isolate A13 was identified as Streptomyces sp.
