Two new aminocaprophenone alkaloids, ficuseptamines A (1) and B (2), and a new pyrrolidine alkaloid, ficuseptamine C (3), together with 12 known alkaloids and a known acetophenone derivative were isolated from a methanolic extract of the leaves of Ficus septica. The structures of 1-3 were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data. The compounds obtained were evaluated for cytotoxicity against two cancer cell lines.

is a plant belonging to the Moraceae family. This study aimed to profile the functional groups using FTIR, as well as nutritional, elements using ICP-MS technique, and anti-nutritional analyses of leaves. The results of nutritional analysis of leaves revealed that the leaves had a diverse proximate composition with derived nutritional value to be 314.

Light serves as the unique driving force of photosynthesis in plants, yet its intensity varies over time and space, leading to corresponding changes in the photosynthetic rate. Here, the photosynthetic induction response under constant and fluctuating light was examined in naturally occurring saplings of four sun-demanding woody species, . L.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can induce serious adverse effects in gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa, increasing intestinal permeability and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation. As proton pump inhibitors are effective in protecting against NSAID-induced gastropathy but not NSAID-induced enteropathy, current research is focused on natural products as protective substances for therapy and prevention of intestinal injury. Herein, through the use of an in vitro model based on intestinal epithelial cell (Caco-2) damage caused by indomethacin (INDO), we examined the protective activity of a commercially available standardized extract (OFI+OE) from (L.
