Phytochemical examination of the peel of grapefruit resulted in the isolation of five compounds namely friedelin, beta -sitosterol, 7(3',7',11',14'-tetramethy)pentadec-2',6',10'-trienyloxycoumarin, limonin and cordialin B. These compounds have been characterized on the basis of spectral data, and 7(3',7',11',14'-tetramethy)pentadec-2',6',10'-trienyloxycoumarin is a hitherto unreported compound.

Furanocoumarins (FCs) are plant defence compounds derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway via the coumarin umbelliferone that harbour some therapeutic benefits yet are the underlying cause of 'grapefruit-drug interactions' in humans. Most of the pathway genes have not been identified in citrus. We employed a genetic/Omics approach on citrus ancestral species and F1 populations of mandarin × grapefruit and mandarin × pummelo.

Toxoplasmosis induced by Toxoplasma gondii is a well-known health threat, that prompts fatal encephalitis increased with immunocompromised patients, in addition, it can cause chorioretinitis, microcephaly, stillbirth in the fetus and even led to death. Standard therapy uses sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine drugs revealed beneficial results during the acute stage, however, it has severe side effects. UPLC-ESI-MS/MS used to explore C.

Objective: The incidence of splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is reported to be <25 times lower than that of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, which occur in 70 to 270/100,000 cases in the general population. Current guidelines recommend initial treatment with therapeutic low-molecular-weight heparin followed by a transition to a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) in patients with cirrhosis who develop SVT without severe liver dysfunction. This, however, is based on observational data.

Article Synopsis
- * The study created a detailed variation atlas from 299 citrus types, identifying nearly 20,000 significant genetic variations linked to different metabolites, especially focusing on flavonoids and their production pathways.
- * The research evaluated the health benefits of 219 citrus varieties, finding strong links between specific metabolites and their antioxidant and anticancer properties, which can guide the breeding of healthier citrus cultivars.
