Objective: To study the macroscopic, microscopic identification and chemical components of Cyperus rotundus growing in Wen-River area.
Methods: The features of different parts of Cyperus rotundus were described by material morphology and microscopic identification, the chemical components of aerial part and rhizome of Cyperus rotundus were studied by chemical experiment and GC-MS analysis.
Results: Summarized the transverse section structure of rhizome, stem and leaf of Cyperus rotundus, the chemical components of aerial part and the components and relative content of volatile oil in rhizome were determined.
Conclusion: This study provides reference for the drug identification and the daodi medicinal material exploitation of Cyperus rotundus.

Understanding the triacylglycerol-based carbon anabolic differentiation in Cyperus esculentus and Cyperus rotundus developing tubers via transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches.

Background: Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus, known as 'YouShaDou' in China, YSD) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus, known as 'XiangFuZi' in China, XFZ), closely related Cyperaceae species, exhibit significant differences in triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation within their tubers, a key factor in carbon flux repartitioning that highly impact the total lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolisms. Previous studies have attempted to elucidate the carbon anabolic discrepancies between these two species, however, a lack of comprehensive genome-wide annotation has hindered a detailed understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Results: This study utilizes transcriptomic analyses, supported by a comprehensive YSD reference genome, and metabolomic profiling to uncover the mechanisms underlying the major carbon perturbations between the developing tubers of YSD and XFZ germplasms harvested in Yunnan province, China, where the plant biodiveristy is renowned worldwide and may contain more genetic variations relative to their counterparts in other places.

Background: Paclitaxel is a widely used anticancer drug for ovarian, lung, breast, and stomach cancers; however, its clinical use is often limited by the side effects of peripheral neuropathy. This study evaluated the effects of () extract and its active metabolite, α-cyperone, on paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain.
Methods: The oral administration of extract at doses of 500 mg/kg and intraperitoneal administration of α-cyperone at doses of 480 and 800 μg/kg prevented both the development of cold and mechanical pain.
Berberine and Cyperus rotundus extract nanoformulations protect the rats against Staphylococcus-induced mastitis via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities: role of MAPK signaling.

Berberine (BER) and Cyperus rotundus rhizomes extract (CRE) are phytochemicals characterized by broad-spectrum pharmacological activity that could tackle the side effects of conventional mastitis therapies, however, they undergo a modest bioavailability. In the current study, nanoformulations of BER and CRE chitosan hydrogel (BER/CH-NPs, CRE/CH-NPs) were investigated for their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects against S. aureus-induced mastitis in a rat model.

Coffee beans contain compounds with allelopathic activity, such that some beans that do not meet quality standards might rather be used to obtain a natural herbicide which consequently might be employed to control undesired plants and avoid economic losses. Thus, the objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the allelopathic effect of different concentrations of green (GC) and roasted (RC) coffee extracts on the inhibition of germination and initial growth of L.
