Objective: To study the effect of different host plants on the volatile somponents in Taxillus sutchuenensis.
Methods: Volatile oils of T. sutchuenensis from two different hosts (Magnolia denudata and Camellia oleifera) were obtained by steam distillation. The chemical constituents and relative contents of the volatile oils were analyzed by GC-MS.
Results: There were some similarities of volatile constituents between T. sutchuenensis and the corresponding host plants while the volatile components of T. sutchuenensis isolated from different host plants were not the same.
Conclusion: Host plants have effect on volatile constituents of T. sutchuenensis apparently.

Evidence suggests that a healthy gut microbiome is essential for metabolizing dietary phytochemicals. However, the microbiome's role in metabolite production and the influence of gut dysbiosis on this process remain unclear. Further, studies on the relationship among gut microbes, metabolites, and biological activities of phytochemicals are limited.

The emergence and re-emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) infectious diseases have once again posed a significant global health challenge, largely attributed to the development of bacterial resistance to conventional anti-microbial treatments. To mitigate the risk of drug resistance globally, both antibiotics and immunotherapy are essential. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also referred to as host defense peptides (HDPs), present a promising therapeutic alternative for treating drug-resistant infections due to their various mechanisms of action, which encompass antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects.

Background Chronic periodontitis is primarily caused by various bacterial species present in the plaque biofilm, which trigger a host inflammatory response. This leads to the abnormal release of inflammatory mediators such as proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α), which are free radicals that cause alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. (bitter gourd) is a widely used medicinal plant for the treatment of numerous diseases such as skin infections, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and carcinomas for several decades.
