This article presents the isolation, quantification and antioxidant evaluation of bioactive principles from Epimedium elatum. LC-MS guided isolation technique was applied for the separation of target constituents. Three isolates; magnoflorine, chrysin and dibenzylideneacetone (DBA) were isolated for the first time from E. elatum using LC-MS guided isolation method. Nine natural products, viz. icariin, epimedoside A, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, ikarisoside C, baohuoside II, magnoflorine and chrysin were simultaneously quantified by reverse phase HPLC-UV-DAD method. The HPLC method was validated in terms of precision and accuracy. Excellent specificity and linearity within test ranges for all standard calibration curves having regression coefficient of different linear equations in the range of 0.9966-0.9999 were observed. Relative recovery rates varied between 98.09±0.44 and 105.34±1.89% with relative standard deviation of less than 3%. This modified HPLC method is in accordance with yinyanghuo. All the 10 isolated constituents were screened for DPPH radical scavenging activity. Dibenzylideneacetone (DBA) turned out to be the most potent isolate with IC(50) of 4.32 μM.

In-house reference materials (ihRM) are an alternative to the limited supply of reference materials for method validation and assurance of the validity of pesticide residue results. Currently, limited information exists on producing ihRM of pesticide residues in food for laboratory testing purposes for the desired matrix/analyte/concentration combination. This study aimed to develop in-house reference materials for three food matrices: banana, rice, and green coffee spiked with a total of 22 pesticides, which were selected for their relevance in food matrices, with pK values ranging from -0.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark feature of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. This has impeded the development of effective therapies, particularly for peripheral artery disease. FK506-binding protein like (FKBPL) and its therapeutic peptide mimetic, AD-01, are crucial negative regulators of angiogenesis, however their roles in CVD are unknown.

Peptidoglycan (PG) serves as an essential target for antimicrobial development. An overlooked reservoir of antimicrobials lies in the form of PG-hydrolyzing enzymes naturally produced for polymicrobial competition, particularly those associated with the type VI secretion system (T6SS). Here, we report that a T6SS effector TseP, from , represents a family of effectors with dual amidase-lysozyme activities.

Plant specialized metabolites play key roles in diverse physiological processes and ecological interactions. Identifying structurally novel metabolites, as well as discovering known compounds in new species, is often crucial for answering broader biological questions. The Piper genus (Piperaceae family) is known for its special phytochemistry and has been extensively studied over the past decades.
