As constituents of Averrhoa bilimbi leaves we identified three new compounds (1-3) together with 12 known ones (4-15); their inhibitory activities on cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and 2D6 (CYP2D6) were examined. Among the isolated compounds, the mixture of 1 and 2, and compounds 4 and 9 showed strong inhibition on CYP3A4, but mild or no inhibition on CYP2D6. These compounds revealed the characteristics of 1) time- and concentration-dependent inhibition, 2) requirement of NADPH for the inhibition, 3) no protection by nucleophiles, and 4) suppression of the inhibition by competitive inhibitor. Thus, they are suggested to be mechanism-based inactivators of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. The kinetic parameters for the inactivation (k(inact) and K(I)) were 0.19 min(-1) and 36.7 μM for the mixture of 1 and 2, 0.126 min(-1) and 10.5 μM for 4, and 0.29 min(-1) and 23.4 μM for 9.

Obesity is a major health concern associated to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Brown adipocytes, which specialise in thermogenesis, offer a potential therapeutic target for obesity prevention and related conditions. This study builds on previous findings of the browning activity of Averrhoa bilimbi hexane fractions and aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro.

The flowers of distylous plants exhibit two distinct morphologies that facilitate precise pollen transfer. Averrhoa carambola, a woody plant characterized by distyly, has an unclear molecular regulatory mechanism underlying this trait. Its prolonged flowering period and substantial flower production render it an excellent model for investigating the distylous syndrome.

Chitosan-based films incorporated with green-synthesized TiO nanoparticles (CT) and Averrhoa carambola extract (CP) at different concentrations were fabricated and optimised based on enhanced tensile, moisture-gas barrier and retention capabilities of antioxidants. Chitosan incorporated with 0.06 % TiO NP and those incorporated with 6 % carambola extract exhibited optimal results, and developed films of the above two concentrations of the additives were blended into chitosan (CTP) for further analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the antioxidant properties of bioactive extracts from spores and branches, measuring total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and their ability to inhibit free radicals.
- The highest antioxidant activities were found in the ethyl acetate extract of spores and the hexane-ethyl acetate extract of branches, both showing strong DPPH inhibition rates.
- Additionally, the research identified several compounds, including a new natural compound, and highlighted one compound with particularly strong antioxidant activities, suggesting potential applications in natural product-based antioxidants.
