The chemical constituents from lipophilic parts in the roots of Angelica dahurica var. formosana cv. Chuanbaizhi were studied in this paper. The compounds were separated and purified by repeated column chromatographic methods on silica gel and HPLC, and the chemical structures of compounds were determined by spectral data analyses. Twenty-nine compounds were obtained and identified as isoimperatorin (1), β-sitosterol (2), imperatorin (3), bergapten (4), osthenol (5), xanthotoxin (6), isoimpinellin (7), dehydrogeijerin (8), phellopterin (9), isodemethylfuropinarine (10), 7-demethylsuberosin (11), alloimperatorin (12), xanthotoxol (13), isooxypeucedanin (14), alloisoimperatorin (15), demethylfuropinarine (16), 5-hydroxy-8-methoxypsoralen (17), oxypeucedanin methanolate (18), pabulenol (19), byakangelicin (20), marmesin (21), (+) -decursinol (22), heraclenol (23), oxypeucedanin hydrate (24), marmesinin (25), ulopterol (26), erythro-guaiacylglycerol-β-ferulic acid ether (27), threo-guaiacylglycerol-β-ferulic acid ether (28), and uracil (29). Compounds 5, 8, 11, 18, 21-23, and 26-28 were obtained from the roots of title plant for the first time.

Antibacterial efficacy of berry juices against Bacillus cereus relative to their phytochemical composition and antioxidant properties.

Sci Rep

November 2024

Institute of Food Technology and Analysis, Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Lodz University of Technology, 2/22 Bohdana Stefanowskiego, 90-537, Lodz, Poland.

Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on using natural preservatives from berry juices to keep minimally processed foods safe and stable.
  • The study tested juices from four berry species against the food pathogen Bacillus cereus, finding that chokeberry had the strongest antibacterial effect, while elderberry showed no inhibition.
  • It suggests that the juice's effectiveness is linked to its antioxidant properties rather than just acidity or anthocyanin levels, enhancing our understanding of using berry extracts as biopreservatives.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers screened and prepared acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors from the plant Evodia rutaecarpa, focusing on three key alkaloids: dehydroevodiamine, evodiamine, and rutecarpine.
  • They improved extraction methods by combining traditional response surface methodology with a genetic algorithm, and utilized high-speed countercurrent chromatography to isolate these active compounds.
  • The study confirmed the structures of these compounds through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and validated their neuroprotective properties against cell damage, setting the stage for future development of AChE inhibitors.

The Role of GABA Receptors in Anesthesia and Sedation: An Updated Review.

CNS Drugs

January 2025

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) receptors are constituents of many inhibitory synapses within the central nervous system. They are formed by 5 subunits out of 19 various subunits: α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, θ, π, and ρ1-3. Two main subtypes of GABA receptors have been identified, namely GABAA and GABAB.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cannabis sativa contains over 120 phytocannabinoids, with Δ-THC and CBD being the most recognized, but many lesser-known compounds are showing potential in affecting health through interactions with the endocannabinoid system.
  • - These compounds can cross the blood-brain barrier and have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuro-modulatory properties that might help in treating neurodegenerative diseases.
  • - While Δ-THC has been studied for its neuroprotective effects, there is increasing interest in non-psychotropic minor phytocannabinoids, which could offer therapeutic benefits for brain disorders and deserve more research.
