Two new flavan derivatives tazettones C-D (1-2), one new β-coumaranone (tazettone E, 3), one new flavan (tazettone F, 4), and one new phenylpropanoid (tazettone G, 5), together with six known flavonoids (6-11), were isolated from the bulbs of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis Roem. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. In addition, the structures of 1-3 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All isolated compounds were tested for antioxidant activity by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Compounds 6-8 and 10-11 exhibited potent antioxidant activity against H2O2-induced impairment in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells at tested concentrations.

Plant alkaloids are used in a variety of medicines, such as anti-cancer drugs and analgesics. Among these plant alkaloids, galanthamine is an Amaryllidaceae type alkaloid with acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity used in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Although the chemical synthesis of galanthamine has been successfully achieved, is the main source of its production.

Article Synopsis
- Three new alkaloids and sixteen known alkaloids were identified from the bulbs of Narcissus tazetta subsp. chinensis, with their structures determined using various spectroscopic methods.
- Eleven of these alkaloids were found to have immunosuppressive effects on human T cell proliferation, with (+)-narciclasine showing the strongest activity at an IC value of 14 ± 5 nM.
- In lab studies, (+)-narciclasine inhibited NF-κB signaling but didn’t affect PI3K/AKT signaling, and it also reduced liver damage in a mouse model of autoimmune hepatitis.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on var. chinensis, a plant known for its pharmaceutical and ornamental uses, by analyzing primary and secondary metabolites in different in vitro tissues (callus, adventitious roots, and shoots) using advanced chromatography techniques.
- The researchers optimized in vitro culture methods using hormonal treatments on bulbs to promote growth and metabolite production, with specific concentrations found to be most effective.
- Results indicated that shoots and roots cultivated in a particular nutrient medium yielded the highest levels of metabolites, suggesting that this method could be beneficial for mass-producing valuable compounds from the plant.

Essential oils are natural plant products that are very interesting, as they are important sources of biologically active compounds. They comprise eco-friendly alternatives to mosquito vector management, particularly essential oil nanoemulsion. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 16 selected essential oils (1500 ppm) in controlling mosquitoes by investigating their larvicidal effects against the larvae and adults of the West Nile virus vector L.
