Background: (Rhamnaceae) fruits are popularly used as herbal medicines or dietary supplements in Asian countries due to functions such as liver protection and detoxification from alcohol poisoning. Accordingly, it is very likely for dietary supplemental products, including fruit extracts, to be taken with prescription drugs.
Objective: In this study, possible food-drug interactions involving fruit extracts were evaluated based on the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity.
Material And Methods: The water extract of fruit extracts was incubated in human liver microsomes with CYP-specific substrates. The formation of the CYP-specific metabolites was measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Results: fruit extracts showed negligible effects on seven CYP isozyme activities at all concentrations tested.
Conclusion: This result suggests that fruit extracts may have minimal pharmacokinetic interactions with coadministered drugs through the modulation of CYP enzymes.
Summary: Food-drug interactions involving fruit extracts were evaluated.The inhibition of CYPs by extracts was tested. extracts showed negligible effects on CYP activities. extracts may have minimal pharmacokinetic interactions with co-administered drugs. CYP: cytochrome P450 enzymes, HPLC: High performance liquid chromatography, LC-MS/MS : liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, MRM: multiple-reaction monitoring.

Biostimulants are an emerging and innovative class of products that may mitigate the adverse effects of extreme heat, but research on their efficacy in fruit crops is limited. This study addressed this knowledge gap by evaluating the performance of three biostimulants, FRUIT ARMOR™, Optysil®, and KelpXpress™ [active ingredients glycine betaine, silicon, and kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract, respectively] applied to three raspberry genotypes exposed to high temperatures (T ≥ 35 °C/day) inside a glasshouse. 'Meeker' consistently maintained high chlorophyll fluorescence (F/F) and photosynthesis under control and biostimulant treatments.

Background: Bacillus species produce antimicrobial lipopeptides (LPs) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induces resistance in harvested fruits against postharvest pathogens. However, there is limited evidence of the combined efficacy of Bacillus LPs and MeJA to suppress postharvest diseases.
Results: This study presents the combined effect of Bacillus LPs and MeJA to suppress P.
