Five pregnane C21-steroids, including three 5,6-epoxy steroids (1-3) and two 8,14-seco-steroids (4 and 5), were isolated from the acid hydrolysate of Cynanchum bungei roots. Cynbungenins L-O (1-4) are previously undescribed compounds. Compound 3 with a 5a,6a-epoxy group represents the first example found in the Cynanchum plants.

Background: Yoghurt, a fermented dairy product consumed by diverse cultures for centuries, has garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to its potential health benefits and remarkable versatility. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of pre-treatment with pasteurized yoghurt in indomethacin induced gastric ulceration.
Method: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups.

Cinnamic acid (CA) possesses important cardiovascular effects such as cardioprotective, antiatherogenic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant, which predicts its potential role in the treatment of hypertension. The study was executed to investigate the antihypertensive potential of CA in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats followed by evaluation in diverse vascular preparations. Invasive blood pressure monitoring technique was used in normotensive and hypertensive rats, under anesthesia.

Glioblastoma, with a low survival rate, is an aggressive and difficult-to-treat lethal type of brain cancer. Indomethacin (IND), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has antitumoral activity in many cancers, including gliomas. However, its poor aqueous solubility is a critical issue.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).
