To study the chemical composition and their anti-inflammatory activities of honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.) roots, seventeen compounds were isolated from the roots of L. japonica Thunb. by various chromatography, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by MS, IR, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, as 1-oxo-(1H)-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran-7-carbaldehyde (1), 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (2), chlorogenic acid (3), loganin aglycone (4), caffeic acid (5), secologanin dimethyl acetal (6), korolkoside (7), coniferin (8), sweroside (9), secoxyloganin (10), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (11), chlorogenic acid methyl ester (12), chlorogenic acid ethyl ester (13), 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (14), 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (15), grandifloroside (16), and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (17). Among those, compound 1 is a new compound, and compound 8 is found in L. japonica for the first time. Compounds 1, 3, 14-17 showed significant anti-inflammatory activities against macrophage in zebrafish.

This study investigates the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties of Phlomis armeniaca, a perennial plant native to the eastern and southeastern regions of Türkiye. Ethanol extracts of the plant were analyzed using various bioanalytical methods, including Fe³⁺-Fe²⁺ reducing power, CUPRAC, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, as well as total phenolic and flavonoid content assessments. The results showed that Phlomis armeniaca is rich in phenolic (38.

Although the gluten-free market is expanding and offers a variety of products, there are still some deficiencies in the nutritional and sensory quality of these products. Therefore, this study explores the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds, nutritional quality, and textural properties of gluten-free muffins enriched with artichoke leaves and green lentil protein (GLP) isolate, two novel ingredients introduced together for the first time in this context. The incorporation of GLP isolate aims to enhance the protein content, while artichoke leaves are evaluated for its potential to improve phenolic content and antioxidant activity.
