Background: Reliable treatment approaches for addressing early cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are currently lacking. Given the multifactorial nature of AD, therapeutic strategies need to focus on disease-specific biochemical pathways. Given the significance of metabolic pathways in cognitive impairment, it is essential to investigate alternative disease modifiers capable of targeting multiple metabolic pathways, such as phytochemicals.

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

Nonylphenol (NP) is a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disrupting chemical and oxidative stress inducer in biological systems. Resveratrol (RES) and Naringenin (NG) are phytochemicals possessing antioxidant properties and estrogenic activity. This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity of NP and the mitigating effects of RES and NG on NP toxicity in rats.

Objectives: To investigate the phytochemical composition of Ajwa date extract and evaluate its antiviral activity and mechanism of action.
Methods: High perfomance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to analyze the phytochemical profile of Ajwa date extract. The antiviral activity was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay against herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and coxsackievirus B4 (CVB-4).

The dried capitulum of chrysanthemums is a traditional material in scented tea, and the kill-green process is a critical step in determining their quality. However, the changes in the physicochemical properties during kill-green and the mechanisms by which these changes affect drying characteristics, metabolic components, and aroma profiles remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in water status, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, and microstructure during high-humidity air impingement kill-green (HHAIK) and steam kill-green (SK), and their effects on drying behavior, color, phytochemicals, and volatile profile of dried chrysanthemums.
