Metabolite profiling of (family: Polyporaceae) had been much advancement in recent days, and its analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become well established. However, the highly important trait of still needs advanced protocols despite some standardization. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used as the multivariate statistical analysis of the H NMR data set. The PLS-DA model was validated, and the key metabolites contributing to the separation in the score plots of different ethanol extract. H NMR spectroscopy of identified 33 chemically diverse metabolites in DO, consisting of 13 amino acids, 11 organic acids 2 sugars, 3 sugar alcohols, 1 nucleoside, and 3 others. Among these metabolites, the levels of tyrosine, proline, methionine, sarcosine, choline, acetoacetate, citrate, 4-aminobutyrate, aspartate, maltose, malate, lysine, xylitol, lactate threonine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, uridine, guanidoacetate, arabitol, mannitol, glucose, and betaine were increased in the 95% ethanol extraction sample compared with the levels in other samples, whereas level of acetate, phenylalanine, alanine, succinate, and fumarate were significantly increased in the 0% ethanol extraction sample. A biological triterpenoid, namely pachymic acid, was detected from different ethanol extract using H-NMR spectra were found in CDCl. This is the first report to perform the metabolomics profiling of different ethanol extract. These researches suggest that can be used to obtain substantial amounts of bioactive ingredients for use as potential pharmacological and nutraceuticals agents.

Background: Chronic, excessive alcohol consumption causes neurodegeneration and is associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Moreover, there has been a consistent rise in alcohol consumption in older adults in the past few decades. However, there is minimal research showing how alcohol consumption affects AD neuropathogenesis and biological mechanisms remain unclear.

Antimicrobial resistance poses a global public health threat, compelling the search for alternative treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. The increasing ineffectiveness of traditional antibiotics has intensified the need to explore medicinal plants as viable therapeutic options. This study sought to compare the efficacy of certain medicinal plants used in Owerri, Nigeria, for treating pathogenic bacteria against traditional commercial antibiotics.

The brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) is a major insect pest of Oryza sativa that causes crop yield loss in tropical regions, including Thailand. In this study, the crude ethanolic extract of the leaves and branches of Combretum trifoliatum , its active isolated components, apigenin and camphor, and Finopril were tested for their ability to control the first to fifth instars of N. lugens.
