The flower heads of Inula britannica L. of Bulgarian origin afforded sesquiterpene lactones (gaillardin, britannin, I1, 13-dihydroinuchinenolide B, ivalin, pulchellin C), triterpenoids (3-0-palmitates of 160-hydroxylupeol, 16β-hydroxy-β-amyrin, and faradiol) and flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin, luteolin-7-0- glucoside). All compounds are known and they were identified by spectral methods. The observed differences in the chemical content of the chloroform and methanol extracts were also reflected in their free radical scavenging activity, evaluated by DPPH and ABTS assays. Intraspecific variability of L britannica is discussed.

Objective: is a traditional Chinese medicinal and functional food with various effects such as anti-liver injury, hypoglycemia, antioxidants, and anti-tumor. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of the ethanolic extract of (EEIB) on alcohol-induced liver injury in mice.
Methods: Fifty-six female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups: control group (Con), ethanol feeding model group (EtOH), Silibinin positive treatment group (EtOH + Silibinin 100 mg/kg), EEIB treatment group (EtOH + EEIB 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg), and EEIB control group (EEIB 400 mg/kg).

The formation of microbial biofilm is a self-organizing process among bacterial cells, regulated by quorum-sensing (QS) mechanisms, contributing to development of infections. These processes, either separately or in combination, significantly contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants. A novel approach to addressing the challenge of treating infections due to antibacterial resistance involves the use of plant metabolites.
