Article Abstract
We studied the molluscicidal activity of Chimonanthus nitens extracts on Pomacea canaliculata (Ampullariidae). The degree of hepatopancreatic tissue damage, and its physiological and biochemical effects, was evaluated on individuals exposed to petroleum ether extracts (PEEEs). The PEEEs, ethyl acetate extract (EAEE) and water saturated n-butyl extract (SBEE) of C. nitens also had toxic effects on P. canaliculata but PEEE had the greatest molluscicidal activity. After exposure to PEEE for 24 h, the hepatopancreas of P. canaliculata had a large necrotic area. The levels of soluble sugar, soluble protein and albumin (Alb) in the hepatopancreas of P. canaliculata decreased with increasing PEEE concentration, while the activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) increased with increasing PEEE concentration. A total of 29 compounds were identified from the PEEE of C. nitens by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The main components were esters (48.13%), alcohols (18.43%) and the compound Chimonanthine (14.70%). The results of the molluscicidal assay, histological experiments and the physiological and biochemical experiments show that the PEEE of C. nitens could potentially be used for P. canaliculata management.

Essential oils (EOs) are volatile secondary metabolites of natural plants with multitudinous pharmacological activities. However, limited by their properties, such as low solubility, high volatility, photothermal instability, irritation, release, etc., EOs encounter significant challenges in pharmaceutical applications.

Article Synopsis
- Shanlameiye granules, derived from Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. leaves, show potential in reducing inflammation associated with Allergic Rhinitis (AR), but the specific role of the essential oil from these leaves (CLO) is still unclear.
- The study aimed to analyze the effects of CLO on inflammatory responses using RAW264.7 cells and a rat model of AR, induced through specific inflammatory stimuli.
- Results indicated that CLO significantly reduced cytokine secretion and inhibited key signaling pathways in both cell and rat models, suggesting it helps mitigate inflammation in AR by modulating NF-κB and T-bet/GATA-3 pathways.

Article Synopsis
- Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. is a traditional Chinese medicine known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its effects on sepsis-related intestinal injury are not well studied.
- The study investigates the essential oil from C. nitens Oliv. (CEO) for its therapeutic potential in treating acute intestinal injury caused by sepsis, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in septic rat models.
- Results show that CEO significantly reduces inflammatory markers and oxidative stress responses in the intestines, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent, especially in conjunction with MFN2 knockdown, which enhances CEO's protective effects.

Article Synopsis
- The essential oil from Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. leaves (CLO) has shown promise in reducing inflammation and repairing lung injury in a mouse model of Acute Lung Injury (ALI), although its exact mechanisms are still unclear.
- The study aims to validate CLO's effects on ALI and investigate the underlying mechanisms, using established cell and animal models induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
- Results demonstrated that CLO significantly lowered inflammatory cytokine levels, oxidative stress markers, and structural damage in lung tissues, suggesting that its therapeutic effects may involve the NF-κB and Nrf2 signaling pathways, revealing potential for pharmacological treatment of ALI.

A sensitive UPLC-HRMS method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of four active flavonoids from Chimonanthus nitens Leaf Granules (CNLG) in biological matrix. The method was utilized in pharmacokinetic study of the four flavonoids in rats as well as other evaluation assays . It was revealed that rutin, nicotiflorin, and astragalin had poor oral bioavailability in rats possibly due to low intestinal permeability and metabolism in intestinal flora.
