Bioactive natural products play an important role in the research and development of new drugs. In our search for bioactive natural substances as potential lead compounds for inflammation, four new (1-4) and six known (6-10) triterpenoids were acquired from Lantana camara. Using NMR and MS techniques and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, these isolates were characterized and the new compounds (1-4) were found to be euphane-type triterpenoids. The in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of all the isolates were evaluated and the more bioactive compounds were selected for the investigation of preliminary mechanism using molecular docking and Western blotting experiments, as well as the in vivo anti-inflammatory evaluation using a zebrafish model.

Article Synopsis
- A new method using elastic lipid nanovesicles (ELNs) loaded with Lantana camara extract is developed to improve the permeation of active compounds through the skin.
- The study produced 15 different formulations and examined factors like vesicle size, surface characteristics, and the impact on skin permeation using a model resembling human skin (Start-M).
- Results showed that smaller vesicle sizes (100-200 nm) significantly enhanced the permeation of the extract, and that the optimal surfactant ratio led to over 75% of the extract permeating within 8 hours; the ELN formulation also demonstrated a strong reduction in skin cancer cell viability.
- Future research should focus on the long-term safety and clinical applications of ELNs

Plants are important components in sustaining the life of humans and animals, balancing ecosystems, providing animal feed and edible food for human consumption, and serving as sources of traditional and modern medicine. However, plants can be harmful to both animals and humans when ingested, leading to poisoning regardless of the quantity consumed. This presents significant risks to livestock health and can impede economic growth.
