Two new iridoid glycosides, genipin 1,10-di-O-α-l-rhamnoside (1) and genipin 1,10-di-O-β-d-xylopyranoside (2), along with thirteen known compounds (3-15) were isolated from Gardeniae Fructus. Their structures were elucidated by physical data analyses such as NMR, UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, as well as chemical hydrolysis. All compounds were tested for their tyrosinase inhibitory and antioxidant activities. At a concentration of 25 μM, compound 13 showed obvious mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity with % inhibition value of 36.52 ± 1.98%, with kojic acid used as the positive control (46.09 ± 1.29%). At a concentration of 1 mM, compounds 8 and 9 exhibited considerable DPPH radical scavenging activities, with radical scavenging rates of 48.54 ± 0.47%, 58.59 ± 0.39%, respectively, with l-ascorbic acid used as the positive control (59.02 ± 0.77%).

Background: Benth is commonly utilized in China to take advantage of its purported health benefits.
Methods: Here, the chemical composition, nutritional value, and bioactivity of Benth extract (CGE) are characterized, and the mechanisms through which it functions were explored.
Results: CGE was found to exhibit a favorable nutritional and biosafety profile, especially due to its high amino acid and mineral contents.
Deep Eutectic Solvents and Wall-Breaking Technique: A New Frontier in the Extraction of Oleuropein and Flavonoids from Olive Leaves with Superior Antioxidant and Antitumor Potential.

The main objectives of this study were to develop an optimized green extraction process to obtain high contents of oleuropein and flavonoids from olive leaves. A deep eutectic solvent (DES) combined with wall-breaking extraction (WBE) was employed. A DES composed of choline chloride and ethylene glycol in a 1:2 molar ratio with 30% moisture content outperformed lactic acid and methanol as extraction solvents.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a multi-tissue/organ susceptible and highly destructive disease. The complex pathological mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury make its prevention and treatment highly challenging, and the development of novel drugs with pharmacological pleiotropy that can target multiple pathological mechanisms has become the focus of current drug research. Polydatin is a traditional Chinese medicine monomer with pleiotropic pharmacological effects, and existing research evidence suggests that polydatin has strong protective potential against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Br J Pharmacol

College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background And Purpose: We previously showed that the iridoid glycoside extract of Lamiophlomis rotata (IGLR) induces M2 macrophage polarisation to accelerate wound healing. The potentially active compounds (quality markers) in IGLR that accelerate wound healing have not been elucidated; we here identified quality markers that accelerate wound healing.
Experimental Approach: After IGLR gavage of dorsal excisional wound mice and normal mice for 7 days, the tissues were analysed using the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) method and were further validated by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) coupled with multivariate analyses to identify quality markers.

Sulfur-containing compounds are found in various medicinal products, where they play crucial roles in biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, and other therapeutic effects. These compounds are commonly found in species of Allium, especially onions and garlic; however, there is little evidence of their presence in other plants. In particular, sulfur-containing iridoid glycosides with anticancer properties, which are very promising compounds as pharmaceutical seeds, have been isolated from Paederia scandens (Rubiaceae), also known as the skunk vine because of its strong smell caused by methyl mercaptan.
