Ellagic acid solid dispersion (EASD) was prepared using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a carrier to improve its solubility. The solubility of EASD enhanced to 0.593 mg/mL, more than 20 times of the solubility on pure EA. The structure of EASD was analyzed by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transforms infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and results indicated the successful preparation of EASD, with a decrease in crystallinity. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) spectrums showed a lower endothermic peak of EASD than EA. By antioxidant analysis, the EASD with the concentration of 3 mg/mL was used in the protein oxidation analysis in hydroxyl radical oxidation simulation system, which was established by the myofibrillar of hairtail. EASD exhibited an excellent inhibit effect on protein oxidation. By increasing the solubility, EASD broadens the application range of EA, providing a theoretical basis for its application in the preservation of aquatic products.

This study investigates the antimalarial potential of extracts and compounds from various plants used in traditional Korean medicine, in response to the increasing resistance of to standard treatments such as chloroquine and artemisinin. The antimalarial activity screening was conducted on 151 extracts, identifying the top seven candidates, including (50% ethanol and 100% methanol extract), , (hot water and 50% ethanol extract), , and . Among these, was identified as the top priority for further analysis due to its high antimalarial activity and high yield of bioactive compounds.

Mancozeb (MZ), an EBDC fungicide, has been found to contaminate agricultural products and cause male reproductive toxicity. The phytochemical compounds of white petal extract (WNPE) and its effects on metabolomic profiles and reproductive function in male rats poisoned with MZ were investigated. Seventy-two mature male Wistar rats were divided into nine groups ( = 8) and, for 30 days, were gavaged with WNPE at doses of 0.

Oxidative stress (OS), generated by the overrun of reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen (RONS), is the key cause of several human diseases. With inflammation, OS is responsible for the onset and development of clinical signs and the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a multifactorial chronic neurodegenerative syndrome indicated by a form of progressive dementia associated with aging.

The sustainable use of pomegranate peel, a by-product of the food industry, is gaining importance in developing pharmaceutical bio-inputs, aligning with circular economy practices and waste reduction. This study explores the application of dry crude pomegranate peel extract (PPE) as a bio-input for medicinal gels with wound healing properties. PPE was extracted via percolation in ethanol and freeze-dried.
