Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in pummelo, is a key biological active compound in some traditional Chinese medicines, including Citri reticulatae pericarpium, Citri reticulatae pericarpium viride, Aurantii fructus immaturus, and Aurantii fructus. These Chinese medicinal preparations are the peels or immature fruits of certain citrus species. Aiming at detecting naringenin in complex matrices such as pummelo and traditional Chinese medicines, we put forward a sensitive and practical indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) based on anti-naringenin monoclonal antibodies (anti-Nar-mAbs). The median inhibitory concentration (IC) was 4.43 ng/mL, and the working range was 1.15-15.81 ng/mL. The findings of the icELISA for the analysis of naringenin in pummelo and herb samples had a good correlation with the ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) methodology and showed good accuracy and reproducibility. These data demonstrated that the developed icELISA is reliable, accurate, and suitable for detecting naringenin in pummelo and traditional Chinese medicines.

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression or phenotypic changes that occur without changing the gene sequence. The main methods of epigenetics include non-coding RNA, histone modification, and DNA modification, which play an essential role in gene expression regulation and even the occurrence of diverse diseases. Naringenin, the aglycone form of naringin, is a natural flavonoid compound mainly found in fruits or plant derivatives such as citrus, tomatoes, and cherries.

Methamphetamine is a psychoactive substance that competes with the dopamine transporter, disrupting its flow and storage. This can trigger oxidative stress, finally resulting in neural cell death. Due to the increasing prevalence of methamphetamine use, extensive research has been devoted to finding treatments that ameliorate its detrimental effects.

Background: Developing interventions for older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) has the potential to prevent dementia in this at-risk group. Preclinical models indicate that Citrus-derived phytochemicals could benefit cognition and inflammatory processes, but results from clinical trials are still preliminary. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of long-term supplementation with Citrus peel extract on cognitive performance and inflammation in individuals with SCD.

Cardiovascular diseases rank as the top global cause of mortality, particularly acute myocardial infarction (MI). MI arises from the blockage of a coronary artery, which disrupts blood flow and results in tissue death. Among therapeutic approaches, bioactives from medicinal plants emerge as promising for the development of new medicines.
