Globe amaranth flower, the edible inflorescence of Gomphrena globose L., was used to treat dysentery and ulcer as well as other infectious diseases caused by microbes in Southwest China, but its function and bioactive components need experimental support. In this study, phytochemical constituents and antibacterial bioactivity of globe amaranth flower against P. aeruginosa were carried out. As a result, two new (1 and 2) and eleven known (3-11) compounds were isolated, in which compounds 4-7 displayed anti P. aeruginosa bioactivity with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) from 0.008 to 0.256 mg/mL. Furthermore, with aid of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a superficial skin infection model in mice, the most potent compound 4 can significantly destroy the structure of bacteria in vitro and restore bacterial infection damage in vivo.

The regulation of copper in the human body is important for the prevention of several diseases. Therefore, a rhodamine B-based chemosensor 1 that demonstrates substantial affinity and selectivity was synthesized for the fluorescence imaging of copper(II). In the presence of Cu, the chemosensor underwent a color change from colorless to amaranth that was visible to the naked eye, and the fluorescence intensity did not change when excess EDTA was added to the solution.

Leafy vegetables are susceptible to drought stress. vegetables are resistant to abiotic stress, including drought, and are a source of ample natural phytochemicals of interest to the food industry due to their benefits to consumers' health. Hence, the selected drought-resistant amaranth genotypes were evaluated for phytochemicals and antioxidant activity in an RCBD study with three replicates.
