From fruits, 3-Nor-4β-friedelan-24-ol () and 3-decyl-6,7,8-trimethoxy-2H,5H-furo[4,3,2-de]isochromene-2,5-dione (), new derivatives alongside, 28-hydroxyfriedelan-3-one (), friedelin (), 3,3',4,4',5'-pentamethylcoruleoellagic acid (), hexamethylcoruleoellagic acid (), 3',4,4',5,5'-pentamethylcoruleoellagic acid (), and fatty compounds were isolated and characterized using HRESIMS, EIMS, 1D and 2D NMR. enzyme inhibition of compounds and were evaluated on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), α-glucosidase, urease and tyrosinase. Against AChE and BChE, the phenolic compounds and had good activity probably due to the phenolic nature and methoxy substituents. Compounds and exhibited good α-glucosidase inhibition especially compound whose IC = 42.45 ± 0.46 µg/mL was close that of acarbose (IC = 20.52 ± 0.84 µg/mL) standard drug. Urease and tyrosinase were appreciably inhibited by the compounds. Overall results of enzyme inhibitory assays indicate fruits and its constituents as potential remedy for enzymatic disorders.

In this study, the structure of a new boron compound obtained using 3-methoxy catechol and 4-methoxy phenyl boronic acid was characterized by H, C NMR, LC-MS-IT-TOF, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. The antioxidant activities of the newly synthesized compound were evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS quation radical scavenging and CUPRAC copper reducing capacity methods. Anticholinesterase activities were determined by acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitor assays.

Bee products are an important source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals. This study aimed to determine the chemical composition (proximate composition, general phytochemical composition, sugar, and phenolic profiles) of four different products (honey, bee pollen, bee bread, and propolis), obtained from the same apiary, as well as to assess their biological activity through antioxidant and enzyme inhibition assays (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, lipase, AchE, neuraminidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme, urease, trypsin, tyrosinase, carbonic anhydrase, thioredoxin reductase, adenosine deaminase). Clear differences were observed among the samples in terms of both chemical composition and biological activity.

Plant-derived bioactive substances have demonstrated significant qualities that suggest they may be crucial in preventing various chronic diseases. Flavonoids, which include apigenin, are the biggest group of polyphenols. In our study, we aimed to obtain the methanol-chloroform (1:1) extract from the aerial parts of Hedge & Lamond and purify the apigenin using bioactivity-guided isolation to separate the active fraction.

The design and development of fluorescent materials for detecting cancer-related enzymes are crucial for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a substituted rhodamine derivative for the chromogenic and fluorogenic detection of the cancer-relevant enzyme -glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT). Initially, the probe is non-chromic and non-emissive due to its spirolactam form, which hinders extensive electronic delocalization over broader pathway.
