The fruits of L., popularly known as '', have been used in medicine. This study evaluated the antioxidant and antitumor activities of the hydroethanolic extract (HAE) and fractions obtained from the fruit pericarp of . The HAE was obtained from the fruit pericarp by maceration; this was followed by fractionation using reversed-phase solid-phase extraction, resulting in fractions enriched with acyclic sesquiterpenic oligoglycosides (ASOG) and saponins (SAP1, and SAP2), confirmed by mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (ESI-QTOF-MS). The greatest citotoxic activity was observed with the SAP1 fraction against the CaCo2 cell line with a GI of 8.1 µg mL, while the SAP2 fraction had a GI of 13.6 µg mL against CaCo2. The HAE demonstrated the greatest antioxidant activity. has potential therapeutic use in the pharmaceutical industry as a natural anti-oxidant or antitumor product.

Anthocyanin is the primary color-developing component in the pericarp of the passion fruit. Although the pericarp of the passion fruit is anticipated to be a significant source of anthocyanin, however, information regarding anthocyanin biosynthesis in the passion fruit pericarp remains unexplored. Based on metabolomics analysis, a total of five anthocyanins were identified in the purple-skinned passion fruit pericarp, among which three anthocyanins, petunidin-3-O-arabinoside, geranylgeranyl-3,5-O-diglucoside, and petunidin-3-O-rutinoside, play key roles in the coloration of the passion fruit pericarp.

Background: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and powerful method for gene functional analysis in plants that pose challenges in stable transformation. Numerous VIGS systems based on Agrobacterium infiltration has been widely developed for tender tissues of various plant species, yet none is available for recalcitrant perennial woody plants with firmly lignified capsules, such as tea oil camellia. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, robust, and cost-effective VIGS system for recalcitrant tissues.

Background/aim: Hederagenin (3β,4α-3,23-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid) is a natural pentacyclic triterpene that is present in various medicinal plants and exhibits pharmacological activities against various diseases, including cancer. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Aq3639 (3β-[(O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]olean-12-en-28-oic acid), a hederagenin glycoside comprising hederagenin and a disaccharide of L-rhamnose and L-arabinose, on breast cancer cells.
Materials And Methods: Aq3639 was isolated from the pericarps of Akebia quinata fruits, and its effects on cells from the human breast cell line MCF-7 were examined.
