In this work, a facile one-step green synthesis was developed for the fabrication of blue fluorescent copper nanocluster (Brahmi-CuNCs) from the extract of Bacopa monnieri (common name is Brahmi) via a microwave method. The as-prepared Brahmi-CuNCs emitted blue fluorescence at 452 nm when excited at 352 nm and showed a quantum yield of 31.32%. Brahmi-derived blue fluorescent CuNCs acted as a probe for fluorescence sensing of dichlorvos. Upon the addition of dichlorvos, the blue emission for Brahmi-CuNCs was gradually turned off, favouring establishment of a calibration graph in the range 0.5-100 μM with a detection limit of 0.23 μM. The as-synthesized Brahmi-CuNCs exhibited marked sensitivity and selectivity towards dichlorvos, favourable for assaying dichlorvos in various samples (cabbage, apple juice, and rice).

: This study investigates the effectiveness of an herbal formulation, STRESSLESS (ST-65), which combines ashwagandha () and bacopa (), on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Given the rising interest in natural compounds for neuroprotection and stress alleviation, we aimed to explore the cellular and molecular effects of this formulation. : Utilizing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomic approach and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS), we identified key bioactive compounds in ST-65, including withanolides from ashwagandha and bacosides from bacopa.

Aging is a complex process that involves many physiological mechanisms that gradually impair normal cellular and tissue function and make us more susceptible to diseases and death. It is influenced by intrinsic factors like cellular function and extrinsic factors like pollution and UV radiation. Recent scientific studies show that traditional plant-based foods and supplements can help mitigate the effects of aging.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic administration of Bacopa monnieri extract shows potential neuroprotective effects in animal models of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
- The study specifically tested Bacopaside-I (BS-I), highlighting its ability to improve motor function and reverse dopamine depletion caused by rotenone, a chemical used to induce Parkinson's-like symptoms in rats.
- Findings suggest that BS-I increases key genetic markers and the number of dopamine-producing neurons, establishing its potential as a basis for future drug development against Parkinson’s disease.

Article Synopsis
- Bacopa monnieri juice (BMJ) is recognized for enhancing memory, but its potential to combat diabetes remains under-researched.
- The study successfully reduces the bitterness of BMJ using ZnSO, while demonstrating that both BMJ and the debittered version can effectively inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme activity, crucial for managing blood sugar levels.
- Molecular docking analysis reveals significant interactions between the active compounds in BMJ and the α-glucosidase enzyme, suggesting that a debittered BMJ formulation could be developed for diabetes management.
