Objectives: The two flavonoids kaempferol and chrysin are known to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In addition, these two flavonoids were reported to display synergistic effects against inflammation. The present study aims to provide an analysis of the combined effects of kaempferol and chrysin on ischemic rat brain induced by endothelin-1.

Methods: The neurological deficit score and infarct area of the brain were determined post drug treatment. Histopathological sections displayed the morphological changes in the brain tissue. The brain tissues were processed for assessing the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by measuring superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity, level of reduced glutathione, brain malondialdehyde, and amount of calcium. The expression level of inflammatory molecules was analyzed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Results: The infarct area, neurological score and NF-κB and STAT3 expression levels were significantly reduced.

Discussion: The analysis of neuroprotective synergistic activity of kaempferol and chrysin indicated the therapeutic potential of the combination in alleviating cerebral ischemia by controlling expression of proinflammatory mediators.

Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees that has several biomedical properties that could contribute to the repair process of the gastric mucosa, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, healing, and gastroprotective properties. Thus, this study aimed to determine the chemical composition of Mexicali propolis, its antioxidant capacity, and its effect on gastric repair. Three polarity-directed extracts were obtained: the ethanolic extract, the ethyl acetate extract, and the hexane extract.

Theoretical Study on Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds of Flavonoid Cocrystals.

Chemphyschem

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Electrochemical Energy Storage and Energy Conversion of Hainan Province, Hainan Normal University, Haikou, 571158, P. R. China.

This study investigates the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the formation of cocrystals involving flavonoid molecules, focusing on three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs): chrysin (CHR), isoliquiritigenin (ISO), and kaempferol (KAE). These APIs form cocrystals with different cocrystal formers (CCFs) through intramolecular hydrogen bonding. We found that disruption of these intramolecular hydrogen bonds leads to decreased stability compared to molecules with intact bonds.
