Colla plant belongs to the family, which is well-known for its nutritional and pharmacological properties. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-xanthine oxidase, anti-lipase, and anti-tyrosinase activities of samples of corm, pseudostem, inflorescence, fruit, peel, and seed of . The results show that seed performed the highest capacity in the inhibition of three investigated enzymes, with IC values of 290.25 μg/mL (anti-tyrosinase), 141.51 μg/mL (anti-xanthine oxidase), and 25.66 μg/mL (anti-lipase). In addition, while fruit showed better performance in anti-lipase inhibition (IC: 32.72 μg/mL), corm pointed out higher capability on anti-xanthine oxidase (IC: 160.67 μg/mL) and anti-tyrosinase (IC: 334.43 μg/mL). The data show the high potential of the application of parts in medical aesthetics, dietary supplements, or medicine. This is the first report to systematically present the biological activities of all parts of grown in Vietnam.

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a crucial target for hyperuricemia treatment(s). Naturally occurred XO inhibitors with minimal toxicity and high efficacy have attracted researchers' attention. With the goal of quickly identifying natural XO inhibitors, an integrated computational screening strategy was constructed by molecular docking and calculating the free energy of binding.

Dioscoreae hypoglaucae Rhizoma (DH) and Dioscoreae spongiosae Rhizoma (DS) are two similar Chinese herbal medicines derived from the Dioscorea family. DH and DS have been used as medicines in China and other Asian countries for a long time, but study on their phytochemicals and bioactive composition is limited. This present study aimed to compare the chemical compositions of DH and DS, and explore the anti-xanthine oxidase components based on chemometric analysis and spectrum-effect relationship.

is an edible mushroom with diverse pharmaceutical applications. Although this mushroom is an attractive source of natural products for cancer treatment, little is known about the bioactive compounds from this mushroom, which may possess antibreast cancer activity. Here, we report the isolation and structure elucidation of new compounds, 5'-hydroxyhericenes A-D () as an inseparable mixture, together with known compounds () from the fruiting body of .
