Numerous bioactive chemicals with a range of advantageous effects on human metabolism can be found in medicinal plants. The knowledge of these phytochemicals is essential for the identification of potential medicines. In the present study, was selected for GC-MS profiling and antioxidant studies. Plant extracts were prepared with ethanol, ethyl acetate, and acetone by using the continuous hot Soxhlet extraction method. The chemical compositions were analyzed by GC/MS. In addition, antioxidant activity was measured using ABTS, DPPH, and hydrogen peroxide assay. The GC-MS analysis of the different solvent extracts showed a total of 32 compounds present in . Ethanol extracts showed 11 compounds, ethyl acetate extracts showed 8 compounds, and acetone extracts showed the presence of 13 compounds. Different dominant chemicals were identified in each solvent extract by the phytochemical study. The chemical composition of the extracts revealed notable differences. The ethanol extract was dominated by 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, which comprised 51.4% of the total composition. In contrast, the acetone extract had 3-ethyl-4-methylhexane as its primary component, while the ethyl acetate extract was characterized by the presence of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid as its major chemical constituent. The different assay on free radical scavenging activity of the extracts showed antioxidant activity. The acetone extracts showed the least IC value of 35.13 μg/mL for the hydrogen peroxide test, the ethyl acetate showed IC value 65.49 μg/mL in the ABTS assay, and the ethanol extract showed the lowest IC value of 80.84 μg/mL in the DPPH assay. The results indicated that the plant has bioactive compounds with antioxidant potential that can be further investigated for anticancer and other medicinal uses.

Using a bioassay-guided fractionation approach, the most potent anti-psoriatic components of Aster squamatus herb, Aster chinensis stalks, and Aster chinensis flowers, cultivated in Egypt, were identified and evaluated against Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis in female BALB/c mice and compared to standard drug, mometasone. The topical application of A. chinensis stalk methanolic extract exhibited the strongest anti-psoriatic effects against IMQ-induced psoriasis model, as evidenced by improvements in psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score, histopathological analysis, and spleen index.

Introduction: The polyol pathway is responsible for the metabolism of almost one-third of the total glucose in people with chronic diabetes. Moreover, it causes complications in organs that rely on aldose reductase (AR) as an enzyme. The purpose of this research was to examine the in vitro and in vivo effects of a flavonoid-rich ethyl acetate fraction of a methanolic extract of Ficus carica Lam.

Two one-pot routes from iodoarenes to diaryliodonium triflates have been developed in the sustainable solvent ethyl acetate. The first method yields the recently reported aryl(dimethylisoxazolyl)iodonium triflates, circumventing the need for stepwise synthesis of this chemoselective arylating reagent. The second method gives other types of diaryliodonium salts, and the scalability of the protocols was exhibited with two >45 mmol scale-ups with impressively low -factors.
