The substantial antimitotic potential of podophyllotoxin and its derivatives has attracted both synthetic and medicinal chemists to expand the chemical space for the subsequent biological evaluation of these compounds. The interest ranges from total synthesis, hemi-synthesis, one-pot synthetic approaches and structure-activity relationship studies. In the first segment of the review, we present recent development in th Read More

Objective: Over the years, scientific investigations have proven the importance of selenium as an essential element for mammals, emphasizing its activity against many diseases and even its prophylactic effects. It is also established now that a malconsumption of selenium can be harmful. Therefore, the nature and the concentration of selenium and its derivatives found in the diet, the body, and even in the environment, fo Read More

Dyslipidemia is the major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is characterized by higher plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), apolipoprotein B (apoB), very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-c), triglycerides (TGs) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c Read More

Background: Green tea is a commonly used dietary supplement and food product. Green tea contains many polyphenolic compounds known as green tea catechins (GTCs). There are numerous reports exploring the potential benefit of using green tea catechins as chemotherapeutic agents to treat neoplastic disorders and infectious processes. The prevalence of cancer diagnoses, bacterial infections, and viral diseases that i Read More

Aims: This work aimed to reveal some mechanisms of influence of three basil EO on the microglial cells, as recently, research data stated that these oils have anti-aging and neuroprotective properties, and they are found to be effective against some forms of neurodegeneration. Background: The microglial cells play a pivotal role as the neuroprotective agents against neuroinflammation. Ocimum subspecies are a Read More

Background: This paper defines the fluid-dried gum extracted from the fresh fruit of the Okra Gum (Abelmoschus Esculentus) and refined Gum Ghatti (Anogeissus Latifolia) vine to advance practices of characterization. Introduction: It outlines a systematic study of the physicochemical properties of gums in response to a European Union request for a thorough review of the quality of gums as food additives. Methods: As Read More
