Received: 2018.12.12; Accepted: 2019.03.29; Published: 2019.05.10 Abstract Cataracts are the major cause of blindness and are associated with oxidative damage of the lens. In the present study, the aim was to evaluate the protective effects of rosmarinic acid on selenite-induced cataractogenesis in Sprague-Dawley rat pups. The animals were randomly divided into five groups, each of which consisted of 10 rat pups. Group I served as normal control (vehicle administration). For testing cataract induction, animals of Groups II, III, IV, and V were administered a single subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite (2.46 mg/kg body weight) on postpartum day 12.

Today, the common and selective drugs for the treatment of CL are antimonial compounds present some limitations to their usage. The objective of this study is to investigate the cytotoxic and antileishmanial effects of various extracts of Capparis spinosa L. on the in vitro model. Materials and Methods: The primary phytochemical analysis of the C. spinosa extracts was performed to assess the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and glycosides. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxic and antileishmanial effects of C. spinosa extracts on Leishmania tropica promastigote were evaluated. Additionally, these effects on the J774-A1 macrophage cells by colorimetric cell viability 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay were also assessed. Results: In this study, the findings of primary phytochemical screening of the C. spinosa extracts demonstrated the existence of flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, glycosides, and alkaloids in this plant.

  • COGNITROPIC™ Advanced Brain Factors
    COGNITROPIC™ Advanced Brain Factors Supports key cognitive functions including: ✔ Memory, higher thinking, learning and attention ✔ Promotes sleep and mood ✔ Helps promote levels of a key neuro- protein (BDNF) that declines as we age ✔ BDNF is involved in learning, memo- ry and higher thinking Welcome to Premier Research Labs’ flagship product, CogniTropic™. This advanced brain support formula is the culmination of an emerging class of patent pending botanical compounds scientifically formulated to target cerebral performance-boosting mental focus, attention, working memory, recall and rec- ognition. Exciting new research demonstrates these ingredients may significantly promote Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factors (BDNF) levels, clinically supporting the cognitive functions specific to the ability to learn, manage information, focus and react. BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors within the hippocampus, cortex and basal forebrain – areas vital to learning memory and higher thinking. All Natural, Clinically Studied Nutrients CogniTropic™ is a new genre of world-class, full spectrum botanical ingredients combined together in one formula to deliver the cognitive results you have been waiting for. Leading the list of these clinically reviewed ingredients includes the well-researched, all-natural spearmint leaf, patented as Neumentix™, coupled with an extract of whole fruit from the Coffea arabica plant, patented as NeuroFactor™. This masterpiece is then anchored by a naturally fermented Choline L-Bitartrate (not the synthetic DL-tartaric acid form) and Organic Rosemary Leaf (noted from ancient times to be associated with “remembrance”). Never before has such an impressive lineup of all-natural, ingredient super-stars been assembled into one supplement without undesirable excipients.

  • Bioconversion of Stilbenes in Genetically Engineered Root and Cell
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bioconversion of stilbenes in genetically engineered root and cell cultures of tobacco Received: 04 November 2016 Diego Hidalgo1, Ascensión Martínez-Márquez2, Elisabeth Moyano3, Roque Bru-Martínez2, Accepted: 20 February 2017 Purificación Corchete4 & Javier Palazon1 Published: 27 March 2017 It is currently possible to transfer a biosynthetic pathway from a plant to another organism. This system has been exploited to transfer the metabolic richness of certain plant species to other plants or even to more simple metabolic organisms such as yeast or bacteria for the production of high added value plant compounds. Another application is to bioconvert substrates into scarcer or biologically more interesting compounds, such as piceatannol and pterostilbene. These two resveratrol-derived stilbenes, which have very promising pharmacological activities, are found in plants only in small amounts. By transferring the human cytochrome P450 hydroxylase 1B1 (HsCYP1B1) gene to tobacco hairy roots and cell cultures, we developed a system able to bioconvert exogenous t-resveratrol into piceatannol in quantities near to mg L−1. Similarly, after heterologous expression of resveratrol O-methyltransferase from Vitis vinifera (VvROMT) in tobacco hairy roots, the exogenous t-resveratrol was bioconverted into pterostilbene. We also observed that both bioconversions can take place in tobacco wild type hairy roots (pRiA4, without any transgene), showing that unspecific tobacco P450 hydroxylases and methyltransferases can perform the bioconversion of t-resveratrol to give the target compounds, albeit at a lower rate than transgenic roots. Trans-resveratrol (t-R) (3,4′ ,5-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin available from a wide range of dietary sources, including mulberries, peanuts, grapes and wine.

The present study aimed to determine antioxidant activity of cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa L. in vivo, evaluating the possible antioxidative effect of Cannabis sativa L. extract (CE) on malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) concentrations as well as on catalase (CAT) activity in BALB/c mice. In total, 40 mice were divided into five equal groups: the aluminum group (7.5 mg AlCl3/kg/d (0.15 LD50), the saline group, the 10% ethanol group (an appropriate amount of the solution for mouse weight), the CE group (1.6 mg CE/g/day), and the aluminum-CE group (7.5 mg AlCl3 plus 1.6 mg CE/g/day). The results of the study showed that CE significantly decreased (by 26.81%, p < 0.05) the concentration of GSH in blood of the mice and the concentration of MDA in the brain (by 82.12%) and liver (by Citation: Kubiliene, A.; Mickute, K.; 53.5%) of the mice compared to the respective concentrations in the AlCl3 group.

Natural products offer many options have attempted to understand the disease mechanism and to reduce the progress and symptoms of many kinds of develop a disease-modifying drug. Two main factors are diseases, including AD. Meanwhile, natural compound responsible for the development of AD: β-amyloid protein structures, including lignans, flavonoids, tannins, poly- and abnormal tau protein, or both of them.

The extraction method based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was used for the extraction of rutin and rosmarinic acid from this plant. Five different choline chloride-based DESs with different volumes of water (10%, 30%, and 50% (v/v)) were used for the extraction at different temperatures (30, 50, and 70 ◦C) to investigate the influence on rosmarinic acid and rutin content obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD) in the obtained extracts. A principal component analysis was employed to explore and visualize the influence of applied parameters on the efficiency of the extraction procedure of rutin and rosmarinic acid.
