Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) and Moringa concanensis (M. concanensis), both belong to the Moringaceae family and are commonly recognized as drumstick trees. M. oleifera, often referred to as the “miracle tree,” has been valued for its extensive health benefits for centuries. M. concanensis, also known locally as Kattumurungai, is another vital medicinal plant used for treating conditions such as skin tumors, fatigue, high blood pressure, jaundice, and diabetes. This study compares the pharmaco

In Russia, stroke is the second leading cause of mortality (21.4%), following coronary heart disease (25.7%). The recurrence rate of strokes remains high, constituting around 25% of the cases of acute cerebral circulatory disturbances. In addition, up to 80% of stroke survivors experience lasting disabilities. Consequently, the development of effective methods for the prevention of recurrent strokes is a vital goal for medical science. This study investigated the potential of phytotherapy in the

In this study, isoforms of NPC-Fe(III) complexes were extracted and purified from Helianthus tuberosus (Armenian Jerusalem artichoke), Solanum tuberosum (potato), and Daucus sativus (carrot). For the 1st time, the physicochemical properties of these complexes were determined, including their specific content, O₂⁻-producing activity, steady-state concentration of O₂⁻, and fluorescence intensity. These complexes exhibited peak optical absorbance in both the visible and UV spectra. Hybrid complexes

The kidneys are essential for filtering and eliminating waste from the body, but their function can be compromised by oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species. This study investigated the protective effects of Gum Arabic (GA), an FDA-approved dietary fiber, against aluminum chloride (AlCl₃)-induced kidney injury in rats, focusing on XRCC1 gene expression and Ki67 and p53 immunoreactivity. A total of 20 male Wistar rats were allocated into four groups (n = 20). The control group (group

Diabetes mellitus is a common condition that often leads to serious systemic complications. This study investigates the healing of infected wounds in hyperglycemia using formulations derived from plant materials such as Acacia nilotica, Trigonella foenumgraecum, Cyperus rotundus, and Cymbopogon proximus. A model of dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemia was created, followed by wound induction and the application of Streptococcus epidermidis-infected material from a patient with streptoderma. The f

This study used network pharmacology strategies combined with multi-pathway analysis to investigate the potential bioactive constituents and underlying therapeutic mechanisms of the hospital-prepared Yinaoan capsule (YNA) for epilepsy treatment. The active compounds in YNA were systematically retrieved from multiple resources, including the traditional Chinese medicine system pharmacology database (TCMSP), the traditional Chinese medicines integrated database (TCMID), the encyclopedia of traditi

Phytochemical compounds play a crucial role in determining the therapeutic potential of plant species and significantly contribute to their ability to resist environmental stress factors, whether biotic or abiotic. Based on the specific presence of such bioactive molecules, plant genera are often classified into various medicinal categories such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diarrhoeal, and anti-stomachic plants. Among them, the family Convolvulaceae, which encompasses the genus Distim

Infections caused by Candida species account for a significant proportion of fungal infections affecting the vaginal mucosa. Traditional antifungal treatments have shown limited efficacy, which has led to the search for alternative products based on plant-derived extracts, which are often more effective and non-toxic according to existing research. Our research focused on the extraction of essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. and the evaluation of its antimicrobial properties, known for its hi
