Development and Characterization of Ribes nigrum Extract‐Loaded PLGA/Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Vaginal Drug Delivery System for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ribes nigrum extract‐loaded PLGA/chitosan nanoparticles is developed as a vaginal drug delivery system for vulvovaginal candidiasis. The chitosan‐coated nanoparticles exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, strong mucoadhesion, sustained release for up to 2 weeks, excellent biocompatibility, and potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans,

Molecular mechanisms of how black barley accumulates higher anthocyanins than blue barley following transcriptomic evaluation and expression analysis of key genes in anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway

Frontiers in Plant Science
Barley is not only a major food crop but also a medicinal plant which has considerable quantities of flavonoids. Among all flavonoids, anthocyanins play a crucial role in pigmentation, pollination, seed dispersal in plants.

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Free Phenolic Hydroxyl Groups Govern the Anticancer Activity of α‐Mangostin: A Structure–Activity Relationship Insight

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Free phenolic hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of the natural xanthone α‐mangostin (MGT) contribute positively to achieving the anticancer profile against murine colon cancer, murine triple negative breast cancer, and human osteosarcoma cancer. ABSTRACT The α‐mangostin (MGT) is a natural xanthone obtained from the pericarp of mangosteen fruit (
