Could the Biological Potency of Porcelia macrocarpa R.E. Fries (Annonaceae) be Linked to Its Diverse Metabolite Profile?

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Porcelia macrocarpa is a Brazilian plant species belonging to the Annonaceae family. To date, more than 190 compounds have been identified and/or isolated from this species, with terpenoids comprising the majority (62%). Alkaloids represent the second most abundant class (11%), followed by steroids (4%), acetogenins (4%), fatty acids (4 ...

α-Arbutin ameliorates UVA-induced photoaging through regulation of the SIRT3/PGC-1α pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Owing to its tyrosinase inhibitory activity, α-arbutin has been added to several skin care products as a skin-lightening agent. However, the protective effect of α-arbutin against ultraviolet A (UVA)-induced photoaging has not been well investigated. The

Action of tyrosinase on alpha and beta-arbutin: A kinetic study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The known derivatives from hydroquinone, α and β-arbutin, are used as depigmenting agents. In this work, we demonstrate that the oxy form of tyrosinase (oxytyrosinase) hydroxylates α and β-arbutin in ortho position of the phenolic hydroxyl group, giving ...

Combining the Salt‐Tolerant Plants Limonium algarvense Erben and Polygonum maritimum L. Promotes Synergistic Bioactivities for Enhanced Cosmetic Applications

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The demand for natural and sustainable ingredients in dermo‐cosmetic formulations has promoted the use of coastal salt‐tolerant plants as novel bioresources. This study evaluated aqueous extracts of Limonium algarvense and Polygonum maritimum, two salt‐tolerant coastal plants and their mixtures (3:1, 1:1, 1:3, w/w) for antioxidant, metal ...

Navigating Solute Carrier Transporters—A Comprehensive Review of Functionalized Small Molecule Probes for Target Identification and Characterization

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 238-271, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are integral membrane proteins that play pivotal roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by mediating the transport of a diverse range of substrates across cell membranes. With their involvement in fundamental physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, neurotransmitter signaling, and drug transport ...
