Red Yeast Rice or Lovastatin? A Comparative Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy Through a Multifaceted Approach

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 264-281, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of red yeast rice (RYR) as a natural supplement to manage blood cholesterol levels is driven by its active compound, monacolin K (MK), which is chemically identical to the statin drug lovastatin (LOV). Despite its growing popularity, concerns persists regarding the safety and efficacy of RYR compared to pure statins.

Talaromyces atroroseus, a new species efficiently producing industrially relevant red pigments. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Some species of Talaromyces secrete large amounts of red pigments. Literature has linked this character to species such as Talaromyces purpurogenus, T. albobiverticillius, T. marneffei, and T. minioluteus often under earlier Penicillium names.

Impact of Nigrospora oryzae‐Derived Natural Products on Photosynthesis and Oxidative Stress in Eichhornia crassipes

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Interest in natural herbicides has been growing due to government policies restricting synthetic herbicide use in many countries. In that regard, this study investigates the potential of Nigrospora oryzae extract as a natural herbicide against the aquatic invasive weed Eichhornia crassipes.
