Virtual Screening of Phytochemicals From Medicinal Plants as Promising PDE5 Inhibitors Against Erectile Dysfunction

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Phytochemicals from Algerian medicinal plants were virtually screened as potential phosphodiesterase‐5 (PDE5) inhibitors for erectile dysfunction therapy. Drug‐likeness and toxicity analyses identified catechin, ellagic acid, and rosmarinic acid as safe, bioavailable candidates.

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...
