Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Ellagic Acid on Acute Lung Injury Induced by Acid in Mice

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by alveolar edema and uncontrolled neutrophil migration to the lung, and no specific therapy is still available. Ellagic acid, a compound present in several fruits and medicinal plants, has shown anti-inflammatory

Antiatherogenic effects of ellagic acid and urolithins in vitro

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2016
Atherosclerosis, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, is characterized by impaired endothelial function and lipid metabolism, among other factors. Ellagitannins are a class of phenolic compounds that may play a role in cardiovascular health. This work aimed to study the potential atheroprotective effects of urolithins, ellagitannin-derived gut

Controlling Growth of Ultrasmall Sub‐10 nm Silver Nanoparticles From Cotinus coggygria Scop. Extract and Evaluation of Its In Vitro Anti‐Breast Cancer, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study highlights the potential use of Cotinus coggygria Scop. plant extract in a single‐step synthesis of biocompatible and ultrasmall AgNPs for in vitro applications. Herein, microscopic analyses revealed that AgNP exposure did not induce appreciable morphological changes in CRL‐4010 cells, whereas MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells exhibited ...

Ellagic acid: Characterization as substrate of polyphenol oxidase [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 2008
AbstractEllagic acid has been described as an inhibitor of tyrosinase or polyphenol oxidase and, therefore, of melanogenesis. In this work, we demonstrate that ellagic acid is not an inhibitor, but a substrate of mushroom polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme which oxidizes ellagic acid, generating its o‐quinone.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and
