The use of medicinal plants to maintain normal weight and excellent health has been researched for a very long time. However, sufficient empirical data are still lacking to support the scientific notion of the use of herbal products for weight management. Obesity has traditionally been treated with herbal remedies from both domestic and international sources, including Ayurveda (Indian Traditional Medicine System). This article provides a brief overview of obesity-related disorders and their epidemiology, then discusses the potential anti-obesity effects of plants including Salvia plebian, Glycine max, Curcuma longa, Camellia sinensis, Moringa citrifolia, and others using validated tested animal models. It also focuses on the active phytochemical components that give these substances their anti-obesity properties, such as daidzein, ginsenosides, curcuminoids, zingiberene, curcumene, and ellagitannin. The paper was compiled after going through marketed formulations used worldwide, clinical trials and patents based on herbal products for obesity. This review can assist numerous researchers in conducting additional research on exploring the potential.","PeriodicalId":19599,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Journal Of Chemistry","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the use of herbs without conducting a thorough assessment of their effectiveness and safety can lead to sudden or harmful consequences that may pose a risk to the overall health of internal organs. Therefore, the current investigation’s goal was to determine the ethanolic extract of Litchi chinensis toxicological profile in rats. The Soxhlet extraction method extracted the fruit with ethanol as a solvent. The extract's susceptibility to acute, subacute, and subchronic toxicity was assessed. The histopathology of several organs (e.g., heart, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen) were also studied after treatment with plant extract. With the dosage of 2000 mg/kg, p.o., no deaths or adverse consequences were reported during the examination of acute toxicity. The Litchi chinensis extract produced no death or any observable changes in weight, behavior, organ weights, hematological or biochemical values in both oral subacute and subchronic toxicity experiments. Essential organs, including the heart, liver, lungs, kidney, and spleen, have regular planning when examined histopathologically, indicating no morphological changes. On the basis of results, the fruit (pericarp) extract of Litchi chinensis showed a lack of toxicity.","PeriodicalId":19599,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Journal Of Chemistry","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate their structural attributes, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, conducted with X’pert high score plus software, confirmed the composite nature and established their particle size within the nano range, measuring between 1 to 1.6 nm. Further characterization, employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the presence of Cr and N. The energy dispersive X- ray spectroscopy (EDX) provided compelling evidence of the integration of chromium and nitrogen into the CdS host matrix. An interesting outcome of the UV-VIS diffused reflectance spectra (DRS) analysis was the significant blue shift observed in the band gap resulting from the introduction of chromium, accompanied by a Burstein-Moss effect, leading to a red shift as the nitrogen concentration increased. The intense green light emission witnessed in photoluminescence (PL) studies was associated with the trapping of nitrogen and Cr2+ within F- centers. Moreover, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) investigations unveiled distinct magnetic behaviors of the nanocomposites, particularly at low magnetic fields. These findings reveal a potential for tailoring band gaps and presenting novel magnetic properties, which could hold substantial promise for applications in optomagnetic and spintronic smart devices.","PeriodicalId":19599,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Journal Of Chemistry","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139154080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study involved the analysis of 105 serum samples from 75 type II diabetes patients and 30 healthy individuals. MDA and GSH levels served as measures of oxidative stress and antioxidant activity, respectively. In addition, lipid profiles were examined, which include measurements such as total cholesterol (total C), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The results showed significantly increased MDA, total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose levels in the diabetic group compared to controls. In contrast, GSH and HDL levels were significantly lower in diabetics. In the type 2 diabetes patient group, a correlation between glucose levels and MDA concentration was observed, while no other significant associations were found between lipid profile parameters, glucose levels and MDA or GSH levels. Studies show the complex connection between diabetes and the increase in free radicals and the corresponding decrease in antioxidant synthesis.

The docking scores (DS) of TPs were determined by molecular docking software utilizing three different proteins of SDM (PDB IDs: 3LD6, 5FSA, and 5TZ1). The ProTox II web server predicted TPs' oral LD50 and toxicity class (TC), whereas the Swiss-ADME database anticipated their pharmacokinetic parameters. Based on the in silico study data, four TPs (TP18, TP22, TP27, and TP33) were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against seven fungi.
