Isolates of endophytic fungi were isolated from fruit, leaf and twig. Methanolic extracts were prepared by maceration. Antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method. Antiradical activity was evaluated by the 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Ten endophytic fungi were recovered from the twig (6), leaf (2) and fruit (2) of A. nilotica. Extracts revealed better antifungal activity, with isolates T3, L1 and F1 exerting the highest inhibition zones (20.6, 20 and 18.3 mm, respectively) against Aspergillus niger. Isolates T4 and T5 revealed the highest antiradical effect with IC50 values of 302 and 478 µg/mL respectively. Chemical analysis revealed that gallic acid and naringenin were the dominant compounds. Their pattern divided the endophytic fungi into two categories; gallic acid- rich endophytes including isolates L1 and L2 (isolated from the leaf) as well as isolates T4 and T2 (isolated from the twig). The other category was naringenin- rich endophytes comprised isolates F1 and F2, which were isolated from the fruit, and isolates T1, T3, T5 and T6 isolated from the twig. Moreover, extracts accumulated gallic acid were devoid of naringenin and the opposite was true. This behavior was not detected in the host plant where these two compounds coexist and identified in all extracts.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133716531","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}

This research successfully produced IONPs by hydrothermally reacting iron rust and Aloe vera gel plant extract at 100 oC for 18 hours in an autoclave cell. IONPs were produced to prevent detrimental effects on human health by degrading methylene blue dye (MB). IONPs were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The small crystalline size (19 nm), and (inverse cubic) structure (magnetite) of (Fe3O4 NPs) 600 oC were explained by measurements of XRD, whereas small crystalline (Fe902O) NPs of 300 oC were of 28 nm. FESEM revealed that the particle size of (Fe3O4) NPs at 600 oC using an aloe vera extract was (26.80 to 37.96) nm, whereas Fe902O (wustite) at 300 oC was tiny and crystalline at (31.63 to 130.3) nm. The strong absorption band for Fe3O4 NPs (magnetites) at 600 °C with aloe vera is explained by the FT-IR spectra. The absorption peak was high at (650) cm-1 and corresponded to the Fe-O series of Fe902O NPs at 300 oC. When the spectra showed the absorption peak, it was strong. Iron oxide NPs have been used for a short time in environmental treatment to remove MB dye. For 40 minutes of IONPs (Fe3O4), the results of degradation effectiveness (95%) were 300 oC for MB dye, but degradation efficiency (91%) was 75 minutes of IONPs (Fe902O) with aloe vera at 600 oC for MB dye.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133592968","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 present study used response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize extraction parameters for vanillin compounds from Vanilla planifolia beans from Madagascar. Three independent variables were evaluated that had a major impact on vanillin content: alcohol concentration, microwave power, and solvent/material (S/M) ratio. A central composite rotation design (CCRD) was used to develop the experimental design. The optimal conditions for microwave-assisted extraction to obtain higher vanillin yield in pods are 480 W for microwave power, 72% for alcohol concentration, and 30 ml/g for Solvent/Material ratio, with an irradiation time of 60 min. The conventional Soxhlet method is less efficient than microwave extraction to extract vanillin from pods. In the traditional extraction, the optimal conditions were an extraction time of 16 hours for 90% ethanol as the solvent. The experimental values are close to those predicted by the obtained mathematical model. Vanilla extracts are analyzed by UV Visible spectrophotometry and HPLC.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115123215","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}

Twenty Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study. They were placed in metabolic cages, with one rat per cage. Urine samples were collected every day during the study period. Biochemıcal values were measured in urine and blood. The rats were sacrificed, and their kidneys were removed and evaluated histopathologically after staining with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and Pizzolato's (PZ) staining methods. The biochemical parameters observed in the urine samples collected from the experimental group of rats exhibited more excellent proximity to the negative control group's corresponding values than those of the positive control group. Upon microscopic examination of histological sections, a notable resemblance in histological architecture was discerned between the experimental and negative control groups. Additionally, a reduction in the incidence of stone formation was observed in the experimental group when contrasted with the positive control group. In light of the outcomes elucidated herein, it can be deduced that the administration of Viburnum opulus (VO) water engenders an augmenting impact on citrate levels. This elevation in citrate concentration holds potential significance as it demonstrates the potential to curtail crystal formation. Notably, citrate ions exhibit an inhibitory role in the genesis of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals, thereby contributing to the prevention.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115594212","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}

DN is developed due to chronic hyperglycemia which is related with generation of oxidative stress (OS) and alteration in the neuronal function. This study was envisaged to find the desirable neuroprotective outcomes of natural antioxidants i.e., lycopene and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as monotherapy or concomitant administration in rats subjected to DN induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Single subcutaneous dose of STZ (55 mg/kg) was used to induce DN in male wistar rats (200–250 g). Significant neuropathy was observed after four weeks of streptozotocin injection. Neuropathy was evaluated by behavioral parameters using mechanical allodynia, mechanical hyperalgesia, heat/thermal hyperalgesia and walking track analysis. Oxidative stress was determined by assessment of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), and nitric oxide (NO) in homogenate of sciatic nerve. STZ significantly alters all the behavioral as well as biochemical parameters. Treatment with lycopene (5mg/kg/p.o.), CoQ10 (10mg/kg, p.o.) and their combination for four weeks significantly reduced blood glucose level. The behavioural and biochemical alteration was significantly improved with the combination of lycopene and CoQ10. The combination of both the antioxidants significantly reversed the streptozotocin induced neuropathy in rats compared to alone antioxidants as well as diabetic neuropathy group. It is concluded that neuroprotective effect of lycopene, CoQ10 alone and in combination might be due to their strong antioxidant property.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"265 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133473396","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}

It is used in folk medicine to treat diabetes, inﬂammation, pain and diarrhea; however, most of the species have no scientiﬁc validation for such activities. This review aims to compile information about the genus Ceiba in Brazil, to update and allow an integrated understanding of its medicinal uses, chemical composition, and biological activities. Methodology: Ceiba species reported in Flora e Funga do Brasil were used for this literature review, using ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar as articles databases. Results: In traditional use, the most cited species was C. pentandra (25 citations), the most used part was stem/bark (30 citations), preparation method was decoction (19 citations), and main administration route was oral ingestion (12 reports) for digestive system, skin and subcutaneous tissues diseases treatment. Genus chemical composition is wide, presenting metabolites such as proteins, sugars, fatty acids, tannins, ﬂavonoids, and alkaloids. Bioactivities as antidiabetic, antioxidant, antitumor and antimicrobial were observed, especially for C. pentandra. Conclusion: Some species of Ceiba have extensive scientiﬁc literature, presenting several isolated compounds and bioactivities. On the other hand, some species, especially those that are endemics only in Brazil, do not have studies that evaluate their biological properties.

Its leaves possess several biological activities and are commonly marketed as filters. However, despite some ethnomedicinal and pharmacological studies with Bixa orellana leaves having been published, there is a lack of review articles that collect this information. In addition, the few studies about the quality parameters of these filters must be addressed jointly so that the usefulness of existing information can be better addressed in the discussion of commercial regulation. In this way, this review aims to compile systematically useful information about the medicinal use and pharmacology of B. orellana leaves, in addition to channeling the studies on the quality parameters of filters, which in turn can define the quality, efficacy and safety of the marketed products. As a result of the review, the searches showed that the leaves of B. orellana are traditionally used for various purposes, including treatment of headache, bronchitis, and inflammation, in addition to using as a diuretic, analgesic, antiophidic, among others. These findings were corroborated by pharmacological studies, which also point to other biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neurodepressant and gastrointestinal modulator through the administration of leaf extracts. Finally, stability and extraction yield studies were also important in providing data for implementing quality control of B. orellana products.","PeriodicalId":394827,"journal":{"name":"Natural Resources for Human Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124365578","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}
