This review examines how effectively different plants and their constituents reduce blood uric acid levels and lessen the predisposition to gout. Research has looked at the possible roles of oxidative stress markers, inflammatory pathways, important transport and signaling proteins, and the health benefits of different plants and their components in the development of GA. Plant remedies have been used for a long time to treat human and animal ailments. Most people in developing countries use traditional plant-based medicine for basic care due to its affordability, availability, and cultural acceptability. This review aims to gather comprehensive information on plants and their compounds that exhibit anti-gout activities, focusing on in vitro and in vivo investigations. The scientific database was searched by using different keywords, and papers published between March 2008 and December 2023 were considered. The inclusion criteria were publications on inflammatory mediators, free radicals, oxidative stress, or proteins in gout etiology or evolution, along with plant-based remedies. Finally, 27 publications based on inclusion and exclusion criteria reported the active compounds and analyzed parameters and outcomes of research carried out with these medicinal plants. This paper extensively explores the potential mechanism of employing medicinal herbs for the management of gout. However, more investigation is needed to fully comprehend the role that various biomarkers play in the development of GA, as well as to investigate the possible functions of different plants and the substances found in them.","PeriodicalId":515404,"journal":{"name":"The Natural Products Journal","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147902573","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}

Endophytic fungi have been shown to play an important role in the growth and metabolism of plants. Fermentation involving endophytic fungi tends to result in the production of new or more potent pharmacological compounds. Objective: The study aims to enhance the antioxidant activity of S. tuberosa by fermenting it with a symbiotic endophytic fungus. Methods: Seven symbiotic endophytic fungi were used to screen and ferment S. tuberosa to improve antioxidant activity estimated by 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The chemical constituent changes were characterized by ultraviolet (UV) spectrum and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Results: Penicillium expansum STRB13, an endophytic fungus associated with S. tuberosa, was screened for its ability to enhance antioxidant capacity through fermentation. The fermentation of S. tuberosa using P. expansum STRB13 significantly improved its DPPH radical scavenging activity, achieving an IC50 value of 24.2 μg/mL. Additionally, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the fermented sample was fourteen times greater, measuring 388.1 ± 32.6 μmol/L compared to 27.5 ± 1.0 μmol/L in the blank sample. Differences observed between the blank and P. expansum STRB13 fermented S. tuberosa (FST) in UV spectra and HPLC analysis indicated the production of new aromatic phenolic compounds through fermentation, which contributed to the enhanced antioxidant activity. Conclusion: This is the first time reporting on the fermentation processing of S. tuberosa with symbiotic endophytic fungus. This study revealed that P. expansum STRB13 FST will be an alternative natural antioxidant. Fermentation with symbiotic endophytic fungus is a new approach to processing TCM and discovering new compounds.","PeriodicalId":515404,"journal":{"name":"The Natural Products Journal","volume":"16 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147889956","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}

For TNBC, some of the most popular types of treatments are resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Several studies are being carried out for the development of novel treatment approaches for improved TNBC diagnosis. As our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms behind the development of cancer has grown, a vast array of anticancer drugs has been developed. The use of chemically produced pharmaceuticals has not significantly raised the overall survival rate over the previous few decades. As such, novel approaches and cutting-edge chemopreventive medications are needed to improve the efficacy of existing TNBC therapies. Naturally occurring compounds derived from plants called phytochemicals are valuable resources for the development of novel medications for TNBC treatment. These phytochemicals often function by modulating molecular pathways associated with the onset and propagation of TNBC. Some of the specific methods include boosting antioxidant status, deactivating carcinogens, stopping proliferation, inducing cell cycle arrest, promoting apoptosis, and immune system modulation. This review's main goal is to give a summary of the active components of natural products, together with details on their molecular targets, pharmacological action, and current level of understanding. Several natural compounds that particularly target the pathways linked to TNBC in our study have been thoroughly described by us. We have done extensive research on many natural substances that could lead to the discovery of new targets for TNBC treatment.","PeriodicalId":515404,"journal":{"name":"The Natural Products Journal","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147893794","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}

Methods: The multiple skin care activities of 4-HD, including skin whitening, anti-allergy, and antiinflammation, were evaluated on enzymatic and cellular models. 4-HD showed a significant inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase, and it could also strongly suppress the activity of tyrosinase in B16F10 cells. A molecular docking study revealed that 4-HD could closely bind to tyrosinase through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Results: In the anti-allergic assay, 4-HD could effectively reduce the degranulation rate in the neutral red staining test and largely down-regulate the release level of β-HEX in RBL-2H3 cells at the concentration of 5 μM. 4-HD decreased the production of NO in RAW264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), showing its anti-inflammatory effect.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to comprehensively investigate and systematically review the existing literature on the effects of soy isoflavones and their underlying mechanisms in mitigating MIRI injuries. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in high-coverage scientific databases, including Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library. On 6th December, 2023, an extensive literature search was done using predefined search terms (According to MeSH terms) and inclusion criteria. Any studies that investigated the effects of soy isoflavones on MIRI injuries were included. Search strategy, screening of the publications, and data extraction were performed following PRISMA guidelines 2020. Results: Diverse mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effects of soy isoflavones against MIRI include antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced mitochondrial function, regulation of apoptosis pathways, improving angiogenesis effects, attenuating heart histological changes, modulating factors that affect hemodynamic changes, and reducing Ca+2 overload. Although most studies reported promising effects in reducing the complications of MIRI, a small number of studies also showed no significant effect in this regard. Also, they did not report any specific side effects from consuming isoflavones alone. Conclusion: The findings suggest that soy isoflavones as a complementary therapeutic strategy potentially benefit MIRI outcomes and support their role in cardiovascular health. However, further well-designed clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and establish their clinical significance in cardiovascular disease management.","PeriodicalId":515404,"journal":{"name":"The Natural Products Journal","volume":"15 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147917498","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 antimicrobial action of extracts and phytochemical compounds\u0000from different parts of cactus has been shown in different scientific experiments against bacteria,\u0000fungi, and viruses, and their therapeutic potentials have been reported, thus contributing to a decrease\u0000in drug resistance. This article presents a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the\u0000antimicrobial activity of Opuntia ficus-indica and the role of its phytocompounds in the fight against\u0000antimicrobial resistance.\u0000","PeriodicalId":515404,"journal":{"name":"The Natural Products Journal","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141680926","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}
