Historical successes serve as an inspiration for the continued investigation of plant-derived natural products compounds in search of novel molecular templates from which new antimalarial drugs could be developed. The aim of this study was to identify potential chemical scaffolds for malaria drug discovery following analysis of historical data on phytochemicals screened in vitro against <i>P. falciparum</i>. To identify these novel scaffolds, we queried an in-house manually curated database of plant-derived natural product compounds and their in vitro biological data. Natural products were assigned to different structural classes using NPClassifier. To identify the most promising chemical scaffolds, we then correlated natural compound class with bioactivity and other data, namely (i) potency, (ii) resistance index, (iii) selectivity index and (iv) physicochemical properties. We used an unbiased scoring system to rank the different natural product classes based on the assessment of their bioactivity data. From this analysis we identified the top-ranked natural product pathway as the alkaloids. The top three ranked super classes identified were (i) pseudoalkaloids, (ii) naphthalenes and (iii) tyrosine alkaloids and the top five ranked classes (i) quassinoids (of super class triterpenoids), (ii) steroidal alkaloids (of super class pseudoalkaloids) (iii) cycloeudesmane sesquiterpenoids (of super class triterpenoids) (iv) isoquinoline alkaloids (of super class tyrosine alkaloids) and (v) naphthoquinones (of super class naphthalenes).

While our earlier study provided evidence of hepatoprotective properties contained within the flavonoids and limonins constituents in QAF, the potential preventative effects afforded by essential oil components present within QAF remains enigmatic. In this study, we prepared Quzhou Aurantii Fructus essential oil (QAFEO) and confirmed its anti-inflammatory effects on liver inflammation through experimentation on lipopolysaccharide and D-galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN) induced acute liver failure (ALF) mouse models. Using RNA-sequence (RNA-seq) analysis, we found that QAFEO prevented ALF by systematically blunting the pathways involved in response to LPS and toll-like receptor signaling pathways. QAFEO effectively suppressed the phosphorylation of tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), TGF-beta activated kinase 1 (TAK1), interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), and the activation of mitogen activated kinase-like protein (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, QAFEO substantially reduced myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)- toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) interaction levels. Moreover, 8 compounds from QAFEO could directly bind to REAL, TAK1, MyD88, TBK1, and IRF3.

The potential mechanisms of anxiolytic action of the extract was evaluated after pre-treated with flumazenil, granisetron, methysergide, or pizotifen, all at 1 × 10<sup>−3</sup> mg mL<sup>−1</sup>. The extract significantly decreased anxiety behaviours in the NT and LD tests.
