Unveiling the antitumor mechanism of 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone from Plect...

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive and prevalent glioma within the central nervous system. Despite considerable efforts, GB continues to exhibit a dismal 5-year survival rate (∼6%). This is largely attributed to unfavorable prognosis and lack of viable treatment options. Therefore, novel therapies centered around plant-derived compounds emerge as a compelling avenue to enhance patient survival and well-be...

Editorial: III Bio.Natural-bioactive natural products research meeting: pharmac...

This Research Topic arises from the III Bio.Natural - Bioactive Natural Products Research Meeting, held on July 13–14, 2023, a forum dedicated to exploring the vast potential of natural products. Building on the success of the first two editions in 2019 and 2021 in Lisbon, this third edition continues to emphasize the significant contributions of natural products research, particularly their pharmacological pro...

Strategies to enhance the response of liver cancer to pharmacological treatments

In contrast to other types of cancers, there is no available efficient pharmacological treatment to improve the outcomes of patients suffering from major primary liver cancers, i.e., hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. This dismal situation is partly due to the existence in these tumors of many different and synergistic mechanisms of resistance, accounting for the lack of response of these patients...

Effect of extraction methodology on the phytochemical composition for camelia s...

(1) Background: beverages based on extracts from Camellia sinensis are popular worldwide. Due to an increasing number of processed teas on the market, there is a need to develop unified classification standards based on chemical analysis. Meanwhile, phytochemical characterizations are mainly performed on tea samples from China (~80%). Hence, data on teas of other provenances is recommended. (2) Methods: in the ...

Phytochemical characterization and biological activities of green tea (Camellia...

Background: Green tea is not only one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, but is also known for its health promoting and therapeutic effects. Green tea is cultivated in areas with high humidity and acidic soils in China, Indonesia and Japan. Those places have well-marked dry and rainy seasons. In opposite, Azores have a climate with constant average annual rainfall and, unlike eastern regions, rela...

Salvia ceratophylla L. from South of Jordan: new insights on chemical compositi...

In Jordan, Salvia ceratophylla L. is traditionally used in the treatment of cancer, microbial infections, and urinary disorders. This study aimed: (1) to chemically characterize S. ceratophylla essential oil (EO) from South Jordan, by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS); and (2) to evaluate in vitro the cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antiprotozoal activities of the EO, it...
