Summary: This study investigated the antihyperlipidemic effects of soursop and its underlying mechanisms using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The results identified 158 compounds in soursop, with 56 compounds being absorbable by the human body. Among them, 20 compounds were associated with cholesterol disease. The most potential target compounds for antihyperlipidemic effects were annomuricin, XDH, myocardial ischemia, and metabolic pathways. Molecular docking experiments confirmed the correlation between certain compounds in soursop and their target receptors. This research provides insights into the therapeutic effects and pathogenesis of hyperlipidemia, which can contribute to the development of new drugs and therapies.

Summary: This study examined the impact of chitosan hybrid coatings on the shelf life and quality of jackfruit bulbs. They compared bulbs treated with chitosan alone, chitosan-TiO2 hybrid coating, and chitosan-TiO2-ZnO-MgO hybrid coating. Results showed that the chitosan-TiO2-ZnO-MgO hybrid coating led to the longest shelf life with the least weight loss, improved antioxidant capacity, and higher levels of vitamin C, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. The coating was also found to be non-toxic according to the Artemia salina test.

Summary: Fruit losses and wastage are reduced by controlling postharvest diseases with pesticides. However, the excessive use of synthetic fungicides has negative effects on health and the environment, necessitating the search for new, harmless strategies. Elicitors, compounds of natural or biological origin, can induce plant defense systems and improve fruit's response against pathogens. Omics technologies, such as transcriptome and proteome analysis, have contributed to understanding the molecular aspects of plant defense system activation in response to elicitors.

Summary: The effects of lauroylation, acetylation, and succinylation on the prebiotic activity, antibacterial properties, and survival of L. paracasei of chemically modified fractions of native agave fructans were evaluated. The modified fructan fractions showed enhanced antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria and improved prebiotic effects. The impact of modification depended on the structure, size, polarity, degree of polymerization, and substitution of the fractions. These findings suggest that chemical modification of fructan fractions can enhance their functional properties, making them a potential alternative in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance the bioavailability of rosmarinic acid, a bioactive compound with high anticancer activity, by encapsulating it in tetrasulfide-based porous organosilica nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were small in size and had a high surface area and an average pore diameter. The nanoparticles showed effective accumulation in cancer cells without toxicity to normal cells. Treatment with rosmarinic acid-containing nanoparticles resulted in significant cell death in cancer cells. Overall, these findings suggest that the synthesized nanoparticles can enhance the pharmacological effects of rosmarinic acid.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
