Capsicum species are widely cultivated yet their full industrial potential remains underexplored due to limited characterization of physicochemical and phytochemical descriptors. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated 284 accessions address gap assess suitability for applications across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic sectors. Key quality descriptors—such as capsaicinoids, soluble solids, carotenoids, color index, pH, texture—were measured statistical clustering methods, including...
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease; however, the mechanisms involved in early onset atherosclerosis these patients are not clear. Scavenger receptors, CD36 and CD163 expressed by mononuclear phagocytes participate binding uptake oxidized low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL), contributing to foam-cells formation development. The aim present study was evaluate CD36+ CD163+ expression Ox-LDL removal monocytes from SLE...
The sugar cane industry has seen how biomass production in mills would be converted to a readily available source of molecules besides sugar. Properly managed, byproducts transformed into sustainable renewable and environmentally friendly chemical products. As principal more abundant organic acid juice, trans-aconitic (TAA) been studied for use as plasticizer the polymer industry. However, up now no industrial-scale application reported. reasonable approach recover TAA from mill, first, an...
Abstract Introduction – The lack of pharmacopoeial methodologies for the quality control plants used therapeutic purposes is a huge problem that impacts directly upon public health. In case saponins, their great structural complexity, weak glycoside bonds and high polarity hinder identification by conventional techniques. Objective To apply high‐performance liquid chromatography–electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐ESI/MS n ) to identify O ‐glycoside sequence saponins from roots...

Plant extracts from the genus Cecropia have been used by Latin-American traditional medicine to treat metabolic disorders and diabetes. Previous results shown that roots of telenitida contain pentacyclic triterpenes these molecules display a hypoglycemic effect in an insulin-resistant murine model. The pharmacological target molecules, however, remains unknown. Several lines evidence indicate inhibit 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme, which highlights potential use this natural...
Sacha inchi oil is a premier raw material with highly nutritional and functional features for the foodstuff, pharmaceutical, beauty, personal care industries. One of most important facts about this huge chemical content unsaturated polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, current available information on characterization triglyceride composition advance physicochemical parameters relevant to emulsion development limited. Therefore, research focused providing detailed description lipid using...
This study aimed at developing a multiproduct biorefinery scheme for vinase valorization. It involved the extraction of trans-aconitic acid, its transformation into biopolymers using microwave irradiation and use raffinated-vinasse biogas production. Each technology was assessed individually, followed by process integration bench scale, from which mass balance calculated, supporting feasibility approach. As renewable source derived residue, these bioproducts can replace crude-oil-based...
Abstract Through the action of glycosyltransferases, a plant can biosynthetically assemble small different aglycons or 'templates' to various polysaccharides produce numerous glycoconjugates differing in type attached aglycon, anomeric configuration C‐1 glycosylating sugar, sugar and position attachments unit present polysaccharide chain. The create opportunity generate molecules with either same very close molecular weights, which have relative structural similarity – forming isobaric...
The marine sponge Ectyoplasia ferox produces antipredatory and allelopathic triterpenoid glycosides as part of its chemical defense repertoire against predators, competitors, fouling organisms. These molecules are responsible for the pharmacological potential found in present this species. In order to observe glycochemical diversity E. ferox, a liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry approach analyse complex polar fraction was performed. This gave valuable information about...
Introduction: Cannabis has a historical role for pharmacological analgesia/anaesthesia, as well dental anxiety.Fast-forward to today's scientific literature, there are many considerations regarding the of cannabis in dentistry.We examine endocannabinoid system and its modulation from perspective.Whilst smoking been associated with poor health, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) intoxication can result tachycardia acute hypertension, (which could cause drug-drug interaction sedation anaesthesia),...
Promising research over the past decades has shown that some types of pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs) are associated with prevention type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially those found in foods. The most abundant edible sources PTs belonging to ursane and oleanane scaffold. principal finding is Cecropia telenitida contains PT similar oxygenation patterns food matrices. We studied compositional profile a rich fraction (DE16-R) carried out viability test different cell lines. biosynthetic pathway...
Abstract This paper's objective is twofold. First, it aims to demonstrate that the emergence of a powerful social movement in rural region triggers period intense transformations with unpredictable outcomes and widely varied, even contradictory, implications for development – which can be positive negative, intentional unintentional. The second improve understanding causes explaining such diverse order identify factors processes promote thwart alternative agendas. While movements often...
Plant extracts from Cecropia genus have been used by Latin-American traditional medicine to treat metabolic disorders and diabetes. Previous reports shown that roots of telenitida contains serjanic acid as one the most prominent representative pentacyclic triterpenes. The study aimed isolate evaluate its effect in a prediabetic murine model oral administration. A semi-pilot scale extraction was established purification followed using direct MALDI-TOF analysis. diet induced obesity mouse...
Abstract Introduction Cecropia angustifolia Trécul. is a native Andean plant containing high levels of pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs), including several isobaric molecules that serve as chemical markers. Preclinical studies suggest PTs positively modulate metabolic and vascular diseases. However, their low oral absorption reduces bioactive effects. Objective The objective this study was (1) to improve the from C. (2) establish platform produce biomass or botanical reference material using...
Abstract Introduction Cannabis sativa is a highly versatile plant with long history of cultivation and domestication. It produces multiple compounds that exert distinct valuable therapeutic effects by modulating diverse biological systems, including the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Access to standardized, metabolically diverse, reproducible C. chemotypes chemovars essential for physicians optimize individualized patient treatment industries conduct drug‐discovery campaigns. Objective This...
An imperative event in foam cells generation the atherosclerosis is LDL oxidation. When this particle oxidized they are recognized by macrophage which begins to convert on reactive producing growing factor and inducing replication of smooth muscle cells. The glication oxidative processes increase electronegativity its inflammatory effect; therefore inhibit that process as much proteic part lipid content can retard atherogenic events carried out particle. reduction kinetics a free radical...
