Characterization of Antioxidant and a-Glucosidase Inhibitory Compounds of Cratoxylum formosum ssp. pruniflorum and Optimization of Extraction Condition

Heewon An et al.

Summary: This study investigated the constituents and biological activity of Cratoxylum formosum ssp. pruniflorum. The extract of its leaves, roots, and stems showed antioxidant and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The metabolite profiles analysis revealed a significant difference between the roots and leaves, while the roots and stems were similar. Purification of the roots and leaves resulted in the isolation of 25 compounds, including xanthones, flavonoids, a benzophenone, and a phenolic compound.

Antineoplastic and Antitrypanosomal Properties of Propolis from Tetragonula biroi Friese

Samyah Alanazi

Summary: This study characterized the propolis produced by Philippine stingless bees and investigated its antitrypanosomal and anticancer properties. The results showed that the propolis demonstrated moderate antitrypanosomal and anticancer activities, which may be attributed to the combinatorial effect of 27-hydoxymangiferonic acid and 27-hydroxyisomangiferolic acid.

Anti-Fibrotic Potential of Tomentosenol A, a Constituent of Cerumen from the Australian Native Stingless Bee, Tetragonula carbonaria

Karina D. Hamilton et al.

Summary: Bioactivity-guided fractionation was used to isolate two compounds, tomentosenol A (1) and torellianone A (2), from a cerumen extract from Tetragonula carbonaria. The anti-fibrotic activity of tomentosenol A (1) was examined using human cultured neonatal foreskin fibroblasts (NFF) and immortalised keratinocytes (HaCaTs). Tomentosenol A (1) inhibited cell proliferation and prevented scratch wound repopulation, reduced cell viability, inhibited cell differentiation, collagen production, and acted as an effective scavenger of oxidant. These findings highlight the significant anti-fibrotic potential of tomentosenol A (1) derived from cerumen.

New compound from the plant origin of propolis from Lombok, Indonesia and its antibacterial activity

Sayaka Mizuno et al.

Summary: We identified the plant origin of propolis from Lombok, Indonesia as Calophyllum inophyllum Linn by observing the behavior of stingless bees and conducting LC-MS analysis. We also isolated a new chromanone derivative, calophylloidic acid A, from the resin of C. inophyllum and determined its structure using various analytical techniques. Furthermore, we found that the resin, propolis, and calophylloidic acid A exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
