    Introduction/Aim. Herbs have been a vital renewable source of medicine throughout human history as a large proportion of the global population still depends on them for their health benefits. The increasing popularity of herbal supplements has raised an obvious concern about the overall safety and potential interaction with other drugs in situ. The intent was to spur future research on herb-drug interactions as well as the mechanisms of interaction to understand the consequences of such interactions. Methods. The review was conducted by a systematic search of relevant literature using the databases of Google Scholar, Science Direct, Mendeley, Scopus, and PubMed. Publications written in English were used. Many herbal products are reported to exhibit herb-drug interaction with known orthodox medicines. The inhibition-induction mechanism triggers chain reactions which often result in reduced drug bioavailability, toxicities, or undesirable side effects. Some herbal phytoconstituents reportedly bind CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, and CYP3A1 among numerous others temporarily or irreversibly. Conclusion. The study was concluded by reiterating the imperativeness to routinely and regularly inform both physicians and patients of the inherent dangers such as reduced efficacy and increased toxicities associated with herb-drug interactions (HDI). Herb users should be regularly advised on the appropriate use of herbal supplements to avoid the risk of adverse drug interactions during co-administrations or in combination therapies. As both synergistic and antagonistic effects could be observed in HDI, further preclinical and clinical empirical studies are required to underscore the mechanism and extent of HDI.

    The present study evaluated the effects of ginger and bitterleaf tea infusions on redox and inflammatory balance in rats. Twenty-four Wistar rats with weights of between 160 and 180 g were assigned into four (4) groups (n = 6). The control group received distilled water, while the remaining groups were administered tea infusions of ginger, bitterleaf, or a combination of both at 5 mg/mL, respectively. Bitterleaf and ginger teas elevated the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and reduced glutathione in rat plasma and liver, while malondialdehyde levels decreased. Furthermore, ginger tea caused an increase in the expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). The GC-MS analysis of the teas identified 77 chemical compounds, among which gingerol and precocene I were predominant. Collectively, the findings indicate, in particular, that ginger tea may boost antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity by increasing Nrf-2 levels.

    Vernonia amygdalina Delile, which is in the Asteraceae family, is used as food and medicine all over the world, especially in Africa and Asia. This review reports the phytochemical, ethnopharmacological, phyto-cosmeceutical, and toxicological potentials of the plant. Recent scientific exploration of the plant has mainly focused on both its nutritional potential and ethnopharmacological properties. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, hematological, anti-plasmodial, antimicrobial, anticancer, neurological, cosmeceutical, and other pharmacological values of V. amygdalina continue to be extensively explored. Many empirical studies of the therapeutic potential of the plant have attributed the ethnomedicinal properties of the plant to its phytochemical constituents, which include glycosides, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, etc. Compounds obtained from the leaves, root, stem, and flowers, which include vemoniosides, vernoamyosides, vernoniamyosides, vernoniosides, vernolide, vernodalol, vernodalin, vernomenin, vernomygdin, vernodalinol, epivernodalol, vernolepin, coumarins, luteolin, edotides, etc. have been identified as bioactive constituents responsible for numerous pharmacological activities of the plant. In addition, the toxicological evaluation of the plant revealed that it is safe for consumption at relatively high concentrations.

    Abstract Background The course of monkeypox can be severe. Our aim was to retrospectively compare the risk of hospital admission, the need for ventilation, sepsis, pneumonitis and death between the recent outbreak and historical outbreaks. Materials and Methods Cases of monkeypox were retrieved from the TriNetX database and assigned to either cohort I (recent outbreak between May 1st and September 16th, 2022) and cohort II (historical outbreaks before May 1st, 2022). After matching for age distribution, statistical analysis was performed. Results Of 640 patients with monkeypox 81 subjects per cohort remained after matching (mean age±standard deviation = 36.1±18.3 years). Within 56 days after diagnosis 10 patients per cohort were hospitalized (12.4%) and/or developed sepsis (12.4%). The risk of ventilation and pneumonitis were significantly lower among cohort I compared with cohort II (0 vs. 10 cases; risk difference = 12.4%; p = 0.001; Log-Rank test). No cases of death were recorded. Conclusion Even though monkeypox provides a risk of severe courses, the infection is self-limiting in most cases. Unlike past outbreaks, the risk of ventilation and pneumonitis may be relatively low among recent outbreaks.

    The study aimed to provide sustainable alternatives to reduce industries’ over-reliance on edible vegetable oil for alkyd resin preparation as applicable in paint production. Alkyd resins were synthesized and characterized from sponge (Luffa aegyptiaca) seed oil. Condensation polymerization of monoglyceride with phthalic and maleic anhydride was carried out, and physico-chemical parameters such as drying time, total solids, viscosity, and chemical resistance were investigated following standard procedures. UV–visible, FT-IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopies were used to characterize the prepared alkyd resins. Sponge seed oil alkyd resins prepared with maleic anhydride (SPOMA) had a higher percentage yield (77.56%) than sponge seed oil prepared using phthalic anhydride (SPOPA) with 64.44%. The two alkyd resins showed a better drying time of 40 – 50 min than their commercial counterparts (70 min). This was attributed to the high degree of unsaturation of the seed oil due to the considerable proportion of linoleic acid in the seed oil. The alkyd resins were largely stable in 0.1 M HCl, 5% NaCl, and 0.1 M KOH, which caused the alkyd resins to whiten and shrink. The resins were generally soluble in xylene, kerosene, and petroleum ether. The nature of the alkyd resin can be described as nonpolar. This observation was consistent with the literature report. This study concluded that quality or industrial-grade alkyd resins could be prepared from sponge seed oil and thereby serve as a cheap and viable replacement for edible oils used in industries.

    Abstract Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules and protect the body from the effects of free radicals, produced either by normal cell metabolism or as an effect of pollution and exposure to other external factors and are responsible for premature aging and play a role in cardiovascular disease. degenerative diseases such as cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. While many antioxidants are found in nature, others are obtained in synthetic form and reduce oxidative stress in organisms. This review highlights the pharmacological relevance of antioxidants in fruits, plants, and other natural sources and their beneficial effect on human health through the analysis and in‐depth discussion of studies that included phytochemistry and their pharmacological effects. The information obtained for this review was collected from several scientific databases (ScienceDirect, TRIP database, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science), professional websites, and traditional medicine books. Current pharmacological studies and evidence have shown that the various natural antioxidants present in some fruits, seeds, foods, and natural products have different health‐promoting effects. Adopting functional foods with high antioxidant potential will improve the effective and affordable management of free radical diseases while avoiding the toxicities and unwanted side effects caused by conventional medication.

    The antisickling and anti-oxidative effect of the Cajanus cajan, Glycine max, and their blends were investigated in sickled erythrocytes. The powdered samples were analyzed for their nutritional and anti-nutritional constituents. Their aqueous extracts were analyzed for in vitro antioxidant activities. The extracts were incubated with sickled erythrocytes at 37°C for 6 hours and the antisickling effect examined via microscopic analysis. The blend was the most active and its incubated cells were subjected to anti-oxidative analysis which covers for GSH, SOD, catalase, and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Chemical functional group of the treated cells was analyzed with FTIR spectroscopy. The in silico binding of the predominant amino acid to hemoglobin was also investigated. An increased concentration of leucine was observed in the blend compared to that of C. cajan and G. max, respectively. Vitamins C, B6, and B9 were the only vitamins observed in the blend. Phytate and oxalate were present in all samples. All extracts displayed significant (p < .05) scavenging activities. Treatment with the blend exacerbated SOD and catalase activities as well as the GSH level, while suppressing LPO. FTIR analysis of the treated cells showed the presence of hydrophobic functional groups. Leucine was the predominant amino acid, and it showed a potent molecular interaction with HIS-87 residue of the alpha chain of 1HCO. C. cajan and G. max blend inhibited sickling activities of sickle erythrocytes, while concomitantly exacerbating their endogenous antioxidant enzymes activity and modification of the functional chemistry. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Cajanus cajan and Glycine max are among the common underutilized legumes in Nigeria. Aside their nutritional properties, these legumes have been used from time immemorial for the treatment and management of various ailments. Sickle cell anemia is a class of hemoglobinopathy common in Sub-Saharan Africa. There have been concerns about its treatment owing to the increasing scourge of the disease coupled to the financial burden of its management. This study reports the ability of the potentials of the legumes to prevent sickling activities of sickled erythrocytes and the possible biochemical mechanism involved.

    BACKGROUND The high polyunsaturated fatty acids content of rabbit meat predisposes it to oxidative deteriorations, which often result in reduced product quality and shelf life. This fact highlights the need to promote the antioxidant status of rabbit meat. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of Allium cepa skin (ACS) on growth, carcass, intramuscular fat, muscle fatty acids, cholesterol content, meat quality, antioxidant status, and sensory attributes of hind leg muscle of rabbits. Sixty-three, 28 d old, male New Zealand rabbits (654±25 g) were randomly allocated into 21 pens of three rabbits. The pens were randomly assigned to one of the three dietary treatments namely ACS-0, basal diet (BD) only; ACS-25, BD + 25 g kg-1 ACS; and ACS-50, BD + 50 g kg-1 ACS, for 56 d, and euthanized. RESULTS Dietary ACS did not affect growth performance, and retail cuts of rabbits. Muscle cholesterol was lower (P < 0.05) in ACS-supplemented rabbits compared to controls. Dietary ACS lowered (P < 0.05) dissectible fat, intramuscular fat content, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:2n-6 and C20:4n-6 levels, and enhanced (P < 0.05) C18:3n-3, C20:5n-3, C22:6n-3, and C22:5n-3 concentration. Dietary ACS increased muscle catalase activity in rabbits. Sensory qualities, malondialdehyde and carbonyl contents, and physicochemical attributes of hind leg muscle of rabbits over chill storage were not influenced by dietary ACS supplementation. CONCLUSION Supplementation with 50 g kg-1 ACS reduced intramuscular fat and cholesterol content and improved muscle n-3 fatty acids without impairing the physicochemical and sensory properties of rabbit meat.
