TL;DR: The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the same alkaloids led to the identification of cryptolepine and quindoline as the major components of S. acuta from Burkina Faso.

TL;DR: In this paper, Carica papaya leaves were extracted with methanol in a Soxhlet apparatus and later with a liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with the aim of identifying and quantifying secondary metabolites from this plant, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the selected ion-monitoring (SIM) mode.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the anti-proliferative effects of honey are due mainly to the presence of chrysin, and Chrysin may be considered a potential candidate for both cancer prevention and treatment.

TL;DR: The presence of manganese (Mn) in rat basal ganglia, which are target regions of the brain for Mn toxicity, is studied at the ultrastructural level to provide insight into new avenues of investigating the role of Mn in the normal brain and a baseline for future Mn toxicity studies.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the antibacterial activity of blossom honeys is mainly mediated by H2O2 levels present in honeys which are affected mainly by polyphenolic substances and not directly by GOX content.
