TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 1-3, and 7 have anti-inflammatory effects and 5, 6, and 12 are potential anti- inflammation and cancer chemopreventive agents.

TL;DR: Compound 10 showed a significant inhibitory effect on the release of beta-glucuronidase from rat neutrophils stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)/cytochalasin B (CB) whereas compound 9 significantly inhibited superoxide anion formation in fMLP/CB-stimulated rat neutrophic cells.

TL;DR: Results suggest that flavonoids isolated from A. altilis may be candidate antioxidants and/or skin-whitening agents, however, further investigations are required to determine their mechanisms of action.

TL;DR: The synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystalline powders for cosmetic applications by a coprecipitation process has been investigated in this article, where the XRD pattern shows that only ZnO is present and no other phase is detected when the Zn(OH)2 precipitates calcined at 413 K for 10 min.

TL;DR: In this paper, a RES nanoparticle system (RESN) was proposed to circumvent the physicochemical drawbacks of raw RES with respect to dissolution, such as the reduction of particle size, amorphous transformation, and hydrogen-bond formation.
