TL;DR: This study is the first to report on phenylpropanoid esters with 4-methyl-1,4-pentanediol unit, and the anti-inflammatory mechanism through the inhibition of transcriptional iNOS protein expression was confirmed by western blotting experiments for the active compound 3, which showed decreased iNos protein expression.

TL;DR: Phytochemical investigation of the methanol (MeOH) extract of Pueraria lobata roots, known as “kudzu”, combined with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based analysis, resulted in the identification of four norlignans, including three new norlIGNans, lobatamunsolides A–C (1–3), and five known isoflavonoids (5–9).

TL;DR: Experimental evidence of a novel biological activity of 7α,15-dihydroxydehydroabietic acid (5) as a potential antiangiogenic substance is provided and it is suggested that compound 5 could potentially be a useful adjuvant therapeutic substance for cancer prevention and treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative analysis of cucurbitane-type triterpenoids of bitter melon (fruit of Momordica charantia L.) using ultraperformance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry revealed 27 promising cucurbitsane type triterbenoids.

TL;DR: In this article, the protection of white mulberry (Morus alba) fruits on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages was investigated.
