TL;DR: Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the KRG extract revealed that its ethyl acetate–soluble fraction exerts significant cytotoxic activity against all human lung cancer cell lines tested by inducing apoptosis, providing experimental evidence for a novel biological activity of ginsenoside Rg3 againsthuman lung cancer cells.

TL;DR: Findings provide the first experimental evidence for potential use of B. platyphylla var.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that both compounds showed marginal inhibitory effects on adipocyte differentiation but did not affect osteoblast differentiation, and was the first study to demonstrate that the isolated compounds, 7-oxo-β- sitosterol and soyacerebroside I, were isolated in B. japonica.

TL;DR: Chemical investigation of the MeOH extract of W. somnifera roots combined with LC/MS-based analysis resulted in the identification of six new withanolides, withasilolides A-F (1-6), as well as seven known compounds (7-13).

TL;DR: Curcuzedoalide (5) was determined to be a contributor to the anti-inflammatory effect of C. zedoaria rhizomes and could be a potential candidate for therapeutic applications.
