Three terpenoids, including two diterpenes (curcusone B and jatrophone) and a triterpene (stigmasterol) have been isolated from the stem bark of Jatropha plants. Curcusone B and stigmasterol were isolated from J. curcas, meanwhile jatrophone and stigmasterol were from J. gossypifolia. The biological activities of these compounds have been evaluated

This study was designed to determine antiproliferative properties of curcusone B from the stem bark of Jatropha curcas on cell lines K562 (chronic myelogeneous leukemia), and H1299 (human non-small cell lung carcinoma). Cells were cultured in the presence of curcusone B at various concentrations and the percentage of cell viability was evaluated by

A sequential process combining laser beam micromachining (LBMM) and micro electro-discharge machining (μEDM) for the micro-drilling purpose was developed to incorporate both methods’ benefits. In this sequential process, a guiding hole is produced through LBMM first, followed by μEDM applied to that same hole for more fine machining. This proce

Psychotria malayana Jack belongs to the Rubiacea and is widespread in Southeast Asian coun- tries. It is traditionally used to treat diabetes. Despite its potential medicinal use, scientific proof of this pharmacological action and the toxic effect of this plant are still lacking. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the in vitro antidiabetic and

Whole genome duplication (WGD) has occurred in relatively few sexually reproducing invertebrates. Consequently, the WGD that occurred in the common ancestor of horseshoe crabs ~135 million years ago provides a rare opportunity to decipher the evolutionary consequences of a duplicated invertebrate genome. Here, we present a high-quality genome assem

Psychotria malayana Jack leaf, known in Indonesia as “daun salung”, is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. Despite its potential, the phytochemical study related to its anti-diabetic activity is still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to identify putative inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase, a prominent enzyme contrib
