Doenças neurodegenerativas (DN) são desordens altamente debilitantes relacionadas ao envelhecimento, e a disfunção mitocondrial, estresse oxidativo e nitrosativo (EON) têm sido associados com as manifestações clínicas desse grupo de patologias. As mitocôndrias se destacam como organelas cruciais na relação entre a neurodegeneração e a neuroinflamação, e nesse sentido, os polifenóis são considerados promissores enquanto fármacos que têm como alvo as mitocôndrias. Compostos fenólicos são capazes de regular as mitocôndrias através do controle de seu estado redox, função e sistema apoptótico. Neste trabalho investigou-se o potencial neuroprotetor dos extratos de Araucaria angustifolia (AAE) e Camellia sinensis (GT), bem como de seis compostos isolados (resveratrol, ácido gálico, ácido elágico, catequina, epicatequina e proantocianidinas) em um modelo de neurodegeneração usando ácido quinolínico (AQ). Células gliais U87-MG foram pré-tratadas com AAE ou GT ou um dos compostos fenólicos por 1 hora e, então, expostas ao AQ por 24 horas. As células expostas ao AQ apresentaram diminuição da viabilidade, produção exacerbada de espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs), redução do potencial de membrana mitocondrial e aumento da resposta inflamatória. Apesar dos resultados similares encontrados com o GT e o AAE, este último se destacou por ser capaz de prevenir todos os parâmetros testados neste trabalho. Em conclusão, sugere-se que o AAE apresenta-se como um agente em potencial para a prevenção de DN relacionadas com a disfunção mitocondrial associada ao EON.

Abstract A description is provided for Cylindrocladium clavatum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Araucaria angustifolia, Camellia sinensis, Eucalyptus saligna and Pinus. DISEASE: Occasionally associated with Cylindrocladium floridanum[Calonectria kyotensis] and Cylindrocarpon tenue on rotting roots of unthrifty tea bushes in Mauritius. Associated with a root disease of dying 10-15 year old trees of Araucaria angustifolia (Hodges & May, 1972). Roots of such trees are pitch-soaked and copiously exude resin, causing large quantities of soil to stick to the roots, thus resembling in symptomatology the brown root rot caused by Phellinus noxius. Also isolated from the roots of dying trees of several species of Pinus (Hodges & May, 1972). The pine needles on affected trees turn bright yellow, droop and finally turn brick red. Roots were pitch-soaked but resin exudation was slight. Also isolated from seedlings of Eucalyptus saligna (Hodges & May, 1972). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Brazil, Mauritius. TRANSMISSION: The pathogen is soil-borne.

Background: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are robustly used biomedicine. Moreover, no study has been conducted to explore the consequence of green synthesis of ZnO NPs with Camellia sinensis (green tea extract, GTE) on kidneys of rats treated with monosodium glutamate (MSG). Methods: Therefore, the objective of the research was designed to explore the possible defensive effect of GTE/ZnO NPs against MSG-induced renal stress investigated at redox and histopathological points. Results: The levels of urea and creatinine increased as the effect of a high dose of MSG, in addition, the myeloperoxidase and xanthine oxidase activates were elevated significantly with the high dose of MSG. The levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (uric acid, glutathione, and thiol) were decreased sharply in MSG-treated rats as compared to the normal group. Conclusion: The data displayed that GTE/ZnO NPs reduced the effects of MSG significantly by reduction of the level peroxidation and enhancement intracellular antioxidant. These biochemical findings were supported by histopathology evaluation, which showed minor morphological changes in the kidneys of rats.

Background: Tea (Camellia sinensis, Theaceae) is the second most consumed beverage in the world. Green tea is the least processed and thus contain rich antioxidant level, and believed to have most of the health benefits. </p><p> Methods: We commenced to search bibliographic collection of peer reviewed research articles and review articles to meet the objective of this study. </p><p> Results: From this study, we found that the tea beverage contains catechins are believed to have a wide range of health benefits which includes neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic effects. The four major catechin compounds of green tea are epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and epicatechin gallate (ECG), of which EGCG is the major constituent and representing 50-80% of the total catechin content. And also contain xanthine derivatives such as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, and the glutamide derivative theanine. It also contains many nutritional components, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, fluoride, and potassium. We sum up the various green tea phytoconstituents, extraction methods, and its medicinal applications. </p><p> Conclusion: In this review article, we have summarized the pharmacological importance of green tea catechin which includes antioxidant potential, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and cosmetic application.
