Female inflorescences of hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are wildly used in the brewing industry. Hops have been also used for ages in folk medicine. Xanthohumol (XN) is a most abundant prenylated flavonoid present in hops.

To determine pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of pure XN and XN given in prenylflavonoid extract obtained…[Read more]

The gold(i) complexes [μ-LiPr(AuX)2] X = Cl (1D), Br (2D), and I (3D); LiPr = 1,2-bis[bis(2-isopropylphenyl)phosphino]benzene were synthesised to investigate the photoluminescence properties of dinuclear Au complexes comprising weak Au(i)-Au(i) bonds. Single crystals of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) adducts 1DOR, 2DOR, and 3DOR were obtained by…[Read more]

To solve the stability and oxidation issues of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), this study focused on developing ALA nanoemulsion system (ALA-NE, oil-in-water) and evaluating the effect of environmental conditions on physical stability and the effect of antioxidants on oxidative stability. The physicochemical properties of nanoemulsions were measured…[Read more]
