In this article we describe the preparation of bioavailable microcapsules derived from spores clubmoss ( Lycopodium clavatum ) that are composed protein-free, non-allergenic, and porous sporopollenin, often described as nature’s most robust polymeric system. We adsorption magnetic materials onto exterior surfaces empty incorporation molecular passengers , thereby producing stable monodispersed,...

A series of Lycopodium alkaloids, namely lycosquarosine A (1), acetylaposerratinine (2), huperzine A (3), huperzine B (4), 8α-hydrophlemariurine B (5), and huperzinine (6), has been isolated from Vietnamese Huperzia squarrosa. Among them, lycosquarosine A (1) is the new metabolite of the natural source. Lycosquarosine A completely inhibited AChE activity in a dose dependent manner with an IC50 ...

Chronic feeding of carcinogens p-dimethylamino azobenzene (initiator) and phenobarbital (promoter) for 90 and 120 days elevated activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, levels of blood glucose and cortisol and decreased the activities of glutathione reductase, succinate dehydrogenase, and blood cholesterol and hemoglobin contents, and levels of serum estradiol and testosterone in mice.
