Phytoecdysteroids exert significant anti-inflammatory effects, which makes them valuable ingredients in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. However, data on their use cosmetics are limited. Here, a new formulation with the extract of Serratula coronata herb containing phytoecdysteroids was developed. The aim this study to perform physicochemical characteristics evaluate safety creams S. coron...

Phytoecdysteroids are analogues of arthropod steroid hormones found in plants, where they deter predation by non-adapted predators. Their discovery in several plant species displayed a wide array of rather beneficial agricultural impact. An overview is given on both well-known and recently discovered phytoecdyteroids including a sophisticated isolation scheme and notable physiological and pharm...

Phytoecdysteroids such as 20-hydroxyecdysone (20HE) are nutritional supplements marketed as enhancers of lean body mass. In this study the impact of 20HE ingestion on protein kinase B/Akt-mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling in the skeletal muscle and liver of male rats was found to be limited. Bioavailability of 20HE, whether consumed alone or with leucine, also remained low at ...

plant extracts, like phytoecdysteroids, are currently studied because of the possibility of their use in plant protection. phytoecdysteroids are insect steroid hormone analogues, and they are believed to deter invertebrates from plants, either by acting as antifeedants or by being toxic through hormonal disruption on ingestion. we describe here the effects of extract from spinacia oleracea l. (...

An effective technological approach to produce adaptogenic microingredients is concentrate plant biologically active substances via sorption on various matrices. The aim was develop and evaluate in vivo the phytoecdysteroids flavonoids extracted from quinoa grain sorbed coagulated chicken egg protein. consecutive extraction of conducted followed by experiment performed during 37 days using Wist...

A phytochemical study of the ethanolic extract of Stachyurus imalaicus var. himalaicus was undertaken and as a result a new polyoxygenated steroid, named stachsterol ((20S)-20, 25-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 1) and three known ecdysteroids, 20-hydroxyecdysone (2), 20-hydroxyecdysone-20, 22-monoacetonide (3) and polypodine B-20,22-monoacetonide (4), were isolated. Their structures were elucidat...
