... and g-eudesmol (VIP=1.15). This identification of chemical markers exhibited a wide range of antimicrobial properties and applications in various commercial preparations, such as plant pathogens, food spoilage bacteria, and foodborne pathogens, which have been examined by many researchers (Haznedaroglu et al., 2001;Benali et al., 2020;Medina-Romero et al., 2022). ...

... Extracts rich in phenolic compounds from Diospyros mespiliformis, Haplophyllum tuberculatum, and Mangifera indica showed important antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities when evaluated in different models of wound healing [106][107][108]. Rocha et al. [109] evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and healing activities of Artemisia campestris L. hydrodistillation residual water and its essential oil, finding that the residual hydrodistillation water showed promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities without causing toxicity in the macrophages and fibroblasts. ...

... There are numerous abiotic conditions that cause essential oils to degrade quickly (making their handling easy since there are no residue problems). They offer a broad spectrum of activity are simple to process and utilize as they are less persistent, making them safe for people and the environment [64]. The application of EOs in more environmentally sustainable agronomic techniques has been the subject of numerous research investigations. ...

... Propolis is a complex bee product with diverse biological activities that are determined by its variable chemical composition [17,23,36,[47][48][49][50][51]. This, in turn, depends on different factors such as the geographical region in which it is collected, the surrounding flora, and the bee species that produces it [50,52,53]. ...

... Nowadays, α-phellandrene has been characterized by a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, analgesic, and insecticidal activities (Figure 4) [60][61][62][63]. Alpha-phellandrene accelerated wound closure due to collagen deposition and demonstrated good wound-healing properties [64][65][66]. In addition, α-phellandrene is associated with enhancement of the proliferation of vascular endothelial growth factor in dermal papilla cells, which indicates that α-phellandrene has a strong potential to prevent hair loss [67]. ...

... Many members of the genus were used medicinally in their indigenous countries such as J. gossypifolia, J. curcas, J. chevalieri, and J. multifida [3]. Leaves and latex from Jatropha plants are especially useful in treating skin conditions such as ulcers, blisters, eczema and also to accelerate wound healing [4][5][6]. The genus is rich in bioactive secondary metabolites especially diterpenoids of tigliane, lathyrane, and jatrophane skeletons which exist mainly as esters [7,8]. ...

... The observed activities might be associated with the presence of diverse phytoconstituents, among them phenolic acids (Protocatechuic acid glucoside, (neo)chlorogenic acid, 4hydroxybenzoic acid glucoside, chlorogenic acid, and vanillic acid glucoside), coumarins (Aesculetin and its glucoside derivative), dihydrochalcones glucosides (Phloretin glucoside, phloretin pentosylglucoside, and phlorizin) and flavonoids (Kaempferol, quercetin and their mono and dimer glycosides). These results are in agreement with those reported from other extracts containing polyphenolics such as Syzygium samarangense [10], apple [35,36], Chihuahua propolis [37] and Euphorbia umbellata (Pax) Bruyns [38]. Several individual components furnished similar activities as well. ...

... For example, in a murine model of chronic colitis, the administration of the methanolic extract of Cyrtocarpa procera (C. procera), a plant used in traditional Mexican medicine, decreased the clinical symptoms associated with colitis as well as the levels of chronic inflammation [63]. In addition to C. procera, several traditionally used plants have shown cytotoxic activity in human CRC cell lines in vitro (Figure 3b) [61]. ...

... The migration of fibroblasts into the wound bed and the formation of an extracellular matrix of granulation tissue is another feature of wound healing [109]. The essential oil of Bursera morelensis promoted fibroblast migration to the wound site and initiated collagen synthesis [110]. α-pinene and α-PHE treatments showed wound-healing activity, with improved scar tissue and collagen deposition [34]. ...

... 66,67 In the last decades two different CB1 receptor antagonists have been synthetized, BAR-1 and Ibipinabant. 42,[68][69][70] In isolated pancreatic islets from rats, BAR-1 increased insulin, glucokinase, PDX-1 and CB1r gene expression, and basal insulin secretion was modified, in opposition to AEA effect. 42 BAR-1 treatment of prediabetic and diabetic mice reduced oral glucose tolerance without effect on HbA1c and triglycerides; glucosestimulated insulin secretion was enhanced, but gene expression for insulin, glucagon, PDX-1 and some elements of ECS showed significant decrease. ...
