Pedalitin
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pedalitin is a tyrosinase and α-glucosidase inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.28 mM and 0.29 mM, respectively, and can be isolated and extracted from Rabdosia serra. Pedalitin is a xanthine oxidase (Xanthine Oxidase) (IC50 = 3.7 µM) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) (IC50 = 3.8 nM) inhibitor. Pedalitin ameliorates NAFLD by downregulating the EGFR/IRS1/AKT1/FOXO1 signaling pathway and related inflammatory and lipid metabolism factors. Pedalitin reduces the risk of urinary tract infection and stones by inhibiting the expression of the urease UreC gene in Proteus mirabilis. Pedalitin also exhibits antifungal activity, with a MIC of 3.9 mg/L against Cryptococcus neoformans. Pedalitin can be used for research on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, cryptococcosis, and abdominal pain.

Pedalitin significantly inhibits urease activity in the enzymatic reaction solution extracted from Proteus mirabilis[5].
Pedalitin (0.12-62.5 mg/L; 24 h) exhibited low cytotoxicity in HepG2, MRC-5, NOK, and U87-MG cell lines, with IC50 values of 131.7, 191.7, 119, and 175 mg/L, respectively[10].
Pedalitin (0.01-0.4 mM; pre-incubation for 2-5 min) significantly inhibited tyrosinase and α-glucosidase activities, with IC50 values of 0.28 mM and 0.29 mM, respectively[11].

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Research Protocol for Metabolic Diseases
AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK, is a conserved cellular energy sensor that responds to reduced cellular energy status and coordinates metabolism by increasing ATP-generating catabolic pathways while suppressing ATP-consuming anabolic processes. In metabolic disease research, the AMPK pathway is experimentally relevant because it regulates hepatic lipid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose production, skeletal-muscle glucose disposal, mTORC1-linked biosynthesis, autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and whole-body energy balance. The central pathway logic is that energy stress, metformin, exercise-like stimulation, or direct AMPK activators increase AMPKα Thr172 phosphorylation and downstream substrate phosphorylation, including ACC and RAPTOR. Phosphorylation of ACC suppresses lipogenesis and supports fatty acid oxidation, whereas phosphorylation of RAPTOR suppresses mTORC1 signaling and links cellular energy status to growth and protein synthesis control. The pathway is linked
