“…Apart from its use in culinary preparations, it has found application for medicinal, cosmetics, and insecticidal purposes (Anyanwu and Nwosu 2014;Ogbunugafor, Ugochukwu, and Kyrian-Ogbonna 2017). P. guineense has high nutritional qualities and is rich in vitamins and minerals (Ezenobi, Amaku, and Agbidi 2016;Imo et al 2018). Studies have shown that the plant possesses antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and neuropharmacological activities (Oyemitan et al 2015;Salehi et al 2019).…”

Brain aging is one of the unavoidable aspects of geriatric life. As one ages, changes such as the shrinking of certain parts (particularly the frontal cortex, which is vital to learning and other complex mental activities) of the brain may occur. Consequently, communications between neurons are less effective, and blood flow to the brain could also decrease. efforts made at the biological level for repair become inadequate, leading to the accumulation of β-amyloid peptide in the brain faster than its probable degradation mechanism, resulting in cognitive malfunction. Subsequent clinical usage of drugs in battling related brain-aging ailments has been associated with several undesirable side effects. However, recent research has investigated the potential use of natural compounds from food in combating such occurrences. This review provides information about the use of Piper guineense (black pepper) as a possible agent in managing brain aging because of its implications for practical brain function. P. guineense contains an alkaloid (piperine) reported to be an antioxidant, anti-depressant, and central nervous system stimulant. This alkaloid and other related compounds are neuroprotective agents that reduce lipid oxidation and inhibit tangles in the brain tissues.

Hygrophila triflora (Roxb.) Fosb. and Sachet, a notable member of the Acanthaceae family, is a herbaceous plant indigenous to South Asia, commonly found along watercourses. This study delves into the taxonomic history, morphological diversity, ecological relevance, and physicochemical properties of Hygrophila triflora. Morphologically, the plant displays dimorphism in its leaves, with adaptations suited for both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Leaves were collected from Baruipur, West Bengal, and authenticated, followed by a series of processing and microscopic analyses to explore the plant's anatomical features. The physicochemical evaluations highlighted properties such as moisture content, ash values, and extractive values, establishing a foundation for the plant's quality assessment. High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) was employed to derive a comprehensive phytochemical profile, revealing distinct Rf values when observed at two wavelengths, 254 nm and 366 nm. Additionally, a qualitative analysis showcased the presence of various secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids and flavonoids, in different extracts of the plant. These findings contribute valuable insights into the anatomical, chemical, and potential therapeutic attributes of Hygrophila triflora, paving the way for deeper pharmacological investigations and potential applications in traditional and modern medicine. This research underscores the importance of continued exploration of indigenous plant species, elucidating their roles in ecosystems and potential contributions to scientific and therapeutic domains.
