“…MEL is an alkaloid compound that has a bitter and unpleasant taste, which helps in protecting plants against herbivores [ 143 ]. Plants with high levels of MEL, such as walnut, if consumed by herbivores, can increase the level of MEL in their bodies and disturb their physiology [ 144 ]. The resistance of rice plants to herbivores, such as leaffolder and brown planthopper, was significantly enhanced via the production of JA, SA, MEL, flavonoids, and lignin [ 120 ].…”

Melatonin (MEL), a hormone primarily known for its role in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms in animals, has emerged as a multifaceted molecule in plants. Recent research has shed light on its diverse functions in plant growth and defense mechanisms. This review explores the intricate roles of MEL in plant growth and defense responses. MEL is involved in plant growth owing to its influence on hormone regulation. MEL promotes root elongation and lateral root formation and enhances photosynthesis, thereby promoting overall plant growth and productivity. Additionally, MEL is implicated in regulating the circadian rhythm of plants, affecting key physiological processes that influence plant growth patterns. MEL also exhibits antioxidant properties and scavenges reactive oxygen species, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. Furthermore, it activates defense pathways against various biotic stressors. MEL also enhances the production of secondary metabolites that contribute to plant resistance against environmental changes. MEL’s ability to modulate plant response to abiotic stresses has also been extensively studied. It regulates stomatal closure, conserves water, and enhances stress tolerance by activating stress-responsive genes and modulating signaling pathways. Moreover, MEL and nitric oxide cooperate in stress responses, antioxidant defense, and plant growth. Understanding the mechanisms underlying MEL’s actions in plants will provide new insights into the development of innovative strategies for enhancing crop productivity, improving stress tolerance, and combating plant diseases. Further research in this area will deepen our knowledge of MEL’s intricate functions and its potential applications in sustainable agriculture.

This is a scientific literature review of much of the current research into the therapeutic benefits and mode of action of baicalin and its associated flavonoids.Of particular interest for the treatment of demyelinating diseases like MS or peripheral neuropathy, in 2022 Ai et al found that, using a neonatal mouse model, baicalin promotes myelin production and regeneration by activating the PPARγ signal pathway and also confirmed that BA is an effective natural product for the treatment of demyelinating diseases.Dosing, contraindications and administration in a clinical setting are then considered to conclude the review.

“…In the development and progression of all the diseases mentioned above, numerous molecules such as naphthodianthrones, acyl-phloroglucinols, flavonoids and xanthones are involved [9]. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a powerful antioxidant molecule involved in the neurodegeneration process typical of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and is also used to treat insomnia typical in depressed patients [17]. Melatonin has been detected in numerous plant species, in particular, different authors have reported the presence of melatonin in H. perforatum [18][19][20].…”

This study assessed the impact of full and late flowering stages on the polyphenols and enzyme inhibitory properties of Hypericum perforatum from Poland. Recognizing the significance of phenolic compounds in disease prevention and melatonin’s emerging protective role, we employed an UHPLC-MS/MS system to quantify 38 phenolic compounds, not typical of St. John’s wort, and to develop a new method for melatonin quantification. Afterward, the extracts were tested for their antioxidant capabilities (using phosphomolybdenum, DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, CUPRAC and ferrous chelating assays). Moreover, we investigated enzymes (acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and tyrosinase) involved in neurodegenerative disorders and (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) in diabetes. This study recognized the importance of phenolic compounds in disease prevention and explored the emerging protective role of melatonin, taking into account the floral ontogeny of the plant. Indeed, the full-flowering plant contained the greatest concentration of phenolic compounds (a total of 65,276.5 µg/g): hyperoside (18,726.59 µg/g), isoquercitrin (11,895.02 µg/g) and delphindin-3.5-diglucoside (10,619.51 µg/g), and showed the highest inhibitory enzyme activity. Moreover, only full-flowering St. John’s wort contained melatonin (40 ng/g). Our results offer additional perspectives on the chemical-biological characteristics of H. perforatum and scientific knowledge that testifies to the importance of considering plant growth conditions for the development of nutraceuticals.
