Proposals for publications to be featured by INPST

This forum entry offers the chance to propose publications for social media-featuring by INPST. Please insert your suggestion as a comment in the “Leave a reply” box below. Please be aware that there is some delay time until your comment will appear on the website.

What you can expect if the publication suggested by you will be selected for featuring by INPST? See an example of a previously featured publication on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, and ResearchGate.

How are the suggested publications being ranked and prioritized for featuring? The following parameters are considered:

Free open access. Articles published with free open access will be prioritized.

Influence. Publications from journals with high impact factor will be prioritized.

Novelty. Articles that are published more recently will be prioritized.

Relevance. Publications with relevance for natural product research will be prioritized.

Potential to be of a broad interest. Publications with a high potential to be of a broad interest will be prioritized. Hypothetical illustrative example of a publication with a high potential to be of a broad interest could be a study examining the effect of dietary supplementation with turmeric (one of the most popular spices) on the development of cardiovascular disease (the most prevalent cause in death in people).

INPST membership. Publications authored by INPST members will be prioritized.

While it is clear that it will be difficult to find many articles meeting all of these parameters, it would be helpful if your recommendation would include quick explanation how the publication suggested by you meets at least some of these parameters.

  2. Dear Sir,
    The article was impressive and using a unique concept and methodology. But the isolation of erucin was not defined whether it was a pure compound from a natural source or synthetic.

  8. A new review paper on ANTHOCYANINS and their still overlooked actions in animal mitochondria!

    Vidmantas Bendokas, Kristina Skemiene, Sonata Trumbeckaite, Vidmantas Stanys, Sabina Passamonti, Vilmante Borutaite & Julius Liobikas (2019) Anthocyanins: From plant pigments to health benefits at mitochondrial level, Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, DOI: 10.1080/10408398.2019.1687421

    Abstract
    Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments providing certain color for various plant parts, especially in edible berries. Earlier these compounds were only known as natural food colorants, the stability of which depended on pH, light, storage temperature and chemical structure. However, due to the increase of the in vitro, in vivo experimental data, as well as of the epidemiological studies, today anthocyanins and their metabolites are also regarded as potential pharmaceutical compounds providing various beneficial health effects on either human or animal cardiovascular system, brain, liver, pancreas and kidney. Many of these effects are shown to be related to the free-radical scavenging and antioxidant properties of anthocyanins, or to their ability to modulate the intracellular antioxidant systems. However, it is generally overlooked that instead of acting exclusively as antioxidants certain anthocyanins affect the activity of mitochondria that are the main source of energy in cells. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to summarize the major knowledge about the chemistry and regulation of biosynthesis of anthocyanins in plants, to overview the facts on bioavailability, and to discuss the most recent experimental findings related to the beneficial health effects emphasizing mitochondria.
    Keywords: Biosynthesis, bioavailability and metabolism, neuro- and cardioprotection, hepatoprotection, kidney and pancreas, oxidative phosphorylation

  9. We have recently published a review article in the Malaria Journal (Open Access) on Antiplasmodial natural products between 2010 and 2017. This is the most updated reveiw on the subjected published so far. I trust members of this forum will find it interesting a citable. Article at the below link
