July 2024 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” This study investigates the effects of Puerariae Lobatae Radix on sebaceous gland secretion, identifying 17 active compounds and 163 potential targets related to sebum regulation. The research highlights that puerarin and daidzein, key bioactive compounds, modulate lipid metabolism pathways, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α and steroid metabolism. Animal experiments confirmed that Puerariae Lobatae Radix significantly reduces sebaceous gland size and secretion, with decreased expression of TG, DHT, IL-6, PPARG, and ACC1. These findings suggest that Puerariae Lobatae Radix has therapeutic potential for conditions related to sebaceous gland activity by inhibiting gland growth and lipid secretion.

April 2026 in “Inflammopharmacology” This study explores the antifibrotic potential of Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract (PGEL) against skin scleroderma, focusing on oxidative stress, inflammation, and the TGF-β1/Snail 1/p-Smad 3 signaling pathway. In a rat model with 24 subjects, PGEL was administered at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, resulting in reduced oxidative stress and inflammation markers, such as IL-17 A, TNF-α, and MMP-9. PGEL also downregulated fibrotic markers like COL1A1 and Snail 1, and decreased TGF-β1 and p-Smad 3 levels, leading to improved dermal thickness and collagen fiber arrangement. The study suggests that PGEL, rich in compounds like ellagic acid and catechin-3-O-gallate, may offer therapeutic benefits for skin fibrosis by targeting inflammation, extracellular matrix production, and oxidative stress.
