Curcumin, berberine, and several other plant-derived substances have drawn attention from scientists because of their potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. New research from Wroclaw Medical University and the University of Wroclaw suggests, however, that these compounds can behave very differently. A substance that appears powerful against cancer cells may not necessarily have the best safety profile.
The researchers examined five compounds: curcumin, berberine, biochanin A, cucurbitacin E, and CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester), a component of propolis. They compared how each one affected fibrosarcoma cells and healthy muscle cells.

Light and ultrasound reveal renewable routes to compounds for pharmaceutical research - Phys.org
Sustainable packaging is only the beginning. What a medicine is made from—and how its ingredients are produced—matters just as much. Yet the synthesis of compounds for pharmaceutical research can still depend on fossil feedstocks, high temperatures, strong oxidants and metals that raise costs and complicate purification. Two recently published studies from Colmenares' group at IPC PAS demonstrate that cleaner chemistry can begin at the level of a single chemical bond. The studies are published in the journal Ultrasonics Sonochemistry and Chemistry—A European Journal.

Did an eruption of poop trigger the biggest explosion of life and diversity Earth has ever seen? - BBC Wildlife Magazine
The history of life on Earth doesn’t start with the Cambrian Explosion. However, this was the point in time that nearly all major animal groups appeared, proliferated, and diversified. It wiped out 90% of life on Earth, turned the oceans into graveyards – and it very nearly ended life on our planet entirely
