Sesamol: A Natural Phenolic Compound with Promising Anticandidal Potential
We investigated the antifungal effects of sesamol (Ses), a natural phenolic compound, and exemplified that it could be mediated through disruption of calcineurin signaling pathway in C. albicans, a human fungal pathogen. The repertoire of antifungal activity not only was limited to C. albicans and its six clinical isolates tested but also was against non-albicans species of Candida. Interesting...
متن کاملPodophyllotoxin: a novel potential natural anticancer agent
Objective: The aim of the present review is to give an overview about the role, biosynthesis, and characteristics of Podophyllotoxin (PTOX) as a potential antitumor agent with particular emphasis on key biosynthesis processes, function of related enzymes and characterization of genes encoding the enzymes. Materials and Methods: Google scholar, PubMed and Scopus were searched for literatures wh...
متن کاملThe Potential of Silk and Silk-Like Proteins as Natural Mucoadhesive Biopolymers for Controlled Drug Delivery
Drug delivery across mucus membranes is a particularly effective route of administration due to the large surface area. However, the unique environment present at the mucosa necessitates altered drug formulations designed to (1) deliver sensitive biologic molecules, (2) promote intimate contact between the mucosa and the drug, and (3) prolong the drug's local residence time. Thus, the pharmaceu...
متن کاملIdentification of three new N-demethylated and O-demethylated bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid metabolites of isoliensinine from dog hepatic microsomes.
Isoliensinine, a natural phenolic bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, has received considerable attention for its potential biological effects such as antioxidant and anti-HIV activities. From the dog hepatic microsomes of isoliensinine, three new N-demethylated and O-demethylated metabolites, 2-N-desmethyl-isoliensinine (M1), 2'-N-desmethylisoliensinine (M2), and 2'-N-6-O-didesmethylisol...
متن کاملCyanobacteria: a Potential Natural Source for Drug Discovery and Bioremediation
Cyanophyta or cyanobacteria are a phylum of bacteria which obtain their energy by performing photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are the oldest photosynthetic organisms that evolved on Earth approximately 2.6 to 3.5 billion years ago (Hedges, et al., 2001). They are generally called as bluegreen algae, which is a misnomer, as cyanobacteria are prokaryotic and algae are eukaryotic (Allaby, 1992). Cyan...
