Anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of shallot (Allium ascalonicum) extract
INTRODUCTION Alliumplants are an important part of the diet of many populations and there is a long-held belief in their health-enhancing properties such as cancer prevention. In this study, the anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of the aqueous extract of the Allium ascalonicum bulbs have been studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antiproliferative and anti-growth activity of the aqueous...
متن کاملPurification, partial characterization and immobilization of a mannose-specific lectin from seeds of Dioclea lasiophylla mart.
Lectin from the seeds of Dioclea lasiophylla (DlyL) was purified in a single step by affinity chromatography on a Sephadex® G-50 column. DlyL strongly agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and was inhibited by monosaccharides (D-mannose and α-methyl-D-mannoside) and glycoproteins (ovalbumin and fetuin). Similar to other Diocleinae lectins, DlyL has three chains, α, β and γ, with mass of 25,569 ± 2, ...
متن کاملAnti fungal activity of shallot, Allium ascalonicum Linn. (Liliaceae), in vitro
The aim of the present study was to investigate anti fungal activities of the fresh extract of Allium ascalonicum Linn. (Liliaceae) against clinically important yeast, dermatophytes and some saprophytic fungi in vitro. The anti fungal effects of fresh crude juice of shallot were determined against 11 isolates of Candida albicans, three species of dermatophytes (Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton...
متن کاملPurification of a new fungal mannose-specific lectin from Penicillium chrysogenum and its aphicidal properties.
Several Ascomycetes fungi are commonly used in bio-industries and provide available industrial residues for lectin extraction to be valuable. A lectin from Penicillium chrysogenum, named PeCL, was purified from a fungal culture using gel-filtration chromatography column. PeCL was found to be a mannose-specific lectin by haemagglutination activity towards rabbit erythrocyte cells and was visuali...
متن کاملEffect of aqueous extract of shallot (Allium ascalonicum) on inhibition of growth of Pseudomonas aeroginosa
Shallot from Liliacea are the oldest plants that are used for treatment of different disease such as bacterial, parasitic, fungal infections and also viruses. In addition, Pseudomonas aeroginosa is the most important human pathogen with invasive nature that causes different infections especially in cases with abnormal defence. It is resistant to many antibiotics, makes some problems in treatmen...
