Methanol extracts of Callistemon viminalis (Sol. Ex Gaertner) G.Don Ex Loudon fruits, bark and leaves were tested for molluscicidal activity. Snails were collected and kept in dechlorinated water under standard condition. Ten adults B. Alexandrina, of the same size, were introduced in plastic acquaria for each experiment. The powdered organs extracted with methanol and the dried extracts were k...

Fungi which grow in stored commodities are xerophilic, that is, capable of growing at reduced water activity (aw). Some xerophilic fungi either will not grow or grow only very slowly at the high aw values of media traditionally used to enumerate yeasts and moulds in foods and feedstuffs. Populations of xerophiles may therefore be underestimated or go undetected if the media and methods normally...

The galactolipid (2S)-1,2-di-O-[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl]-3-O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl glycerol (1) isolated from dried and milled fruits of Rosa canina by bioassay-guided fractionation is an antiinflammatory agent with inhibitory effects on chemotaxis of human peripheral blood neutrophils in vitro. The inhibition of cell migration is not related to toxicity. The presence of 1 in r...

The title compound, C(26)H(34)O(11), known as bruceine A, is a natural quassinoid extracted from the dried fruits of Brucea javanica. Its structure consists of five fused rings including an oxygen-containing heterocyclic ring and a lactone ring. Two intra-molecular O-H⋯O links help to establish the mol-ecular conformation. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules.
