Essential oils and organic acids are used as feed additives to improve health status and reduce colonization with pathogens. Although bactericidal in vitro, concentrations achieved in the animal gut are probably not lethal to pathogens. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol and cinnamic, lactic and propionic acids on the ability of Salmonella typhimur...

BACKGROUND The rising drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria and inefficiency of current antibiotics to meet clinical requirements has augmented the need to establish new and innovative approaches for antibacterial drug discovery involving identification of novel antibacterial targets and inhibitors. Being obligatory for bacterial growth, essential gene products are considered vital as drug tar...

In common with other members of the Cys-loop family of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptors (5-HT3Rs) are activated by the binding of a neurotransmitter to an extracellular orthosteric site, located at the interface of two adjacent receptor subunits. In addition, a variety of compounds have been identified that modulate agonist-evoked responses of 5-HT3Rs, ...

The CoI2(PPh3)2/Zn system effectively catalyzes the [2 + 2 + 2] ene-diyne cycloaddition of 1,6-heptadiynes with allenes in a highly regio- and chemoselective fashion to yield substituted benzene derivatives in good to excellent yields.

A new strategy for Rh(I)-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloadditions of 1,6-diynes with potassium (Z)-(2-bromovinyl)trifluoroborate as the third two-atom unit has been realized, which provides a facile entry to polysubstituented benzene derivatives.

Hexa-substituted benzene derivatives show larger two-photon cross sections than the corresponding dipolar counterparts and the largest values of delta(max) = 2000 GM and delta(max)/MW = 2.25 GM g(-1) have been obtained with a compound having C[triple bond]C and C=C bonds in the conjugation bridge.

We have successfully developed a new synthetic approach to modulate the electrostatic potentials of metallocavitands and thus their selective recognition towards substituted benzene derivatives via integrating two metal cations of different electronegativity into a self-assembled system.

objective: pharmacological effects of carvacrol such as its anti-inflammatory activities have been shows. in this study the effects of carvacrol on serum levels of total protein (tp), phospholipase a2 (pla2) and histamine in sensitized guinea pigs was evaluated. materials and methods: sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group s), drinking water containing three concentration...

background and objective: temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) is a chronic neurological disorder with spontaneous recurrent seizures and abnormal intracranial waves. since the role of oxidative stress in the occurrence of epilepsy is inevitable, it seems that the use of antioxidants can prevent some of the complications resulting from this disease. this study was designed to assess the protective effe...

Background: Organophosphorus pesticides has been widely used in agriculture fields to control various crop insects and their extensive use pose human life at threat because of their adverse effects on human health. In this study, we checked the effects of GST polymorphism on ameliorative effect of curcumin and carvacrol against DNA damages. Methods: Comet assay was used to assess the DNA dam...
