Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals that lack defense mechanisms and rely on chemical defense  that have been used by mankind to develop antimicrobial drugs against diseases.  The present study was designed to demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of marine sponge Dysidea pallescens semipolar and nonpolar extracts. In this study, D. pallescens were collected from He...

BACKGROUND The thiophene nucleus has been recognized as an important entity in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with promising pharmacological characteristics. RESULTS A number of new heterocyclic compounds incorporating thiophene species have been prepared from the titled enaminone via the reaction with different nucleophiles and electrophiles. The structure elucidation of the designe...

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a polyene antibiotic, widely used against life threatening systemic infections with fungi such as Candida albicans or Aspergillus fumigates as well as parasite such as Leishmania donovani. Until recently, AmB has been administered parenterally; however, this approach has been associated with significant infusion-related side effects and nephrotoxicity. Nevertheless, the ...

diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (dris) can be used as efficient methods to interpret the results of plant analysis and the nutritional diagnosis in crops and fruit trees. to establish dris norms in onion (allium cepa l) leaf samples were collected from 50 fields and n, p, k, ca, mg, fe, mn, zn, cu and b concentrations were determined. on the bases of yield, the studied fields wer...

this research summarizes the data on benthic macro invertebrates collected from 25 points in the urmia lake wetlands during november 2008 to february 2009. the purpose of the study was to assess the effects of elevated salinity and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) levels on macro invertebrate abundance and composition. a total of 32 taxa were collected, and the common taxa, including chirono...

This work aims at optimizing the high cell density fungal cultivation for producing large quantities of fungal biomass to be used in azo dye residues bioremediation. In our previous studies the efficacy of using certain fungal strains to decolorize a range of commercial textile dyes of different structures (azo, disazo) were investigated. Several promising fungal strains belonging to Aspergillu...
