Lasia spinosa or Unicorn plant is an important tropical spinous rhizomatous herb. This one of the native species Assam used as vegetable and in Ayurvedic medicines. There are two distinct morphological types spinosa: Morphotype-I i.e.having dissected laminal hastate form Morphotype- II i.e. form. The current study revealed that physical anatomical parameters assent with genetic diversity throug...

The aim of this study was to ascertain the anti-arthritic active fraction of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) fruits and its chemical constituents. The adjuvant arthritic rat model was developed to evaluate the anti-arthritic effects of different fractions of ethanol extraction from C. spinosa L. The fraction eluted by ethanol-water (50:50, v/v) had the most significant anti-arthritic activi...

Pycnocycla spinosa Decne. ex Boiss. var. spinosa (Fam. Umbelliferae) is an essential oil-containing wild plant growing in central part of Iran. Hydroalcoholic extract of Pycnocycla spinosa has antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activity. The aim of this study was to further investigate antidiarrheal and small intestinal transit effect of P. spinosa extract for a comparison with loperamide and dicy...

conclusions p. spinosa ethanol extract can be used as a mouthwash for treatment of the oral infections. more clinical and toxicological studies are required for providing its efficacy. results p. spinosa ethanol extract with higher-level phenolic and flavonoid contents showed the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, in comparison with the other extracts. bacillus sp. and streptococcus...

Abstract Background Acetoin utilization protein (acuC) is a type I histone deacetylase which highly conserved in bacteria. The acuC gene related to the acetylation/deacetylation posttranslational modification (PTM) system S. spinosa. Spinosyns, secondary metabolites produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa , are active ingredients family of insect control agents. However, specific functions and in...

Capparis spinosa is one of the most important eremophytes among the medicinal plants, and continued destruction of these plants poses a major threat to species survival. The development of methods to extract compounds, especially those of medicinal value, without harvesting the whole plant is an issue of considerable socioeconomic importance. On the basis of an established system for culture of...

BACKGROUND Saccharopolyspora spinosa is an important producer of antibiotic spinosad with clarified biosynthesis pathway but its complex regulation networks associated with primary metabolism and secondary metabolites production almost have never been concerned or studied before. The proteomic analysis of a novel Saccharopolyspora spinosa CCTCC M206084 was performed and aimed to provide a globa...
