This study was carried out with an objective to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal potential of leaves of Cordia macleodii and Leucas ciliata. Antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of the leaves was carried out against three Gram negative bacteria – Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two Gram positive bacteria – Bacillus Subtilis and Staphylo...

The lack of antifungal drugs with novel modes of action reaching the clinic is a serious concern. Recently a novel antifungal protein referred to as Blad-containing oligomer (BCO) has received regulatory approval as an agricultural antifungal agent. Interestingly its spectrum of antifungal activity includes human pathogens such as Candida albicans, however, its mode of action has yet to be eluc...

the antimicrobial efficacy of methanol and water extracts of seeds of the plant swietenia macrophylla (family: meliaceae) was evaluated against selected pathogenic bacterial strains (bacillus cereus mtcc 430, klebsiella penumoniae mtcc 109, pseudomonas aeruginosa mtcc 424, escherichia  coli mtcc 443, staphylococcus aureus mtcc 96, salmonella typhimurium mtcc 98, micrococcus luteus mtcc 106) and...

in this study, antifungal property of olive leaf extracts against candida albicans ptcc-5027 was examined. fresh olive leaf extracts were prepared using distilled water in a soxhlet apparatus. the antifungal activity of the extract was analyzed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimum fungicidal concentration (mfc), using the microdilution test and disc diffusion assa...

Cadinane-type sesquiterpenes have a wide spectrum of biological activity, but their use as wood preservatives and the structure-activity relationships of their derivatives have not yet been reported. A total of 13 compounds were synthesized from T-cadinol, T-muurolol, and a-cadinol and their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, MS, and 1H and 13C NMR. The antifungal properties of 16 compou...
