ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Several aromatic plants and their essential oils are known to possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Distichoselinum tenuifolium (Lag.) Garcia Martin & Silvestre, an Iberian endemism, is traditionally used in the treatment of contact dermatitis and skin infections. However, the cellular mechanisms through which this plant exerts their beneficial e...

Objective(s): Nanocomposite active packaging systems were used to prepare antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This study was to investigate the physical and antimicrobial activity of prepared films against three types of aflatoxin producing fungi Aspergillus Flavus. Material and methods: For investigating the effect of antibacterial nano-covers, the direct contact of 0, 1%, 3% and 5%...

cular plants. They are important constituents of human dietary sources, such as fruits and vegetables, and they are also important for the growth, development and defense of plants. There are numerous flavonoids such as apigenin, genistein, narigenin, malvidin chloride and amentoflavone, and flavonoids exhibit various favorable biological and pharmacological effects. Amentoflavone belongs to a ...

Chalcones, or 1,3–diaryl–2–propen–1–ones, one of the major classes of natural products and posses many useful properties like anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti–inflammatory, antimalarial and anti–diabetic activity. We report in this communication the synthesis and anticancer study of a number of novel chalcone sulfonamides. Our results indicate that the synthesis of chalcone sulfonami...

paris polyphylla smith var. yunnanensis, has been used in traditional chinese medicine for its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties; in addition it has been used to cure liver cancer in particular. in this current study, β-ecdysterone (1) and three pennogenin steroidal saponins (2-4) were isolated from the etoh extract of paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis, and then tested for their antit...

This work represents the first initiative to analyze the distribution of B. thuringiensis in Algeria and to evaluate the biological potential of the isolates. A total of 157 isolates were recovered, with at least one isolate in 94.4% of the samples. The highest Bt index was found in samples from rhizospheric soil (0.48) and from the Mediterranean area (0.44). Most isolates showed antifungal act...
