The antiproliferative and antimicrobial effects of thirteen compounds isolated from Inula viscosa (L.) were tested in this study. The antiproliferative activity was tested against three cell lines using the MTT assay. The microdilution method was used to study the antimicrobial activity against two Gram positive bacteria, two Gram negative bacteria and one fungus. The apoptotic activity was det...

We studied the nature and antimicrobial activity of ozonolysis transformation products (OTPs) of levofloxacin (LEV), a frequently detected fluoroquinolone antimicrobial in environmental waters. Two bioassays, the Kirby-Bauer test and the broth microdilution assay, were used to measure changes in the antimicrobial activity of solutions at low LEV to O3 molar ratios (2:1, 2:3 and 1:3) compared to...

Background & Aim:Caryopteris odorata is an aromatic shrub of family verbenaceae growing in tropical to subtropical regions. Various traditional applications of this plant have been documented guiding us to investigate the pharmacological activities and to further investigate the chemical composition. Experimental: Methanolic extract of aerial par...

The bactericidal properties of chemically patterned lithium niobate substrates under a super-bandgap UV light source is established. irradiation surfaces inoculated with bacteria leads to antimicrobial activity compared glass substrate similar conditions, as determined by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and corroborated fluorescence-based live/dead assay. This finding may expand the possibl...

Abstract: Background: Quinolino and diazacino are important heterocyclics moiety, which have been reported to possess various activities such as antiallergenic, antifungal, hypocholesterolemic, antibacterial antiviral activities. The of these compounds were related inhibition bacterial dehydrogenase enzyme is one the targets studied for designing antimicrobial drugs. Further, molecular docking ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of Dendropanax morbifera Léveille extract for assessing whether Dendropanax morbifera Léveille can be used for the development of natural mouthwash and denture cleaning solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS The extract was obtained from branches of Dendropanax morbifera Léveille. The solvent fr...

BACKGROUND Use of oral antiseptics decreases the bacterial load in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE To compare the antimicrobial activity of 3 novel oral antiseptics with that of chlorhexidine, which is considered the "gold standard" of oral hygiene. DESIGN Comparative in vitro study. METHODS Four common oral microorganisms (Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, and F...

BACKGROUND Lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins or glycoproteins that bind reversibly to specific carbohydrates present on the apposing cells, which are responsible for their ability to agglutinate red blood cells, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, etc. Interest in lectins has been intensified due to their carbohydrate specificity as they can be valuable reagents for the investigation of cell surf...

antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of methanolic crude extracts from aerial parts of four arnebia species namely arnebia fimbriopetala, arnebia linearifolia, arnebia garandiflora, arnebia tubata were screened. total phenolic contents were determined by folin-ciocalteu procedure and ranged from 2.2 ± 0.13 (a. fimbriopetala) to 1.6 ± 1.0 mg (arnebia tubata) gallic acid µmol equi...
