Phloretin [3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propan1-one] is a hydrophobic, dihydrochalcone, polyphenolic compound (MW 274.3 g/mol, XlogP 2.6) that has been identified in apples and other natural sources including Pieris japonica, Kalmia latifolia, Hoveniae Lignum, and Loiseleuria procumbens [1-6] (Figure 1). Phloridzin is the glycoside of phloretin (phloretin-2’-glucose) which has ...

Wound healing is a complicated process in which the skin or afflicted organ heals itself after an injury. In numerous animal models, scientific validation for use of most these botanical parts and species management treatment prenatal postnatal complications has been reported. As result its bioactivity, biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, structural chemical similarity to bone teeth, host tiss...

The aim of the present study was to assess the bioremediation potential of endophytic bacteria isolated from roots of Tridax procumbens plant. Five bacterial endophytes were isolated and subsequently tested for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against different heavy metals. Amongst the five isolates, strain RM exhibited the highest resistance to copper (750 mg/l), followed by zinc (500 m...

in the present study, an indigenous medicinal plant, tridax procumbens (asteraceae) was used as bioadsorbent for the removal of cr (iii) ions from synthetic wastewater and the method was also applied for real sample analysis. the biosorption of cr (iii) was a two-stage batch reactor process. in the first stage, raw biomaterial was used to the conversion of cr (vi) into cr (iii). the amount of t...

Hiperurisemia merupakan suatu kondisi di mana terjadi peningkatan produksi kadar asam urat dalam tubuh. Penggunaan obat antihiperurisemia dapat menimbulkan efek samping, sehingga penggunaan tradisional dengan bahan alam digunakan sebagai alternatif pengobatan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengembangan senyawa aktivitas penghambat xantin oksidase yang berasal dari tumbuhan samping lebih rendah. S...
