(Rozenblat et al., 2008), with these latter also responsible of other antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities (Galya et al., 2010); inhibition of protein carbonylation, due to 7-methylaromadendrin, phenylpropanoid 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester and phenyl...
Sample numbers of the individual plants studied are given as inTable 1. Yield figures are in % w/w. Compound listed in bold are the major compounds in most of the samples. 2.4. Antibacterial studies Oil samples and various extracts (Table 3) were investigated for antimicrobial activity using...
which is one of the largest group of flowering plants distributed worldwide. The emphasis was put on the potential allergens from the common species used as popular food, ornamental plants, medicinal plants, and weeds. In particular
cymbifera are sold in several Brazilian markets, either alone or in combination with other plants, as herbal remedies for the treatment of helminthiasis, such as schistosomiasis and general infections [8, 9, 17, 19]. However, despite its medicinal use against helminths, A. cymbifera have ...
Class 1: collected plants, class 2: cultivated plants. These findings suggest a correlation between metabolic patterns and ecological factors. Cultivated species were grown in the Botanical Garden of Giessen (Germany) and therefore not exposed to climatic conditions which can be found in the natural...
These plants also limit herbivory, and they exhibit insecticidal, insect antifeedant, antibacterial, antifungal, antialgal, and antitermite activities. Sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, benzofurans, chromenes, coumarins, lupan triterpenes, aliphatic lactones, and aromatic and acetilenic compounds have all been...
The oils exhibited antibacterial activity, especially against Gram-positive bacteria. Antimicrobial activity was greater in oils from the UK than in oils from Egypt or South Africa, irrespective of whether the UK plants had been grown in a greenhouse or in the eld. The minimum inhibitory ...
Also, germacranolide sesquiterpene lactones such as parthenolide have received considerable attention due to their wide range of biological activities, which includecytotoxic, antitumor, antibacterial and antifungal properties (Mohamed et al., 2012). On the other hand, research on the relationship ...
green propolis. Since propolis is known for its antimicrobial activity, the aim of thiswork was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities ofB. dracunculifoliaand some of its isolatedcompounds. The results showed that the leaves extract ofB. dracunculifolia(BdE) presentsantifungal and antibacterial ...
