Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha) essential oils (EOs) stand out for their benefits in terms of health and functionality. Buffalo set yogurt enriched with different concentrations of EOs (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9%) were investigated. The effects of addition on sensory, syneresis, antibacterial activity, and bioactive properties (total phenol content and antioxidant activity) of yogurt were studied. The most acceptable organoleptic properties of treated yogurt were those samples treated with Eucalyptus oil. The levels of syneresis were decreased by increasing the concentration of EOs. Moreover, the antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, and total phenolic content were enhanced by increasing the concentration of EOs. Yogurt with 0.9% Eucalyptus oil showed the highest antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The same concentration of Eucalyptus oil showed the highest antibacterial activity against S. typhimurium (the inhibition zone was 20.63 mm) then E. coli (the inhibition zone was 19.43 mm). On the other hand, the highest antibacterial effect against L. monocytogene was for Myrrh oil-enriched yogurt by 0.9% and the inhibition zone was 19.21 mm. The obtained results showed that Eucalyptus and Myrrh oils can be applied to yogurt to improve its beneficial properties in terms of physical characteristics and for human health due to their antioxidant activity and phenolic materials. 相似文献

Keladi tikus (Typhonium flagelliforme (Lodd) Blume is a plant that has many benefits in - health such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antihepatotoxic. This study aims to determine the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts of leaves T. flagelliforme. The agar diffusion method used in the antibacterial activity; DPPH, the FTC and the TBA method used in the antioxidant activity. The results showed the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fraction had antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while the n-hexane fraction had no activity against bacteria tested. The results of antioxidant activity by DPPH method, the FTC and the TBA showed ethyl acetate fraction was the most active (IC50 = 56.32 ppm) fraction among others. 相似文献

Two series of allylamines/benzylamines have been synthesised and evaluated for their antifungal activity towards Cryptococcus neoformans. All compounds are chiral derivatives of Butenafine and Terbinafine, having additional substituents at the carbon connected to the central nitrogen atom. In both series, the antifungal activity was strongly dependent on both the steric bulk and the electronic nature of the substituents. Compared to the parent compounds (Butenafine and Terbinafine), the activity was maintained when the hydrogen was replaced with a methyl group. Lower activity was observed for ethyl, whereas introduction of -CH2F, -CHF2, -CF3 or -CN substituents removed all antifungal activity. Testing of (R)- and (S)-N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N-methyl-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethanamine against C. neoformans, Cryptococcus diffluens and Trichosporon cutaneum revealed that most of the activity resides in the (R)-enantiomer. The (R)-enantiomer performed as well as, or better (lower MIC values) than Butenafine against each test strain, suggesting that antimycotics based on this compound might be an improvement of existing Butenafine-based formulations. 相似文献

Matrine is a traditional botanical pesticide with a broad-spectrum biological activity that is widely applied in agriculture. Halopyrazole groups are successfully introduced to the C13 of matrine to synthesize eight new derivatives with a yield of 78–87%. The insecticidal activity results show that the introduction of halopyrazole groups can significantly improve the insecticidal activity of matrine on Plutella xylostella, Mythimna separata and Spodoptera frugiperda with a corrected mortality rate of 100%, which is 25–65% higher than matrine. The fungicidal activity results indicate that derivatives have a high inhibitory effect on Ceratobasidium cornigerum, Cibberella sanbinetti, Gibberrlla zeae and Collectot tichum gloeosporioides. Thereinto, 4-Cl-Pyr-Mat has the best result, with an inhibition rate of 23–33% higher than that of matrine. Therefore, the introduction of halogenated pyrazole groups can improve the agricultural activity of matrine. 相似文献

Some ferrocene compounds, such as tamoxifen derivatives hydroxyferrocifen 1 and ferrociphenol 2, show strong antiproliferative activity on hormone-dependent and hormone-independent breast cancer cells. In order to evaluate their antimicrobial activity, they were tested, together with their purely organic analogs, on the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and the fungus Candida albicans. It has been found that the compounds bearing alkylamino chains are active, and in these cases the antimicrobial activity increases for compounds bearing two amino chains. These dialkyamino compounds are equally as active as doxycycline on P. aeruginosa and S. aureus but superior to it on C. albicans. The results show that there are no general correlation between the antitumoral activity and the bactericidal and fungicidal activities of these compounds. The ferrocene derivatives and their organic analogs have similar activity on bacteria and fungus. This bactericidal and fungicidal behaviour is a novel area of activity for these entities. 相似文献

AtNUDT5 is a cytosol Nudix that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a variety of substrates. In this report, a 1,387-bp 5′-flanking region of the AtNUDT5 gene was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The tissue-specific activity of the 5′-flanking region was investigated by using the GUS gene as a reporter in transgenic A. thaliana plants. Weak GUS activity appeared in vascular tissues of young plants, strong GUS activity appeared in the axial roots, but no GUS activity was observed in the root cap, lateral roots, rosette leaf, mature silique and reproductive tissues such as stamen, pistil, and petal. Furthermore, by using these transgenic A. thaliana plants, results of the histochemical staining and fluorometric assays of GUS activity showed that the AtNUDT5 promoter can be activated by both avirulent Pst avrRpm1 and virulent Pst strains at 5 h post-infiltration and that the activity of AtNUDT5 promoter increased significantly at 24 h post-infiltration. Taken together, our results demonstrated that the AtNUDT5 promoter is pathogen-responsive. The promoter may be used to develop transgenic plants with an increased tolerance to pathogenic stresses. 相似文献

The p-aminobenzoic acid was applied for the synthesis of substituted 1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine derivatives containing benzimidazole, azole, oxadiazole, triazole, dihydrazone, and dithiosemicarbazide moieties in the structure. All the obtained compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using MIC and MBC assays. This study showed a good bactericidal activity of γ-amino acid and benzimidazoles derivatives. The antimicrobial activity of the most promising compounds was higher than ampicillin. Furthermore, two benzimidazoles demonstrated good antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes (MIC 15.62 µg/mL) that was four times more potent than ampicillin (MIC 65 µg/mL). Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanism of the antimicrobial activity as well as to generate antimicrobial compounds based on the 1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine scaffold. 相似文献

In this study, fermentation broth of Eisenia bicyclis with Candia utilis YM-1 exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and food-borne pathogenic bacteria. To perform a more detailed investigation on the antibacterial activity, the fermented broth of E. bicyclis was extracted with methanol and further fractionated with organic solvents. After 1-day fermentation, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc)-soluble extract exhibited the highest anti-MRSA activity with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 128 to 512 μg/mL, suggesting that the fermentation of E. bicyclis with C. utilis YM-1 may enhance antibacterial activity against MRSA. This effect was correlated to the result obtained by an increase in total phenolic contents in EtOAc-soluble extract. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that eckol, dieckol, dioxinodehydroeckol, and phlorofucofuroeckol-A contents in the EtOAc-soluble extract increased significantly. Thus, these results show that anti-MRSA activity of E. bicyclis fermented with C. utilis most likely originated from phlorotannins and allow the possible application of a variety of seaweed functional foods. 相似文献

S-Alkyl (R = benzyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl) derivatives of thiosalicylic acid and the corresponding palladium(II) complexes were prepared and their structures were proposed on the basis of infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The cis geometrical configurations of the isolated complexes were proposed on the basis of an X-ray structural study of the bis(S-benzyl-thiosalicylate)-palladium(II), [Pd(S-bz-thiosal)2] complex.Antimicrobial activity of the tested compounds was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) in relation to 26 species of microorganisms. The tested ligands, with a few exceptions, show low antimicrobial activity. The palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(S-R-thiosal)2], have statistically significant higher activity than the corresponding ligands. The complexes [Pd(S-et-thiosal)2] and [Pd(S-pro-thiosal)2] displayed the strongest activity amongst the all tested compounds. The palladium(II) complexes show selective and moderate antibacterial activity and significant antifungal activity. The most sensitive were Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus. 相似文献

Two new strigolactone-like metabolites, named peagol and peagoldione, with germinative activity for root parasitic plants, were isolated from pea root exudates and were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Peagol was more active on Orobanche foetida and Phelipanche aegyptiaca seeds, while peagoldione was active on P. aegyptiaca only. Low activity was found on Orobanche crenata and Orobanche minor. Stimulatory activity of peagol on O. foetida seeds is most relevant as this species does not respond to the synthetic strigolactone analogue GR24, usually used as Orobanche germination standard. 相似文献

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease affecting particularly the black African population and its diaspora. In recent years, the phytotherapeutical approach seems to show progress with in vitro validation of antisickling activity of several plants used in traditional African medicine against sickle cell disease and isolation of some active molecules. The use of edible medicinal plants is an interesting approach since these plants can be integrated into the daily diet of patient suffering from this chronic disease. Among nearly 75 plants used in Congolese traditional medicine identified by our research team, 16 species belonging to 12 families of edible plants including: Cajanus cajan, Sorghum bicolor, Ipomea batata, Moringa morindoides, Adansania digitata, Ocimum basilicum, Vigna unguiculata. The antisickling activity of these plants used by traditional healers was confirmed in vitro using several tests including Emmel test, hemolysis test and antioxidant activity test. Fifteen of these plants have actually shown biological activity justifying their use in traditional medicine. This activity mainly observed in the polar extracts is mainly due to anthocyanins and organic acids and their derivatives. These plants can be used as nutraceuticals in the treatment of sickle cell disease and the tests done with Vigna unguculata are encouraging. 相似文献

The ecdysteroid analogues 2,3-diepi-20-hydroxyecdysone and 2,3-diepi-5α-20-hydroxyecdysone have been synthesized from the readily available ecdysteroid, 20-hydroxyecdysone, and moulting activity has been determined using the Musca bioassay. As expected, the 2,3-diepi-analogue was less active than the parent ecdysteroid, 20-hydroxyecdysone. However, the 2,3-diepi-5α-analogue, which was expected to be inactive in the assay, exhibited moulting activity though it was approximately 1.5-fold less active than its 5β-analogue. The activity of the 5α-analogue could possibly result from the ability of this compound to bind to the ecdysteroid receptor. Alternatively, a possible in vivo C-5 epimerization of the 2,3-diepi-5α-analogue to the corresponding 5β-analogue could account for its activity. 相似文献

Callicarpenal, isolated from the leaves of American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) and Japanese beautyberry (Callicarpa japonica), exhibits significant mosquito bite-deterring activity and repellent activity against ticks and fire ants. The mosquito bite-deterring activity level of callicarpenal was reported to be similar to that of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide. The novel synthesis of (?)-callicarpenal reported herein was accomplished by starting from (+)-pulegone. In our original approach, a novel Prins-type cyclization based on Meyer–Schuster rearrangement was featured as a key step. 相似文献

Dodonaea viscosa is a medicinal plant which has been used to treat various diseases in humans. However, the anti-insect activity of extracts from D. viscosa has not been evaluated. Here, we found that the total saponins from D. viscosa (TSDV) had strong antifeedant and growth inhibition activities against 4th-instar larvae of Spodoptera litura. The median antifeeding concentration (AFC50) value of TSDV on larvae was 1621.81 μg/mL. TSDV affected the detoxification enzyme system of the larvae and also exerted antifeedant activity possibly through targeting the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system. The AFC50 concentration, the carboxylesterase activity, glutathione S-transferases activity, and cytochrome P450 content increased to 258%, 205%, and 215%, respectively, and likewise the glutamate decarboxylase activity and GABA content to 195% and 230%, respectively, in larvae which fed on TSDV. However, D. viscosa saponin A (DVSA) showed better antifeedant activity and growth inhibition activity in larvae, compared to TSDV. DVSA also exerted their antifeedant activity possibly through targeting the GABA system and subsequently affected the detoxification enzyme system. Further, DVSA directly affected the medial sensillum and the lateral sensillum of the 4th-instar larvae. Stimulation of Spodoptera litura. with DVSA elicited clear, consistent, and robust excitatory responses in a single taste cell. 相似文献

The bioluminescent system of the univalve shell Latia neritoides exhibits a luciferin-luciferase reaction. We study the enol formate structure of Latia luciferin, which is expected to be important for luminescent activity. The Latia luciferin analogues with an enol substituted benzoate moiety were synthesized and their bioluminescent activity was measured. The Latia luciferin benzoate analogues delay emission for natural luciferin in bioluminescence, indicating that the Latia bioluminescent activity can be controlled by the design of the enol ester. 相似文献

Leishmaniasis and schistosomiasis are neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) infecting the world’s poorest populations. Effectiveness of the current antileishmanial and antischistosomal therapies are significantly declining, which calls for an urgent need of new effective and safe drugs. In Ethiopia fresh leaves of Ranunculus multifidus Forsk. are traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments including leishmaniasis and eradication of intestinal worms. In the current study, anemonin isolated from the fresh leaves of R. multifidus was assessed for its in vitro antileishmanial and antischistosomal activities. Anemonin was isolated from the hydro-distilled extract of the leaves of R. multifidus. Antileishmanial activity was assessed on clinical isolates of the promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania aethiopica and L. donovani clinical isolates. Resazurin reduction assay was used to determine antipromastigote activity, while macrophages were employed for antiamastigote and cytotoxicity assays. Antischistosomal assays were performed against adult Schistosoma mansoni and newly transformed schistosomules (NTS). Anemonin displayed significant antileishmanial activity with IC50 values of 1.33 nM and 1.58 nM against promastigotes and 1.24 nM and 1.91 nM against amastigotes of L. aethiopica and L. donovani, respectively. It also showed moderate activity against adult S. mansoni and NTS (49% activity against adult S. mansoni at 10 µM and 41% activity against NTS at 1 µM). The results obtained in this investigation indicate that anemonin has the potential to be used as a template for designing novel antileishmanial and antischistosomal pharmacophores. 相似文献

In order to explore novel antifungal agents, twenty-seven triazole derivatives featuring an alkyne linker in the side chain were designed and synthesized by the Sonogashira reaction. Most of the target compounds exhibited good antifungal activity against eight human pathogenic fungi, especially excellent activity against Candida and Cryptococcus species, comparing with the reference drugs fluconazole, voriconazole and ravuconazole. Compounds A2 and A3 exhibited in vitro activity against all the tested fungi with MIC80 values ranging from 0.0156 μg/mL to 0.5 μg/mL, which are superior to ravuconazole and fluconazole. SAR and molecular docking study give a clear conclusion that para-fluoro, para-chloro, and para-cyano substituted phenylalkynyl or pyridinylalkynyl side chains may promote triazole antifungal activity. 相似文献

Centella asiatica, as known as Pegagan was previously reported to have anti-hyperglycemic effects in animal diabetic model rats. However, its α-glucosidase activity in vitro assay not yet reported. Our goal in this study is to isolate and identify active compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitor and antioxidant from aqueous ethanol 70% (v/v) extract of C. asiatica. The extract was partitioned by n-hexane, EtOAc, and n-butanol sequentially. Among the fractions tested, EtOAc fraction was showed the highest antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with an IC50 values of 45.42 and 73.17 μg/mL, respectively. The antioxidant activity was conducted by determination of DPPH radical scavenging activity, whereas α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was determined against yeast α-glucosidase. Furthermore, isolation of the ethyl acetate extract yielded two active compounds, which were identified as kaempferol (1) and quercetin (2). Both of the compounds showed good yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 16.50 and 21.61 μg/mL, respectively. In addition those compounds also could scavenge DPPH radical activity with IC50 values of 9.64 and 11.97 μg/mL, respectively. Due to its ability in reducing α-glucosidase activity and scavenging free radical activity, the C. asiatica appears to be a potential as a good resource for future development of antioxidant and antidiabetic drug. 相似文献

An antifungal protein with a molecular mass of 14.3 kDa was isolated from the seeds of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) and designated as Ct protein. The antifungal protein was purified using different methods including ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 column. Ct protein formed a single colourless rod-shaped crystal by hanging drop method after 7 days of sample loading. The protein showed lytic activity against Micrococcus luteus and broad-spectrum, fungicidal activity, particularly against the most clinically relevant yeasts, such as Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus laurentii, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. It also exerted an inhibitory activity on mycelial growth in several mould species including Curvularia sp., Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp., Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus sp., and Sclerotium sp. The present study adds to the literature on novel seed proteins with antifungal activity. 相似文献
