TL;DR: Folklore plants like Azadirachta indica, Calendula officinalis, and Piper retrofractum have compounds that can combat Chikungunya Virus by inhibiting viral replication. Potential for new treatments.
Study tested antibacterial effects of 8 essential oils on P. multocida and M. haemolytica isolates. Lemongrass oil most potent. Different effects seen with agar diffusion and microdilution methods. Important for potential phytotherapeutic treatments.
Anionic cellulose nanofibers stabilized antioxidant and antimicrobial emulsions with olive fruit and thyme oil. Coated paper inhibited Listeria monocytogenes growth and emitted antioxidants. Potential for active food packaging.
Researchers developed an antifungal film using fermented walnut meal to preserve Rosa roxburghii Tratt. Ultrasonic treatment improved film properties and reduced microbial growth, offering a sustainable solution for food packaging.
The study explored Withania somnifera's anti-microbial, anti-neuropathic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Withanolide A was identified as the most active compound. Nano-cubosomes improved its efficacy, particularly CUB 3, showing potential as a drug-delivery system for neuropathy and inflammation.
Researchers explored phytochemicals from Syzygium cumini for potential efficacy against antimicrobial resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Beta-Glucogallin and Dihydro Dehydro Coniferyl alcohol showed strong interactions with the pathogen's ATP binding domain AgrC, making them promising candidates for new antibiotics against AMR infections.
Researchers studied clove and black pepper extracts for their potential as alternative antimicrobial agents due to increasing antibiotic resistance. The extracts have a history of traditional medicinal and culinary use.
Researchers studied using gold nanoparticles as antibacterial agents against Streptococcus Mutans and Candida Albicans. They aim to create an environmentally sustainable nano-platform with exceptional antimicrobial properties for dental care.
