Scientists are studying plant peptides for their ability to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering potential new solutions to antibiotic resistance.
Study evaluates essential oil's antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy on MDR Gram-negative bacteria. Showed high activity, synergy with antibiotics, and potential as a new antibacterial strategy. Essential oil could be used to develop new antibacterial molecules.
Study shows Thymus Essential Oil (TEO) inhibits HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication with low cytotoxicity. TEO could be a promising natural antiviral agent for further research and potential clinical applications.
Researchers studied the antifungal activity of a peptide derived from LfcinB, R-1-R, alone and combined with a plant extract. Proteomic analysis showed up-regulation of proteins related to membrane, cell wall biosynthesis, and more. Results suggest potential antifungal mechanisms for future research.
Researchers produced silver nanoparticles using bark extract from (Vell.) Brenan var. colubrina with potent antimicrobial activity against drug-resistant bacteria, showing potential for affordable, eco-friendly control of infections with minimal toxicity. Worth exploring for medical applications.
Researchers studied the antimicrobial properties of G. Don essential oil, finding compounds like neryl acetate, α-pinene, and γ-curcumene effective against bacteria, biofilms, and fungi. This info can guide cultivation practices for consistent quality and medical applications.
Tossers evaluated jostaberry extracts using different drying and extraction methods. Non-conventional methods protected anthocyanins, but drying reduced anthocyanin content. The extracts showed antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, making them valuable in food production for their red hues.
Scientists synthesized oleanolic acid derivatives with acyloxy groups for biopesticides. Compounds 8h and 8j showed strong anti-oomycete activity against P. capsici. The study suggests potential for new agricultural applications.
