Andrographis paniculata flower extract shows promise as an antifungal agent, inhibiting lung cancer cell growth and exhibiting anti-diabetic properties. Its bioactive compounds make it suitable for biomedical applications.
This study analyzed the structure and properties of A. trifoliata (Thunb.) Koidz polysaccharides (ATKPs). ATKPs showed good thermal stability and exhibited strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities, making them a promising resource for food with medicinal value.
Study tested the effectiveness of seed extract on the bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Findings could inform new treatments for periodontitis.
Extracts from have potent antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, and high toxicity against brine shrimp. Compounds from the extracts exhibit potential as anti-medication, targeting antibiotic resistance proteins. These extracts could be valuable in combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
The chloroform extract from exhibited strong antibacterial and antifungal activity. Six compounds were isolated, including previously undescribed ones. Majoranaquinone showed high antibacterial effect, inhibition of efflux pumps, and inhibition of biofilm formation. It should be considered for antimicrobial effects of .
Researchers evaluated the mechanism by which an extract from the root of the medicinal plant (L.) G. Don reverses ampicillin resistance in . The extract caused DNA damage, reduced plasmid band intensities, and decreased the expression of PBP2a protein, making the bacteria susceptible to the antibiotic ampicillin.
