This study investigated the phytochemicals in Pistacia lentiscus L. var. Chia leaves for antimicrobial properties. The extracts and compounds showed selective activity against pathogenic Mucorales. Important for pharmaceutical industry.
This study investigated the antimicrobial potential of uncooked and cooked garlic extracts. Cooking garlic decreases or eliminates its antimicrobial benefits, so consuming uncooked garlic is best for maximum effectiveness against bacteria and fungi.
The study explored the antimicrobial and anticancer properties of extracts from bilberry leaves and stems. These extracts contain high levels of beneficial compounds.
This study used microbiological techniques to identify fungal populations on a deteriorating artwork by Rembrandt. They tested eco-friendly antifungal agents, which effectively inhibited fungal growth. The study offers a nondestructive technique for controlling fungal growth on artworks.
Researchers extracted silver nanoparticles from a medicinal plant used in Ayurvedic medicine. Understanding their properties and applications could benefit scientific advancements in various fields.
Scientists studied the antifungal properties of phthalides, compounds found in Angelica sinensis. Understanding their effectiveness and mechanism could lead to new drugs for treating Aspergillus infection in immunocompromised patients.
Phyllanthus plants contain various compounds with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiulcer, antiviral, antitumor, and other health benefits. Docking experiments were performed to assess their potential activities against specific proteins. The results were compared to benchmark drugs ritonavir and ampicillin.
Researchers developed copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) and CuO NPs decorated with hematite nanocomposites (CuO@Fe2O3 NC) using a green method. CuO@Fe2O3 NC exhibited enhanced photocatalytic and antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2, making it valuable for disinfection and virus control.
