Binding of Mammea A/AA (MA) to calf thymus DNA revealed by the ratiometric absorbance of MA in the UV-visible range molecular dynamic simulations and TD-DFT calculations.

The anti-proliferative activity of on a variety of cancer cells was previously demonstrated. This work strives to understand the mechanisms by which exerts this biological activity. Thereafter, the binding of to calf thymus DNA was studied by monitoring the change in the UV-visible absorbance of .

Rotenoids and Isoflavones from (Taub.) Mendonça & E.P. Souza and Their Biological Activities.

The phytochemical study of the ethanolic extract of the leaf of led to the isolation of five hitherto unreported compounds including two isoflavones (-), and three rotenoids (-), along with eight known isoflavonoid derivatives (-) and one pterocarpan derivative (). The structures of the new compounds and those of the known ones were established by the spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR) and spectrometric (HRESIMS) techniques as well as a comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. The leaf extract, fractions, and isolated compounds were tested for their antibacterial effects against nine bacterial strains.

Bioactive constituents from Hook.f. (Flacourtiaceae).

The chemical investigation of the methanolic root extract of led to the isolation of a new arylbenzoate derivative, vogelinal (), together with thirteen known compounds (). The structures of the isolates were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses (1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS) and by comparison with previously reported data. All the compounds were tested for their antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial activities.

In vitro effects of aqueous extract from Maytenus senegalensis (Lam.) Exell stem bark on egg hatching, larval migration and adult worms of Haemonchus contortus.

Background: Maytenus senegalensis is a common shrub which is scattered in tropical Africa. Different parts of this plant have been reported to be useful in traditional medicine against gastrointestinal disorders and intestinal worms. This study evaluated the anthelmintic activity of the aqueous stem bark extract of M.

Biological activities of plant extracts from and : An antimalarial, antitrypanosomal and cytotoxity evaluation.

The cytotoxic, antiplasmodial, and antitrypanosomal activities of two medicinal plants traditionally used in Cameroon were evaluated. Wood of Roxb. ex Hornem.
