Identification of Bioactive and Anticancer Properties of Bidens Pilosa in-vitro Evidence.

Objectives: Bidens pilosa and Trianthema portulacastrum are noteworthy weeds with a series of bioactive flavonoid constituents, hence, they can be utilized as potential health supplements and readily available sources of natural antioxidants, as well as effective constituents in medicinal applications. The current study aims to assess the anti-proliferative activity of B. pilosa and T.

The potential biological activities of -aided green synthesis of silver nanoparticles.

Biosynthetic metals have attracted global attention because of their safety, affordability, and environmental friendliness. As a consequence, the cell-free filtrate (CFF) of Dill leaf-derived endophytic fungus was employed for the extracellularly synthesis silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A reddish-brown color shift confirmed that AgNPs were successfully produced.

Bioprospecting endophytic fungi for antifeedants and larvicides and their enhancement by gamma irradiation.

The search and discovery of new natural products with antifeedant and larvicidal potentials to mitigate harmful insects are scientific pressing issues in the modern agriculture. In this paper, the antifeedant and larvicidal potentials of 69 fungal isolates were screened against the Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis. A total of 17 isolates showed the insecticidal potentials with three promising isolates.

Bioprospecting endophytic fungi for bioactive metabolites and use of irradiation to improve their bioactivities.

The search for new bioactive compounds with innovative modes of action and chemistry are desperately needed to tackle the increased emergence of drug-resistant microbes. With this view, this paper was conducted for the isolation, identification, and biological evaluation of fungal endophytes of eleven different plant species. A total of 69 endophytic strains were isolated and tested for the presence of bioactive metabolites with antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties in their extracts.
