Mosquitocidal effect of monoterpene ester and its acetyl derivative from Blumea mollis (D. Don) Merr against Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) and their insilico studies.

The present study was conducted to assess the mosquitocidal efficiency of compound isolated from Blumea mollis (D. Don) Merr against Culex quinquefasciatus. Eggs and larvae of Cx.

Effect of monoterpene ester from (Lam.) DC and its acetyl derivative against plant pathogenic fungi and their molecular docking.

The present study was aimed to isolate active constituents from (Lam.) DC (Asteraceae) against phytopathogenic fungi. Bioactivity guided fractionation of the successive -hexane, chloroform and methanol extract led to the isolation of the monoterpene ester (4 ,5)-4-hydroxy-7-tigloyloxycarvotanacetone (1).

Fucoidan serves a neuroprotective effect in an Alzheimer's disease model.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory and cognitive deficits. The present study was carried out to evaluate the protective effects of fucoidan in monocrotophos induced AD in Drosophila melanogaster. In silico studies showed that fucoidan exhibited binding energy of -9.

Effect of tiliamosine, a bis, benzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Tiliacora acuminata (Lam.) Hook. f. & Thom on the immature stages of filarial mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus say (Diptera: Culicidae).

The present study was aimed to check the mosquitocidal activity of tiliamosine isolated from Tiliacora acuminata (Lam.) Hook. f.

Comparative studies of tripolyphosphate and glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan-botanical pesticide nanoparticles and their agricultural applications.

A nanopesticide formulation was developed using chitosan and a botanical pesticide PONNEEM and its antifeedant, larvicidal and growth regulating activities were screened against Helicoverpa armigera, a major lepidopteran pest. Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNs) were prepared by using two different cross-linking agents namely glutaraldehyde (GLA) and tripolyphosphate (TPP). The effects of cross linking agents on CSNs and the biological properties against the insect pest were also studied.

Cancer chemopreventive potential of luteolin-7-O-glucoside isolated from Ophiorrhiza mungos Linn.

The anticarcinogenic potential of the phytocompound Luteolin-7-O-Glucoside (LUT7G), isolated from the leaves of Ophiorrhiza mungos Linn, was studied against 4 different cancer cell lines (COLO 320 DM, AGS, MCF-7, and A549) and normal VERO cell line. The ability of LUT7G to induce apoptosis was determined by its antiradical activity, DNA fragmentation, expression of β-catenin, and chemopreventive efficacy in vivo by administering rats with DMH (20 mg/kg b.w.
