Comparative Analysis of Chemical Profile and Biological Activity of L. Berry Extracts.

Researchers are looking for the most effective ways to extract the bioactive substances of L. berries, which are capable of displaying the greatest range of biological activity, namely antimicrobial potential "against phytopathogens", antioxidant activity and nematocidal activity. This study provides detailed information on the chemical activity, group composition and biological activity of the extracts of juniper berries of 1- and 2-year maturity (JB1 and JB2), which were obtained by using different solvents (pentane, chloroform, acetone, methanol and 70% ethanol) under various extraction conditions (maceration and ultrasound-assisted maceration (US)).

Five Different L. Species Ethanol Extracts' Phytochemical Composition and Their Antimicrobial and Nematocide Activity.

Among the plants that exhibit significant or established pharmacological activity, the genus L. deserves special attention. This genus comprises over 500 species belonging to the largest family.

Towards potential antifungal agents: synthesis, supramolecular self-assembly and activity of azole mono-, sesqui- and diterpenoids.

Terpenes and their derivatives are natural antifungal and antimicrobial agents. In this paper, potential antifungal agents were developed on the basis of farnesol, geraniol, myrtenol, perillyl alcohol, cedrol and phytol. The synthesized compounds exist in aqueous solutions as stable associates ( = 142-216 nm, PDI 0.

Layer-by-Layer Combination of MWCNTs and Poly(ferulic acid) as Electrochemical Platform for Hesperidin Quantification.

The electrochemical polymerization of suitable monomers is a powerful way to create voltammetric sensors with improved responses to a target analyte. Nonconductive polymers based on phenolic acids were successfully combined with carbon nanomaterials to obtain sufficient conductivity and high surface area of the electrode. Glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and electropolymerized ferulic acid (FA) were developed for the sensitive quantification of hesperidin.
