Aspergillus Secondary Metabolite Database, a resource to understand the Secondary metabolome of Aspergillus genus.

Aspergillus is a genus of ubiquitous fungi that are pathologically & therapeutically important. Aspergillus Secondary Metabolites Database (A2MDB) is a curated compendium of information on Aspergillus & its secondary metabolome. A2MDB catalogs 807 unique non-redundantsecondary metabolites derived from 675 Aspergillus species.

Isolation and characterization of phthalates from Brevibacterium mcbrellneri that cause cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest.

Bacteria belonging to the family Brevibacterieae are ubiquitous Gram positive organisms that are responsible for the feet odour and cheese aroma. is a relatively new member belonging to Brevibacterieae. In the current manuscript we discuss isolation of biologically active metabolites from .

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of stigmasterol & hexacosanol is responsible for larvicidal and repellent properties of Chromolaena odorata.

Background: Chromolaena odorata, has been traditionally known for its insect repellent property. Aim of this study was to determine larvicidal tendency of C. odorata on Culex quinquefasciatus and isolate compounds responsible for this activity and to determine the mechanism of action of these compounds.
