Naturally Derived Malabaricone B as a Promising Bactericidal Candidate Targeting Multidrug-Resistant also Possess Synergistic Interactions with Clinical Antibiotics.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) superbugs underlines the urgent need for innovative treatment options to tackle resistant bacterial infections. The clinical efficacy of natural products directed our efforts towards developing new antibacterial leads from naturally abundant known chemical structures. The present study aimed to explore an unusual class of phenylacylphenols (malabaricones) from as antibacterial agents.

Mechanical superiority of Pseudoxytenanthera bamboo for sustainable engineering solutions.

The advancement in natural fibre composites has replaced synthetic fibres in various commercial sectors. Bamboo species possess high mechanical properties due to their lignocellulosic fibre content, which makes them suitable for engineering applications and potential alternatives to solid wood. However, despite Bamboo being composed of 130 genera and 1700 different species, out of which many still remains underexplored.

The Anti-Biofilm Potential of Linalool, a Major Compound from , against and Its Toxicity Assessment in .

The anti-biofilm and anti-virulence potential of the essential oil (E.O.) extracted from M.

Antiproliferative labdane diterpenes from the rhizomes of Hedychium flavescens Carey ex Roscoe.

Antiproliferative activity was confirmed in the various extracts of rhizomes of Hedychium flavescens (Zingiberaceae). The phytochemical investigation of the rhizomes of Hedychium flavescens led to the isolation of four labdane diterpenes. Their structures were established as coronarin E (1), C-14 epimers of isocoronarin D (2), C-15 epimers of coronarin D methyl ether (3) and isocoronarin D (4).

Zerumbone, a Cyclic Sesquiterpene from Zingiber zerumbet Induces Apoptosis, Cell Cycle Arrest, and Antimigratory Effects in SW480 Colorectal Cancer Cells.

Zerumbone isolated from the rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbet was investigated for the mechanisms by which it exhibits antiproliferative activity in colorectal cancer cells (SW480). The results indicated that the zerumbone suppressed cell growth and enhanced cell apoptosis. Exposure to zerumbone induced generation of reactive oxygen species, reduced the cellular antioxidant status, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and activated caspase 3, caspase 8, and caspase 9 (p < 0.

Chemical profile, antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of rhizome oil of Zingiber anamalayanum from Western Ghats in India.

Volatile oil from fresh rhizomes of Zingiber anamalayanum was isolated by hydrodistillation and characterised by GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-one out of 24 constituents comprising 99.47% of the oil were identified.

Composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oil from the fruits of Amomum cannicarpum.

Essential oil from the fruits of Amomum cannicarpum (Wight) Bentham ex Baker (Zingiberaceae) was hydrodistilled and characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Major constituents of the oil were beta-pinene (14.00%), elemol (10.

Caryophyllene-rich rhizome oil of Zingiber nimmonii from South India: Chemical characterization and antimicrobial activity.

Volatile oil from the rhizomes of Zingiber nimmonii (J. Graham) Dalzell was isolated, characterized by analytical gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Sixty-five constituents accounting for 97.

Chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the rhizome oil of Hedychium larsenii.

The composition of essential oil from the rhizomes of Hedychium larsenii M. Dan & Sathish was examined by GC-FID and GC-MS techniques. 99% of the oil consisted of monoterpenoids.
