Phytochemical Profile of the Ethanol Extract of Malvaviscus arboreus Red Flower and Investigation of the Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxic Activities.

Flowers are rich sources of bioactive antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer components. This study aimed to determine the constituents of the ethanol extract of Malvaviscus arboreus red flower (ERF) by GC-MS analysis and HPLC identification of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, in addition to the 1HNMR fingerprint. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of the ERF were investigated.

and β-lactamase inhibitory properties and phytochemical profile of cultivated in central delta of Egypt.

Context: Some studies reported the chemical content and antimicrobial properties of L. (Lamiaceae), relevant to the ecological variations in some areas of Egypt and other countries, yet no research was conducted on the plant cultivated in the central delta region of Egypt. Also, no previous data reported on inhibition of β-lactamases by

Objective: To assess β-lactamases inhibition by extracts and the individual constituents.

Antibacterial activity and wound healing potential of Cycas thouarsii R.Br n-butanol fraction in diabetic rats supported with phytochemical profiling.

Patients with diabetes mellitus often suffer from chronic wounds due to wound healing impairment. Considering the increased prevalence of diabetes, this would predispose significant medical, economic, and social problems. These chronic wounds are frequently infected with pathogenic bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which complicates the situation and makes the wound healing process more difficult.

Synthesis and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol/corn starch/linseed polyol-based hydrogel loaded with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles.

Nanocomposite hydrogel film was prepared from Polyvinyl alcohol [PVA], Corn Starch [CS], Linseed oil polyol [LP], and silver nanoparticles [NP]. LP was prepared by epoxidation and hydration of Linseed oil [LO]. IR and NMR supported the insertion of hydroxyl groups in LP by epoxide ring opening reaction at epoxidized LO.

Flavonoidal Constituents, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxic Activities of Grown in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Decne. herb is one of the common traditional plants with multiple medicinal uses.

Objective: To isolate the major constituents and to investigate the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities of this herb.

In-vitro cytotoxic activities of the major bromophenols of the red alga Polysiphonia lanosa and some novel synthetic isomers.

Bioassay-guided fractionation was applied to the cytotoxic chloroform fraction of the red alga Polysiphonia lanosa. The major compounds of the most active fraction were identified using GLC-MS analysis as lanosol (1), methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl ethers of lanosol (1a, 1b, and 1c, respectively), and aldehyde of lanosol (2), although 1b appears to be an artifact arising during the fractionation procedure. These compounds and other known bromophenols were synthesized in addition to four novel isomers (3, 3a-c).
