Physicochemical Characterization, Antioxidant, and Proliferative Activity of Colombian Propolis Extracts: A Comparative Study.

Propolis extracts have been widely studied due to their popularity in traditional medicine, presenting incredible biodiversity. This study aimed to analyze propolis extracts' phytochemical, physicochemical, and biological activities from four different biogeographic zones of the Huila region (Colombia). The raw material samples were collected by the scraping method and the ethanolic extracts (EEPs) were obtained by cold maceration with ethanol (96%).

Quinolizidine-Type Alkaloids: Chemodiversity, Occurrence, and Bioactivity.

Quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) are nitrogen-containing compounds produced naturally as specialized metabolites distributed in plants and animals (e.g., frogs, sponges).

Antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum of quinolizidines isolated from three controlled-growth Genisteae plants: structure-activity relationship implications.

The Genisteae tribe belongs to the Fabaceae family. The wide occurrence of secondary metabolites, explicitly highlighting the quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs), characterizes this tribe. In the present study, twenty QAs (1-20), including lupanine (1-7), sparteine (8-10), lupanine (11), cytisine and tetrahydrocytisine (12-17), and matrine (18-20)-type QAs were extracted and isolated from leaves of three species (i.

Identification of Anti-Proliferative Compounds from Seeds through Covariate-Based Integration of Chemical Fingerprints and Bioactivity Datasets.

Quinolizidine-Based Variations and Antifungal Activity of Eight Species Grown under Greenhouse Conditions.

is an aggressive phytopathogen that affects various plant species, resulting in extensive local and global economic losses. Therefore, the search for competent alternatives is a constant pursuit. Quinolizidine alkaloids (QA) are naturally occurring compounds with diverse biological activities.
