Two new cyclohexanone derivatives, nectriatones A-B (-), and one new natural product, nectriatone C (), together with three known phenolic sesquiterpene derivatives (-), were isolated from the culture of sp. B-13 obtained from high-latitude soil of the Arctic. The structures of all compounds were unambiguously elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, as well as by comparison with the literature. These compounds were evaluated in cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. Compounds - showed cytotoxicities against SW1990, HCT-116, MCF-7, and K562 cells, with IC values in the range of 0.43 to 42.64 μM. Only compound exhibited antibacterial activity against , , and (MIC 4.0, 2.0, and 4.0 μg/ml, respectively).

Plants and microorganisms coexist within complex ecosystems, significantly influencing agricultural productivity. Depending on the interaction between the plant and microbes, this interaction can either help or harm plant health. Microbes interact with plants by secreting proteins that influence plant cells, producing bioactive compounds like antibiotics or toxins, and releasing molecules such as N-acyl homoserine lactones to coordinate their behaviour.

A medicinal plant is any plant that in one or more of its organs contains substances that can be used by it or their constituent for therapeutic purposes. The present work was done to evaluate pharmacognostic, fluorescence, proximate and phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extracts of Cistanche tubulosa (Orobanchaceae) along with antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains S.

Background: Flavonoids are naturally occurring dietary phytochemicals with significant antioxidant effects aside from several health benefits. People often consume them in combination with other food components. Compiling data establishes a link between bioactive flavonoids and prevention of several diseases in animal models, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Hepatic metabolism is an important process for evaluate the potential activity and toxicity of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) metabolites. Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has advocated the development of in vitro assays that mimic in vivo hepatic metabolism to eventually replace classical animal tests. In response to this need, we established a 3D mouse liver organoid (mLO) platform that mimics the animal model and is distinct from existing models.

As part of our plan to discover new bioactive ingredients from entomophagous fungi, a new macrolide compound, talarolide (1), and a new bioactive natural product, talarenal (2), with two known compounds, WF-3681 methy ester (3) and aspergillumarin A (4) were isolated from an insect derived strain GIZ45-A37. The structures were determined based on extensive comprehensive spectroscopic (NMR and HR-ESI-MS) analyses and compared with literature values. The relative configuration of 1 was defined by DFT-NMR chemical shift calculations and subsequent DP4/DP4+ probability methods.
