Numerous reports describe the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of polyphenols-rich plant extracts. The aim of this study was to determine the total polyphenols content (TPC), and the (DPPH, FRAP and TEAC) antioxidant and antibacterial activity of leaves and wood of six native woody species (t, , , , and ) from Catamarca. Also, the phenolic profile was determined in the species with higher activity. leaf extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity followed by and while wood extracts showed the highest. Furthermore, species showed antibacterial activity against and strains showing cidal effects mainly against . Fifty-nine polyphenols were identified in leaves and wood of and . species, which are likely to be responsible for the different activities observed.

This study developed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from quinoa with high antibacterial activity and stability by mixed-bacteria fermentation. Furthermore, among 9 peptide fractions purified by membrane separation and chromatography, F1 could effectively inhibit the growth and propagation of bacterial microorganisms in apple juice. Subsequently, F1 identified LC-MS/MS as 95 peptides, molecular weights 494.

Gallium, a trace metal not found in its elemental form in nature, has garnered significant interest as a biocide, given its ability to interfere with iron metabolism in bacteria. Consequently, several gallium compounds have been developed and studied for their antimicrobial properties but face challenges of poor solubility and formulation for delivery. Organizing the metal into three-dimensional, hybrid scaffolds, termed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is an emerging platform with potential to address many of these limitations.

Introduction: Tree bacterial diseases are a threat in forestry due to their increasing incidence and severity. Understanding tree defence mechanisms requires evaluating metabolic changes arising during infection. Metabolite extraction affects the chemical diversity of the samples and, therefore, the biological relevance of the data.

Cervical cancer remains a significant health challenge in developing countries are high due to low HPV vaccination rates, delayed diagnosis, and restricted healthcare access. Metal nanomaterials, such as copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs), have shown significant promise in cancer therapy due to their ability to induce apoptosis. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) enhances the cytotoxic effect against cervical cancer, working synergistically with CuO NPs to maximize the therapeutic impact while potentially reducing the 5-Fu's systemic side effects.
