Biological Activities of Lipopolysaccharide-Like Substance (LLS) Extracted fromLeptospira interrogansSerovarcanicolaStrain Moulton

Photodynamic antiviral substance extracted from chlorella cells.

An antiviral substance was found in extracts of chlorella cells which inactivates arboviruses as well as vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Partial characterization of the active component revealed that it is a substance soluble in a number of organic solvents and appears to act photodynamically on the viruses. Cells of Chlorella ellipsoidae, cultured heterotrophically in a tank, were harvested ...

Chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils extracted from Korean endemic citrus species.

The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of 14 kinds of citrus oils and to test their biological activities. Citrus essential oils were obtained by steam distillation from immature fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)- flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Limonene (55.4% to 91.7%), myrcene (2.1% to 32.1%), alpha-pinene (0.6...

Antimicrobial Activities of Tannins Extracted from Rhizophora

LIM, S. H., DARAH, I. & JAIN, K. 2006. Antimicrobial activities of tannins extracted from Rhizophora apiculata barks. Tannin which was extracted from barks of Rhizophora apiculata was further separated into hydrolysable and condensed tannin. The results of the study revealed that only hydrolysable tannin showed significant antibacterial and antiyeast activities but not antifungal activity. The ...

Nanocurcumine Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharide-induced Depressive-like Behavior in Mice

Objective(s): Curcumin, a plant alkaloid from Curcuma longa, possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, the antidepressant activities of curcumin were reported. Nevertheless, bioavailability of curcumin limits its therapeutic utility. Nanotechnology is a developing field that potentially enhances bioavailability and the plasma concentration of curcumin. This study investiga...
