Cholinesterase Inhibitory, Anti-oxidant and Anti-tyrosinase Activities of Three Iranian Species of Dracocephalum

Background and objectives: Dracocephalum species are mentioned in Iranian traditional medicine for enhancement of cognitive performance. In the present study, the acetyl cholinesterase inhibitory and butyryl cholinesterase inhibitory activities as well as the anti-oxidant and anti-tyrosinase effects of three Iranian Dracocephalum species (D. kotschyi,...

Isolation and Characterisation of Actinobacteria from Algerian Sahara Soils with Antimicrobial Activities

Extreme ecosystems can be a source of untapped micro-organisms able to produce novel bioactive compounds of industrial interest. Consequently, in this work, 32 Actinomycetes were isolated from 6 soil samples collected from Algerian Sahara in searching for untapped producers of novel antimicrobial compounds. All the isolates were further subjected to antimicrobial screening against pathogenic ba...

Assessment of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cholinesterase and cytotoxic activities of Henna (Lawsonia inermis) flowers

Lawsonia inermis flowers were evaluated for chemical and biological properties for the first time. Extracts were prepared successively by hexane, chloroform and methanol. Phenolics (7.8-239.0g gallic acid equivalent/kg of dry mass), tannins (12.5148.5mg cathechin equivalent/kg of dry mass) and flavonoids (36.2-43.75mg quercetin equivalent/kg of dry mass) were quantified. Methanol extract has a ...
