Anti-staphylococcal plant natural products.
The occurrence of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of this organism necessitate the discovery of new classes of anti-staphylococcal drug leads. At present there are no single chemical entity plant derived antibacterials used clinically, and this biologically diverse group deserves consideration as a source of chemical diversity for two impo...

Article Type: Review There are many difficulties and deficiencies in chemotherapeutic drugs especially drug resistances that appear in cancer chemotherapy. In spite of the fact that chemotherapeutic drugs are very effective, severe side effects limit the use of these drugs. People have to pay more attention to natural sources of cancer drugs to increase the anti-cancer agents present in the dru...
متن کاملAccumulation of cholesteryl ester and lipid droplets in macrophages after uptake of cholesterol-rich necrotic products.
The prevalence of degenerated cells in the thickened intima of cholesterol-fed animals suggested that necrotic regions might become a focus for lesion development by attracting histiocytes or monocytes. We propose that cholesterol-rich necrotic products scavenged by macrophages incite the accumulation of cholesteryl ester and the formation of cholesteryl ester droplets. The feasibility of this ...
متن کاملPlant-Derived Natural Products as Sources of Anti-Quorum Sensing Compounds
Quorum sensing is a system of stimuli and responses in relation to bacterial cell population density that regulates gene expression, including virulence determinants. Consequently, quorum sensing has been an attractive target for the development of novel anti-infective measures that do not rely on the use of antibiotics. Anti-quorum sensing has been a promising strategy to combat bacterial infe...
