Abstract:

Different solvent extracts of a red algae, Hypnea flagelliformis,and two brown algae, Cystoseira myrica and Sargassum boveanum, collected from the Persian Gulf coast were subjected to different bioassays including: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, antibacterial and antifungal activity by thin layer chromatography (TLC)-bioautography, agar disc diffusion (ADD) and nutrient-broth micro-dilution (NBMD) bioassays. The water extracts were found to have the most antioxidant activity.The antibacterial minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the active extracts were determined for the susceptible organisms, Staphylococcus aurous and Bacillus subtilis, using NBMD bioassays.The active substances were identified as free fatty acids (FFA) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and after derivatization to their methyl esters, their concentrations were measured using GC- flame ionization detection (GC-FID). In addition to the fatty acids, fucosterol, cholesterol and 22-dehydroxychlosterol were detected as the major sterols in S. boveanum extract using GC-MS analyses.

Evaluation of in vitro anti-Leishmanial activity of some brown, green and red algae from the Persian Gulf.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Leishmaniasis is a protozoan parasitic disease which is transmitted by the female Phlebotomus sand fly and is prevalent in four continents.The first-choice treatment for the leishmaniasis is pentavalent antimonials, which are potentially toxic and often ineffective and use of them exhibit therapeutic failure. These pharmaceutical problems point towards the need to deve...

extraction and acetylation of purified trypsin from bovin pancreas and study of some its physico-chemical properties

آنزیم تریپسین در شرایط قلیایی ناپایدار می باشد .و فعالیت پروتئولیتیکی تریپسین منجربه خود هضمی آن در جایگاههای خاصی می گردد. بنابر این آنزیمی با ناپایداری بالا محسوب میگردد. در سالهای اخیر موفق شدند که با ایجاد تغیرات شیمیایی با اضافه کردن فلزات خاص ، کلسیم و یا عمل استیلاسیون منجر به افزایش پایداری آنزیم تریپسین گردند. مطالعات در حال حاضر نشان می دهد که تریپسین استیله شده فعالیت آنزیمی خود را ...

Antioxidant Activity of Extracts of Selected Algae from the Persian Gulf, Iran

In vitro antioxidant activity of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) and three brown seaweeds belonging to the division Phaeophyta were evaluated. The species Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa, Cystoseira myrica and U. lactuca were collected during low tide between March and June 2012 from the coastline of the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces), Iran.Ethyl acetate, n-Hexane and methanol e...
