In the screening for actinomycetes with anticancer property, fifty two isolates were isolated using a starch casein agar medium from twenty marine sediment samples collected from the southeast coastal regions of India. Ten morphologically different isolates were selected and screened for cytotoxic active isolate by Brine shrimp lethality assay. One of the most potent isolate was selected for id...

A follow-up chemical investigation to methanol extract of Conyza dioscoridis (Family Asteraceae) led to the isolation of seven compounds (1-7). The isolated compounds identified as 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl-2-O-[6-deoxy-α-Lmannopyranosyl-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate]-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), rutin (2), isoquercetin (3), E-caffeic acid (4), gallic acid (5), quercetin (6), β-Sitosterol...

ABSTRACT: Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Allium sativum (garlic) and Curcuma longa (turmeric) have been used as antifungal agents. The main aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of these natural products towards C. albicans and on their pharmacological and toxicity aspects. Thus, agar disc diffusion method was used to study the antifungal activity of...

The present investigation was undertaken in order to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of two D-galactose-binding lectins using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay technique. Both lectins were purified from the marine invertebrates, sea hare Aplysia kurodai eggs and polychaete Perineries nuntia by conventional affinity chromatography methods. The molecular mass of Aplysia kurodai egg lectin (AKL) w...
