BACKGROUND Quorum sensing is a microbial cell-to-cell communication process. Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release extracellular messenger molecules called autoinducers. Gram-positive and Gram-negative, homoserine lactones, and oligopeptides are autoinducers used to communicate and regulate gene expression. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the impact of subinhibitory conc...

Methanolic extracts of diff erent parts of fi ve medicinal plants, Ferula assafoetida L. resin, Grewia asiatica L. leaves, Ipomoea hederacea Jacq. seeds, Lepidium sativum L. seeds and Terminalia chebula Retz. fruits were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic, phytotoxic, insecticidal, nematicidal and anthelmintic activities. Ipomoea hederacea showed very signifi cant phytotoxic and cytotoxic acti...

Natural products and dietary components have earlier been proven as potential chemoprotective agents, and continuous efforts are in progress to search for such new products. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is widely used for treating the infections caused by many gram negative bacteria. However, besides other unwanted effects, the drug causes tubular cell necrosis in the proximal conv...

Seventeen daucane sesquiterpenoid esters, including a new one (4), were isolated from the root of Ferula hermonis Boiss. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and correlated with known compounds. The relative stereochemistry of the new compound was determined using 2D NOESY and the most stable and the lowest energy conformation was deter...

Effect of hexane extract of Ferula jaeschkeana has been studied on the histological and biochemical constituents of the uterus of ovariectomized rats. Its administration caused remarkable increase in the height of luminal epithelium and the number of uterine glands. Its per se treatment also caused significant increase in the glycogen and protein contents and the activity of acid and alkaline p...

Galbanic acid, a sesquiterpene coumarin from Ferula szowitsiana roots, was investigated for its potentiating effect on the antimicrobial activity of antibiotics as well as ethidium bromide, in 6 multidrug resistance (MDR) clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. Galbanic acid had inhibitory effect on none of the isolated bacteria tested (up to 800 μg /ml). The MIC range of ciprofloxacin, tet...
