Objective: The aim of the study is to perform a computational consisting molecular docking for polyphenols subjected in silico studies identify new lead antimicrobial activity which has been reported yet or not used yet. Methods: Schrödinger Maestro 11.3 performed enzyme FabH (β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III) (PDB ID: 5BNR) with polyphenol. targeted compounds were docked against an...

The present study provides an in-depth characterisation of the non-anthocyanin and anthocyanin phenolic compounds potato peels from ten coloured varieties. Furthermore, underexplored bioactive potential (antioxidant, cytotoxic anti-inflammatory capacities) studied is comprehensively analysed. Among phenolics, caffeic a caffeoylquinic acid were found in highest concentrations all samples, which ...

Five paeonol glycosides, suffruticosides A, B, C, D, and E, and a monoterpene glucoside, galloyl-oxypaeoniflorin, were isolated from the glycosidic fraction of Chinese Moutan Cortex, the root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews, together with paeonolide, apiopaeonoside, galloyl-paeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, and paeoniflorin. The structures of five suffruticosides and galloyl-oxypaeoniflorin...

The repeated, independent evolution of phenotypic traits reflects adaptation to similar selective pressures. In some circumstances, parallel phenotypic evolution has a common genetic basis. Here, we investigate the types of genetic change responsible for the repeated evolution of red flowers among Ipomoea species. We identified three independent transitions from cyanidin- (blue/purple) to pelar...

From a 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of a MeOH extract of the leaves of Microtropis japonica, collected in the Okinawa islands, six ent-labdane glucosides, named microtropiosides A-F, were isolated together with one known acyclic sesquiterpene glucoside. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses, and their absolute configurations determined by application of the beta...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential cranberry extract as a valuable antibiofilm additive chitosan-based films intended for food packaging applications. Two types differing in plasticizers content (PEG alone or PEG and glycerol) were prepared by casting methodology. Cranberry-extracts proven be suitable presenting antioxidant (i.e. DPPH scavenging ability) antimicrobial ac...

In this study, the effect of postharvest coating chitosan (CH) 1.0%, gum ghatti (GG) 1.0% and combine each other, on nutritional properties, phenolic compounds antioxidant capacity ‘Rishbaba’ grape (Vitis vinifera L.) was evaluated during 60 days cold storage. Coating with CH solely or in combined GG caused a considerable retain berries acids compared to uncounted samples after 60th day. Moreov...

This study aimed to determine anthocyanins and their antioxidative and cardioprotective properties in defatted dabai parts. Anthocyanins in crude extracts and extract fractions of defatted dabai peel and pericarp were quantified using UHPLC, while their antioxidant capacity and oxidative stress inhibition ability were evaluated by using DPPH and CUPRAC assays as well as linoleic acid oxidation ...

The absolute stereochemistry of blumenol C glucoside and byzantionoside B was revised here as (6R,9S)- and (6R,9R)-9-hydroxymegastigman-4-en-3-one 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranosides, respectively, by modified Mosher's method. The empirical rules of (13)C-NMR chemical shift to determine the absolute stereochemistry of C-9 of 9-hydroxymegastigmane 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside were also discussed.
