Biosynthesis, characterizations and applications of nanoparticles have become an important branch of nanotechnology nowadays. In this paper, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the alcoholic extract of Clerodendron infortunatum as a reducing and stabilizing agent, has been discussed. This biosynthetic method is simple, cost-effective and reproducible. Formation of AgNPs was es...

background: although cockroaches are mechanical vector of many pathogens, still biological transmission of pathogens via these insects is controversial. more covenant immune defense in the hemolymph of cockroaches may take this ad­vantage to block any adaptation of pathogens regarding to biological transmission. lectin molecules in hemolymph of in­sects play as mediators of nonself recognition,...

Five phenolic glycosides, clerodenoside A (1), seguinoside K (2), cistanoside D (3), verbascoside (4), and isoverbacoside (5) were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of methanolic extract Clerodendrum inerme stems. Their structures determined by spectroscopic analysis comparison spectral data with those reported in literature. Compound 3 was this plant for first time.
