This work aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities of pineapple peel extract-incorporated chitosan films establish its utility as an active food packaging film. Total phenol total flavonoids in ethanolic extract (11.1 ± 0.82 mg GAE/g sample, 3.86 0.4 Quercetin/g sample) were determined be higher than those methanolic (7.98 0.55 2.37 0.13 quercetin/g activity was observed f...

Importance of hospital environment in patient-care has been recognized widely infection prevention and control. Inappropriate antibiotic use led to emergence resistant strains that are difficult treat with the available antibiotics. Progress nanotechnology enhancement nanoparticles physicochemical characteristics functionality overcomes constraints common antimicrobials. Aim was investigate eff...

objective: antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have recently come into the spotlight in endodontic therapy. this study was conducted aiming at comparing the antimicrobial activity of a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver particles with that of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and candida albicans...

A series of synthesized 2,6-bis(tetracarboxamide)-pyridine and macrocyclic tripeptide derivatives 1-6 were previously prepared and screened as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. The compounds for evaluation of analgesic, anticonvulsant and antiparkinsonian activities were used. Analgesic activities of selected compounds determined by hot plate assay, all tested compounds sh...

This study describes the biological activity of the dried leaves, stem and rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The dried powders of the plant were extracted with organic solventsmethanol and pet ether sequentially by the maceration process. The crude extract of methanol and pet ether were then investigated for analgesic and antimicrobial activity. At an oral dose...

Fresh leaves of Erigeron floribundus were obtained, and its ethanolic extract was assessed for antimicrobial, antioxidant-free radical scavenging activity as well phytochemical constituents. Hemolytic activities also screened to know whether the will lyse blood agar. Six pathogenic bacteria; gram-positive, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium species, Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative: Klebsiella pn...
