Extracts from ‘Zhéri’ and ‘Hicaznar’ varieties of pomegranate, Punica granatum L., were obtained by subjecting powdered peels to extraction using water, water/ethanol (1:1; v/v), ethanol, acetone heptane. Using the agar diffusion assay, extracts with water and/or ethanol shown display significant antimicrobial activity diameters inhibition zones up 20 mm. Ethanolic extracts, which most active, ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the causative agent of end-stage liver disease. Recent advances in the last decade in anti HCV treatment strategies have dramatically increased the viral clearance rate. However, several limitations are still associated, which warrant a great need of novel, safe and selective drugs against HCV infection. Towards this objective, we explored highly potent and selective ...

Objective: Influenza virus, which is associated with high level of morbidity and mortality, has been recently considered a public health concern; however, the methods of choice to control and treat it are limited.
