The use of mobile phase additives enhances the separation and resolution of the bioactive compounds on the C(18) column. Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, and scoparone from Herba Artemisiae Scopariae were investigated as the target compounds. Acetic acid, triethylamine, inorganic salts, and several ionic liquids were added as mobile phase additives into methanol/water (40:60, v/v). The re...

Fungal secondary compounds and total extracts are known to affect growth of bacteria, fungi, and plants. This study tested the effects of purified compounds and total extracts from three lichens on the growth of two plant pathogens, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi ssp. americana and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Usnic acid showed no reduction in relative growth rates (RGR), whereas vulpinic acid reduced RGR f...

Regular consumption of seafood and, in particular, fish has been associated with important health benefits. A product that increasingly included the human nutrition is roe. Despite its nutritional value established (fatty acid profile and protein content), knowledge composition aqueous extracts still limited. This work describes bioactive compounds roe-derived three different marine species (sa...

Accumulation of bioactive compounds, during developmental stages of Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther, was investigated between 30 and 90days as a function of physiological maturity. Three distinct phases were defined: immature phase (30days), intermediate developmental phase (30-60days), and maturation phase (60-90days). Gallic acid and quercetin, antioxidative bioactive compounds, were id...

Substituted Schiff bases (hydrazones) 5a-j have been prepared from the starting material 2-chloro pyridine-3-carboxylic acid 1 by a sequence of reactions like reaction with 2-amino-6-nitro benzothiazole (Ullamann condensation), thionyl chloride, hydrazine hydrate and different aromatic aldehydes. On cyclocondensation of 5a-j with thioglycolic acid in dry 1,4-dioxane furnished desired compounds ...

Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...

Tomato, as a fresh or processed product, has a high nutritional value due to its content of bioactive components such as phenolic compounds. Few studies describe the effect of processing on antioxidant content and the cancer cell growth inhibition activity. In this study we determined the phenolic and ascorbic acid content of three yellow tomato varieties, before and after thermal processing. M...

A new Ir(III)-NHC catalyst is reported that shows remarkable activity in the N-alkylation of unprotected amino acids. The catalytic system gives excellent selectivity toward monoalkylated α-amino acids and a high degree retention stereochemistry. wide range nonnatural have been prepared. These compounds represent an array building blocks could be used for direct synthesis peptidomimetics. amino...

Adiantum capillus-veneris is important endangered fern species with several medicinal properties. In this study, the leaves samples were extracted and separated using reversed phase HPLC with DAD for carotenoids, chlorophylls and phenolic compounds. Separation of carotenoids and chlorophylls were carried out using a tertiary gradient system of water, MTBE and methanol-water, while a binary grad...
