Hydrogenated cardanol and cardols, contained in industrial grade cardanol oil and obtained by distillation of the raw "cashew nut shell liquid" (CNSL), are easily transformed into efficient 4-thiaflavane antioxidants bearing a long alkyl chain on A ring and a catechol group on B ring.

Methanolic leaf extracts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis were investigated for in vitro antifungal activities against Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, Tricophyton rubrum, Tricophyton schoenleinii, Tricophyton mentagrophytes and Epedermophyton floccosum. The studies were carried out using broth dilution method, agar dilution method and inhibitory zone estimation. The effects of the plant extr...

The essential oil of Pimenta dioica was isolated by hydro distillation and steam distillation. The aqueous extract was also taken. The antioxidant, total phenolic and the antimicrobial studies were conducted. The antimicrobial activity was significant. The IC50 value of extract and essential oil are 390 μg/ml and 2340 μg/ml respectively.

In this study, thyme essensial oil was extracted by water distillation method and was analysed by GS/MS, then we investigated the antifungal effect of this essential oil on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri. (A), Macrophomina phaseolina (B), Bipolaris spicifera (C) on the basis of agar dilution method with different concentrations (200, 400, 800 and 1600) The test was carried out with factorial e...

Candida species have emerged as important and common opportunistic human pathogens, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The current antifungal therapies either have toxic side effects or are insufficiently effect. The aim of this study is develop new small-molecule antifungal compounds by library screening methods using Candida albicans, and to evaluate their antifungal effects on Ca...

tanacetum parthenium l. known as feverfew is a medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens. it has been used in folk medicine for reducing fever. feverfew is a member of the daisy family; it is used primarily to prevent migraine headaches and to treat rheumatoid arthritis.it hasa colorless essential oil that contains one or more of the sesquiterpene lactones as active principle. tanasetum...

a shortcut procedure as quick, easy-to use method for design and simulation of multicomponent batch distillation is used to predict the operating condition of recovering xylene from solvent in an existing batch distillation column in benzol refinery. the procedure can be used to investigate the effect of the operating parameters on the operation of column for three possible modes of batch disti...
