Traditional medicine and ecological cues can both help to reveal bioactive natural compounds. Indigenous Australians have long used kino from trunks of the eucalypt tree, Corymbia citriodora, in traditional medicine. A closely related eucalypt, C. torelliana, produces a fruit resin with antimicrobial properties that is highly attractive to stingless bees. We tested the antimicrobial activity of...

Five new compounds, lippianosides A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), along with 26 (6-31) known ones were obtained from the 95% EtOH extract of Lippia triphylla (L. triphylla) aerial parts collected from Rwanda, Africa. Among the known compounds, 11 and 17-30 were isolated from the Lippia genus for the first time. In addition, 12, 13, and 16 were firstly obtained from this species. The stru...

A study to reveal spatial distribution patterns in four characteristic dry forest tree species was undertaken in six one-hectare plots in the Cerros de Amotape National Park, northwestern Peru. The modified Ripley’s K statistic was used. Eriotheca ruizii (K. Schum.) A. Robyns (Bombacaceae), Bursera graveolens (Kunth) Triana & Planch. (Burseraceae), Caesalpinia glabrata Kunth (Leguminosae) and C...

INTRODUCTION There are few studies reporting the antifungal activities of Lippia alba extracts. METHODS A broth microdilution assay was used to evaluate the antifungal effects of Lippia alba extracts against seven yeast species of Candida and Cryptococcus. The butanol fraction was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS The butanol fraction showed the highest activity ...

Abstract Fire frequently causes strong disturbance in forests. Belowground fungi are sensitive to forest fire and can affect vegetation restoration. Our objective was investigate the responses of belowground under two tree species a mixed Yunnan Plateau. Samples from three ‘sample sites’ (roots, rhizosphere soil bulk soil) were collected plant species, Pinus yunnanensis Eucalyptus citriodora, a...
