Flavones (from the Latin flavus, which means “yellow”) are a kind of flavonoid with backbone 2-phenylchromen-4-one. Flavones, one most important classes plant secondary metabolites, well-known for their anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-osteoporatic, anti-diabetic, anti-estrogenic, anti-allergic, and metal chelating properties. These family compounds have been in...

Background: Artemisia species with common Persian name of Dermaneh are found all over Iran and are used for treatment in infectious diseases such as malaria, hepatitis and other diseases. Some Artemisia species are used in traditionally as tonic and anti-helmintic in north of Iran. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate chemical composition of the essential oil of Artemisia haussk...

Enterococcus faecalis is a pathogenic Gram-positive bacterium, which mainly infects humans through urinary tract infections. SrtA is an essential enzyme for survival of E. faecalis, and inhibition of this particular enzyme will reduce the virulence of biofilm formation. It is proved to be associated with the microbial surface protein embedded signal transduction mechanism and promising as a sui...

BACKGROUND Caryota urens is a member of the Arecaceae family and a common plant in the Southeast Asian region. This plant has been reported as an anti-microbial agent in recent years. Thus, we aimed to find out the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) against different pathogenic microorganism. METHODS The leaves of C. urens were extracted and fractioned using different reagents (chloroform...

Oceans have borne most of the biological activities on our planet. A number of biologically active compounds with varying degrees of action, such as anti-tumor, anti-cancer, anti-microtubule, anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, photo protective, as well as antibiotic and antifouling properties, have been isolated to date from marine sources. The marine environment also represents a largely unexplore...

Spilanthes acmella, also identified as Akarkara (Toothache plant), is a crucial herb with immense applications both in the medical well dental field. Its biologically active component, Spilanthol, believed to be responsible for an array of wields like anti-toothache, analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diuretic anti-oxidant, immune-modulatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer agent,...

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are naturally occurring molecules belonging to highly reactive organosulphur synthons, with the general structure R–N=C=S. The precursor molecule glucosinolate anions are hydrolyzed enzymatically (under the effect of myrosinase enzymes) or unenzymatically to produce nitriles or isothiocyanates depending upon conditions such as pH and temperature. Brassicaceae  Family is k...
