seaweeds have caused an emerging interest in the biomedical area, mainly due to their contents of bioactive substances which show great potential as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-tumoral drugs. despite the diversity in quality and quantity of the mediterranean tunisian coast flora, with its large contains of marine organisms and seaweeds, most of them have not yet been ...

the methanolic extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols of six plants were investigated for their total phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities: mentha piperita (peppermint), thymus vulgaris   (thyme), melissa officinalis (lemon balm), ocimum basilicum (basil), rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and     salvia officinalis     (sage) (lamiaceae). total phenolic contents w...

a new series of transition metal complexes of co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii), has beensynthesized from the knoevenagel condensate schiff base ligand(l) derived from β-ketoanilideand furfural with o-phenylenediamine and diethylmalonate. structural features were determinedby spectral and analytical techniques. square-planar geometry has been adopted by thecomplexes except cobalt complex which ...
