The temporal gradation of antioxidants was investigated on the phloem tissue of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] in response to weather conditions and colonization levels of Ips typographus L. (Col., Scolytidae). Two weeks after pheromone dispensers were placed on trees, the initial reaction of Norway spruce to bark beetle attack resulted in moderately lowered levels of total glutathione...

Abstract Colloids are an important component of wines, but their study is challenging due to instability. Asymmetrical Flow-Field Flow Fractionation (AF4)-multidetection here proposed as a suitable approach isolate and characterize red wine colloids in native state. AF4 provided size-separation enabled quantification the colloidal content two wines. The gyration radius was determined by multi-a...

Cancer is one of the most major diseases that threatens human health and life. The aim of this work was to obtain novel anticancer molecules from D. fragrans, a kind of medicinal plant. The structure of the new compound was identified using spectroscopic data (¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR and two dimensions NMR). Its anticancer properties were evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-...
