Despite several reports on the beneficial effects of buckwheat in prevention of human diseases, little attention has been devoted to the variability of biochemical and physiological traits in different buckwheat genetic resources. This review describes the biochemical evaluation of buckwheat genetic resources and the identification of elite genotypes for plant breeding and exploitation. The var...

In higher plants, long-chain fatty acid hydroperoxides are intermediates in the synthesis of a diverse group of bioactive compounds. We used the reverse trascriptase-polymerase chain reaction to isolate a gene responsible for the oxidization of fatty acids from Petunia hybrida. A P450 cDNA not isolated earlier, CYP92B1, contained an open reading frame predicted to encode a polypeptide consistin...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate chemical, biochemical properties and nutritional value Spirulina algae powder. dried spirulina contained (53.8%) protein, (5.92%) lipid; beside total carbohydrates, ash, crude fiber 15.13, 9.67 3.32%; respectively. The had seven essential amino acids; histidine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, isoleucine leucine. a valuable amo...

synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3h)ones via-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid i to benzoxazine iii, further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...

The present study reports in silico investigation of bioactive compounds from marine microalgae capable escalating copepod fecundity potential through enhanced heat shock protein (HSP-70) production. structure ligand (bioactive microalgae) and hsp-70 obtained the databases PubChem Protein Data Bank (PDB), respectively. Molecular Docking was performed by GOLD software interaction pathways using ...

Members of Ganoderma genus, belong to Basidiomycota, such as Ganoderma applanatum and Ganoderma lucidum have been noticed in traditional and modern medicine and pharmacology for their medicinal properties and bioactive compounds. The present study is undertaken to determine whether there is difference between chemical properties of G. applanatum and G. lucidum. The fresh mature fruiting bodies ...

An enantioselective β-carbon amination for enals is disclosed. The nitrogen atom from a protected hydrazine with suitable electronic properties readily behaves as a nucleophile. Addition of the nitrogen nucleophile to a catalytically generated N-heterocyclic-carbene-bound α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediate constructs a new carbon-nitrogen bond asymmetrically. The pyrazolidinone products ...

Antioxidants are essential in maintaining physical health as they reduce the adverse effects caused by free radical attacks. Free radicals involve many oxidation processes body and may lead to malfunctions of tissues, resulting degenerative diseases. This article comprehensively reviews possible mechanisms lactic acid bacteria (LAB) increasing antioxidant capacity fermented foods resulted compo...

AIM This study was designed to investigate the bioactive compounds in Costus afer Ker Gawl, an indigenous African medicinal plant whose leaf and stem extracts are used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, especially rheumatism and arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bioactive compounds present in the n-butanol fractions of C. afer leaf and stem were identified using qualitative...

A synthesis of two (S)-phenylalanine derivatives is described which have the all-cis, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorocyclohexyl motif attached to the aromatic ring at the meta and para positions; the para substituted isomer is elaborated into illustrative dipeptides via the free amine and carboxylate respectively demonstrating its utility as a novel amino acid for peptide synthesis and offering a vehicle f...
