abstract: in a wide search program towards new and efficient antimicrobial agents, a series of 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives namely urazoles holding an alkyl moiety at position 4 have been synthesized and tested for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. the structures of these compounds have been investigated by spectral data. the synthesized compounds...

The seeds of black mahlab are used widely in the Sudanese traditional medicine as cosmomedical preparations for skin and mucous membrane disorders. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to verify this claim in scientific manner. Water and methanol extracts were tested against common pathogens for skin and mucous membrane infections. Assays were performed using extract concentrations ...

The paper highlights unique contribution gender equality one such woman, Eve Mahlab AO, through close examination her oral history, whic...

Aureobasidium pullulans is ubiquitous, polymorphic and black fungus producing a variety of important metabolites including enzymes, polysaccharides and single cell protein. It is considered as a probable source for antagonistic activity against a number of phytopathogenic fungi and possible biocontrol agent of post harvest diseases. The present work aims at the antibacterial compounds produced ...

starting from readily available 2-substituted-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1), the title compounds were prepared. the reaction of compound 1 (r=ch3) with formic acid yielded 1-(formyl)-2-(2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxyl) hydrazine (2). refluxing the latter with phosphorous pentasulfide in xylene afforded compound 3, the reaction of compound 2 with phosphorous pentoxide afforded...

three native turkish medicinal and aromatic plants (artemisia absinthum, artemisia santonicum and saponaria officinalis) were investigated to analyze their antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity. their total antioxidant activity was determined by using a β-carotene bleaching assay and their antimicrobial activity was determined by utilizing an agar disc diffusio...

Background: Essential Oils (EOs) of spices may serve as a potential source of antibacterial and antioxidant agents due to the presence of a diverse group of phytochemicals. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to seek EOs from five commonly used spices that have both strong antibacterial and antioxidant potential to shed some light on these important aspects. Methods: In vitr...

Over the years, several studies have brought evidence suggesting that tea polyphenols, mostly from green tea, may have oral health benefits. Since few data are available concerning the beneficial properties of black tea and its theaflavin derivatives against periodontal disease, the objective of this study was to investigate their antibacterial activity as well as their ability to modulate inte...

nano dithiocarbamate (dtc) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. reaction conditions such as the ligand dtc and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. the dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...
