Verbesina encelioides belongs to the Asteraceae family and also known as golden crown beard wild sunflower. In present study callus was raised from leaf explant of V. encelioides. Callus obtained on MS medium. The used for antifungal activity identification. in-vitro anti-fungal Candida albicans gave most effective response out all studied fungi, with best being displayed in methanol extract fo...

The study involved synthesis of five novel amino acid derivatives of phosphatidylethanolamine isolated from egg yolk lecithin employing a three step procedure i) N-protection of L-amino acids with BOC anhydride in alkaline medium ii) condensation of - CO2H group of N-protected amino acid with free -NH2 of PE by a peptide linkage and iii) deprotection of N-protected group of amino acids to obtai...

A series of 5-substituted-2-furoyl diacylhydazide derivatives with aliphatic chain were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The anti-tumor bioassay revealed that some title compounds exhibited promising activity against the selected cancer cell lines, especially against the human promyelocytic leu...

chalcone (1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-one) derivatives have been introduced as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. in the present study, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of eight novel compounds were evaluated in male mice and wistar rats by using the writhing and formalin-induced paw edema tests respectively. the activities of the compounds were compared with celecoxib as a referenc...

This study investigated the chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-wood-decay fungal activities of the essential oil isolated from the twigs of Taiwania cryptomerioides from Taiwan. The essential oil was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 35 compounds were identified, representing 100% of the oil. ...
