the object of this research was to find an alternative to fungicide for the prevention of postharvestfruits. therefore the effect of zataria multiflora essential oil on the quality of sultana grapes followingthe harvest was investigated. the essential oil was extracted by hydro-distillation and analyzed using acombination of gc and gc/ms. the results indicated a high percentage of anti-fungal c...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common pharmacological group that has three primary therapeutic effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-pyrexia, and analgesia. In this study, seven of NSAIDs were tested against two species of skin pathogenic fungi (dermatophytes). Percentage inhibition was determined for effective agents. Diclofenac, Aspirin and Naproxen showed muc...

The unusual amino acid l-cyclopropylalanine was isolated from the mushroom Amanita virgineoides after detection in an anti-fungal screening test. l-Cyclopropylalanine was found to exhibit broad-spectrum inhibition against fungi and bacteria. The anti-fungal activity was found to be abolished in the presence of the amino acid l-leucine, but not any other amino acids, indicating that l-cyclopropy...

Several pyridinylthiazolylazetidinones 4a-d, pyridinylthiazolythiazolidinones 5a-d and pyridinylthiazolylformazans 6a-d have been prepared from pyridinylthiazolylarylidines 3a-d. These compounds have been evaluated for insecticidal, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activities. Compound 2-[2'-(3"-chloro-2"-oxo-4"-ohydroxyphenyl-1"-azetidinyl)-1',3'-thiazol-4'-yl) aminopyridine 4c has been found to...

Sulphonamides are the first effective chemotherapeutic agents used for bacterial infection in humans. Sulfonamides have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as Oral hypoglycemic, antileprotic, anti epileptic, anti-hypertensive, anti-bacterial, anti-protozoal, anti-fungal, anti retroviral, anti cancer, antiinflammatory, and used as diuretic. This review consists of a discussion on the...

The Rhodium tris carboxylate of the type, RhL3 was prepared by the reaction of Rhodium trichloride with sodium salt of furoic acid in 1:3 stoichiometry. The complexes obtained were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. Based on spectroscopic data ligand coordination through oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group has been suggested. The metal complex ha...

Fungal pathogens like Rhizoctonia, Thielaviopsis, and Fusarium thrive in the soils of Arkansas and are a major threat to both emerging seedlings and established crops. For the Arkansas farmer, these and other fungal pathogens usually make fungicide application a necessary part of production. The toxicity, environmental harm, and expense that come with fungicides, though, leave many farmers look...

introduction: invasive fungal sinusitis, though considered to be rare entity, is nowadays frequently encountered, not only in immunocompromised patients but also in immunocompetent patients. the changing prevalence towards immunocompetent hosts is due to the indiscriminate usage of broad spectrum antibiotics, steroids, and immunosuppressive drugs. diagnosing invasive fungal sinusitis should not...
