This study aimed to search for compounds with potential inhibitory activities towards DENV-2 replication. In vitro inhibitory activities of plant extracts towards DENV-2 replication were studied and the proteomics profile of cells infected with dengue virus, followed by treatment with plant extracts, were mapped out. Methanol crude and fractionated extracts of Quercus lusitanica were tested. Th...

The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of 5 organic solvent extracts (petroleum ether, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol) of wheat grains, 3, 5 and 7 days old wheat seedlings. To determine the antioxidant activity of five extracts of four different samples, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radica...

There is increasing interest in natural food colorants like carotenoids and anthocyanins with functional properties. Red sorghum bran is known as a rich source for anthocyanins. The anthocyanin contents extracted from red sorghum bran were evaluated by biochemical analysis. Among the three solvent system used, the acidified methanol extract showed a highest anthocyanin content (4.7 mg/g of sorg...

Department of Botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (A.P) 530003, India. ABSTRACT The present investigation is aimed to carryout in vitro antibacterial activities of the methanol and aqueous extracts of Cleome viscosa against seven bacterial species. To evaluate antibacterial activity, the agar well diffusion assay was performed. Methanol extract was showed more antibacterial activity than a...

results the results of the study, using the two methods, showed that all methanol extracts of leaves and fruits of the six species possessed antioxidant activity. the antioxidant activity of the samples was compared with the antioxidant activities of butylatedhydroxytoluene (bht), as a synthetic antioxidant and α-tocopherol as a natural antioxidant. methanol extractions of pinus spp. leaves and...

BACKGROUND: Total phenolics content, antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of the methanol extracts from leaf parts of 13 Korean traditional salad plants were investigated in order to determine their properties. RESULTS: The highest phenolics content (mg ferulic acid equivalents kg−1 dry weight (d.w.), omit one) was found in methanol extracts from Polygonum aviculare, at 293.7 ± 6.0, followed b...

Antimicrobial activity of seed extracts of Persia amerciana against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium ulcerans, Salmonella typhi, Neisseria gonorrhoea and Candida albicans was carried out using the disc diffusion technique. The methanol, ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts demonstr...

in this study, methanol and ether extracts of five endemic asperula species (rubiaceae) from turkey (a. antalyensis, a. brevifolia, a. pseudochlorantha, a. purpurea subsp. apiculata and a. serotina), used in the traditional system of medicine, were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar well diffusion method and the broth dilution method. the most active species were asperula brevifolia ...

aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. in this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against bacillus subtilis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. bioactive compounds of b...

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...
