previous studies had shown that sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver sulphadiazine (agsd) stimulated the production of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in certain strains (responder strains) of staphylococcus aureus and that protease production was also affected. no changes were detected in other strains (non-responders). extracellular proteins from eleven responder and non-responder strains gro...

Background: German chamomile (Matricaria recotita) as a medicinal plant has several therapeutic effects. Since the extract of this plant contains a high amount of α-bisabolol (Terpenoid) its antibacterial properties can be considered. Staphylococcus aureus as a pathogenic bacterium is important in clinical situations and food hygiene. So, investigation of effects of antibacterial compounds agai...

objective(s): bidens species are used for their antidiabetic properties traditionally in many countries. aim of this study is to evaluate hypoglycaemic and antidiabetic activity of bidens tripartita extract and to identify its active compounds through bioactivity guided isolation technique. materials and methods: hypoglycaemic effects of b. tripartita extract and its sub-extracts were investiga...

A series of ZnPorp and ZnPc conjugates were synthesized compared by their inhibitory effects on A?42 fibrillization. We show that designed with a good hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance are deemed as better inhibitors.

Objective: Tamarindus indica Linn.(T.indica) is a well-known plant used in traditional medicine. The plant is popular for its antidiabetic activity. However, effect so f its aqueous fruit pulp extract on carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes and its glucose uptake potential were not explored. Materials and Methods: The antidiabetic activity w...
