Studies on Utilization of Agar

Some chemical and physical properties of agarose (AG) and agaropectin (AP) isolated from agar of various red seaweeds were studied. The two components were isolated by acrinol. Methanol containing sodium iodide was superior to the mixed solvent of ethanol and acetone (1:1) as solvent for removing acrinol. Greater value of the ratio of intrinsic viscosity of both AG and AP in the solution of 0.1 m sodium chloride against that in the mixed solution of 4 m urea and 0.001 m sodium thiocyanate made water holding capacity greater except sample whose molecular weight is very small. Water holding capacity of AG was decreased with increasing ratio of d-galactose plus 6-O-methyl-d-galactose against 3,6-anhydro-l-galactose, and with lower liquefying temperature of gel. In the case of AP, however, these relations were not always distinct.     

Antibacterial activity from Penicillium corylophilum Dierckx

A strain of Penicillium corylophilum isolated from Brazilian soil sample was submitted to different culture conditions to investigate the production of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity. The largest number of conidia was obtained after 5 days of incubation in oat medium and the highest level of antimicrobial activity was produced when the fungus culture was developed in the Czapek medium. The activity against Staphylococcus aureus was found only in the chloroform extract from Czapek culture broth, which also showed activity against Micrococcus luteus. Fumiquinozoline F was isolated from the active chloroform extract by using chromatographic methods. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for M. luteus and S. aureus were 99 μg/mL and 137 μg/mL, respectively.     

Analysis of the chemical composition of root essential oil from Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus) and its application as an ecofriendly insecticide and pharmacological agent

The Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus) is a commonly used plant in Indian traditional medicine of Ayurveda for the preparation of various non-alcoholic beverages. However, limited studies are available on the essential oil of H. indicus roots (HRO); therefore, the study evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activities of H. indicus root essential oil as well as insecticide potential against the common pests of stored food materials (Sitophilus oryzae, Callosobruchus maculatus and Tribolium castaneum). The repellant efficacy of HRO was found to be high against S. oryzae (8.21 ± 0.55 μg/mL). Likewise, the fumigant potential was also observed for HRO against these pests; the higher activities were observed against S. oryzae and C. maculatus (32.46 ± 1.42 and 35.18 ± 1.62 μg/L). Besides, the essential oil was also found to be active as a contact poison, however, against all the three pests, the toxicity was above 100 μg/mm³, being the highest against C. maculatus (122.8 ± 3.57 μg/mm³). To analyze the possible effect of the essential oil on grains, the different grains were allowed to germinate and compared to that of normal; thus, the non-toxic nature of HRO against the stored products is also confirmed. The essential oil shown to have DPPH hydrogen peroxide and ABTS radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging potential, and inhibition of lipoxgenase, alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Overall, the present study concludes that the H. indicus may be a suitable repellant and fumigant agent against different pests of stored products and a possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic agent.

Antimicrobial,anticoagulant, and cytotoxic evaluation of multidrug resistance of new 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives

A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (2a–h, 3a–e, and 4a–e) were systematically designed and synthesized via ultrasound irradiation methods with easy work-up and good yields. Compounds structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. The synthesized compounds were screened for both antimicrobial and anticoagulant activities. Compound 2e (MIC: 0.25?μg/mL) was highly active against Escherichia coli and compound 2c (MIC: 0.5?μg/mL) was also highly active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared with ciprofloxacin. (MIC: 1?μg/mL) The antifungal activity of 2c (MIC: 0.5?μg/mL) against Candida albicans was high relative to that of clotrimazole (MIC: 1?μg/mL). Anticoagulant activity was determined by activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) coagulation assays. Compound 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-N³,N⁵-bis(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide 3d (>1000?s in APTT assays) was highly active in anticoagulant screening compared with the reference of heparin.Cytotoxicity was evaluated using HepG2 (liver), HeLa (cervical), and MCF-7 (breast) cancer cell lines, with high toxicities observed for 2c (GI₅₀?=?0.02?μm) against HeLa cell line and 2e (GI₅₀?=?0.03?μm) equipotant against MCF-7 cell line. Therefore, the compounds 2e, 2c and 3d can serve as lead molecules for the development of new classes of antimicrobial and anticoagulant agent.     

Bioactivity of two major constituents isolated from the essential oil of Artemisia judaica L

The essential oil of Artemisia judaica L., grown on Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, was extracted via hydrodistillation. Chromatographic separation on repeated silica gel columns led to isolate two compounds namely piperitone and trans-ethyl cinnamate. Insecticidal, antifeedant and antifungal properties of the isolated compounds were examined. Both compounds showed pronounced insecticidal and antifeedant activity against the third instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd). trans-Ethyl cinnamate (LD₅₀ = 0.37 μg/larva) was more toxic than piperitone (LD₅₀ = 0.68 μg/larva). The two isolated compounds revealed antifeedant activity in a concentration dependent manner, with complete feeding inhibition at a concentration of 1000 μg/ml. When tested for antifungal activity against four plant pathogenic fungi, the isolated compounds exhibited a moderate to high activity.     

Bioactive metabolites from the endophytic fungus Ampelomyces sp. isolated from the medicinal plant Urospermum picroides

Extracts of cultures grown in liquid or on solid rice media of the fungal endophyte Ampelomyces sp. isolated from the medicinal plant Urospermum picroides exhibited considerable cytotoxic activity when tested in vitro against L5178Y cells. Chromatographic separation yielded 14 natural products that were unequivocally identified based on their ¹H and ¹³C NMR as well as mass spectra and comparison with previously published data. Six compounds (2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11) were natural products. Both fungal extracts differed considerably in their secondary metabolites. The extract obtained from liquid cultures afforded a pyrone (2) and sulfated anthraquinones (7 and 9) along with the known compounds 1, 3, 6 and 8. When grown on solid rice medium the fungus yielded three compounds 4, 5 and 11 in addition to several known metabolites including 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 14. Compounds 4, 8 and 10 showed the strongest cytotoxic activity against L5178Y cells with EC₅₀ values ranging from 0.2–7.3 μg/ml. Furthermore, 8 and 10 displayed antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Enterococcus faecalis at minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 12.5 μg/ml and 12.5–25 μg/ml, respectively. Interestingly, 6 and 8 were also identified as constituents of an extract derived from a healthy plant sample of the host plant U. picroides thereby indicating that the production of bioactive natural products by the endophyte proceeds also under in situ conditions within the host plant.     

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Anoectochilus elatus,and their biomedical applications

Zinc and its derivatives requirement increased to enhance human immunity against the different pandemics, including covid-19. Green synthesis is an emerging field of research. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been prepared from Anoectochilus elatus and characterized using absorption, vibrational and electron microscope analysis. They were carried for antibacterial, inflammatory control tendency, and potential antioxidant activities. The brine shrimp lethal assay tested the biologically derived nanomaterial toxicity and the lethal concentration (LC₅₀) is 599.79 µg/ml. The inhibition against the important disease-causing pathogens was measured against four-gram negative, gram-positive bacteria and two fungus pathogens. The nanomaterial exposed inhibition zone for gram-positive bacteria between 17 mm and 25 mm. The inhibition zone against gram-negative bacteria exists between 19 mm and 24 mm. The anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by inhibition of protein denaturation and protease inhibitory activity using nanomaterial. The antioxidant activity was examined using four assays for the therapeutic activities. The average size range of 60–80 nm nanoparticles has prepared and exposed the good biological activity between 50 µg/ml and 100 µg/ml. The comparative results of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant assay results with standards such as Aspirin and vitamin C exposed that two to three times higher concentrations are required for the fifty percent of inhibitions. The prepared low-cost nanoparticle has exhibited excellent biological activity without any side effects and may enhance immunity.     

Primaquine homodimers as potential antiplasmodial and anticancer agents

Primaquine homodimers, e.g. symmetric PQ-diamides of dicarboxylic acids containing 4 to 8 carbon atoms, were evaluated against Plasmodium berghei hepatic stages and P. falciparum blood stages, as well as against three cancer cell lines. Novel PQ-homodimers exerted much higher activity against hepatic stages, but less pronounced activity against blood stages in comparison to the parent drug. The submicromolar activity of succinic, fumaric and maleic derivatives against P. berghei was determined (IC₅₀ values: 726.2, 198.1 and 358.4 nM, respectively). Our results indicated that the length and type of spacer between two PQ moieties highly modified the antiproliferative activities of PQ-homodimers. The general antiproliferative activity of the adipic and mesaconic derivatives against three cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HCT116, H 460) was observed (GI₅₀ = 1.78–13.7 and 2.36–4.31 µM, respectively), but adipic derivative was less toxic to human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293). High selectivity of fumaric and suberic derivatives against breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 was detected. These two compounds have shown no antiproliferative activity against other tumor cells and HEK 293.
