The design of multifunctional hydrogels based on bioactive hyaluronic acid (HA) and antibacterial cationic polymer ɛ-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is a promising tool in tissue engineering applications. In the current study, we have designed ɛ-polylysine composite hydrogel systems with cell attractive properties. Two distinct crosslinking approaches were used: physical electrostatic attractions chemical charged functional groups (-NH2 -COOH). impact strategy fabricated molecular structure, swelling...
Mosses have been neglected as a study subject for long time. Recent research shows that mosses contain remarkable and unique substances with high biological activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, was to analyze the composition screen their antimicrobial anticancer total concentration polyphenols carbohydrates, amount dry residue radical scavenging activity were determined preliminary evaluation chemical moss extracts. In order identify present in mosses, two types extrahents...
For sustainable sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berry production, the task at hand is to find an application for large amount of biomass waste arising harvesting. Sea (SBT) vegetation currently poorly studied. The purpose this research was assess composition and potential SBT twigs as a source valuable biologically active substances. Water 50% EtOH extracts three Latvian cultivars with high yield quality, popular cultivation in many countries (H. rhamnoides ‘Maria Bruvele’, ‘Tatiana’,...
It has now been proven that many pathogens cause infections and inflammation gradually mutate become resistant to antibiotics. Chemically synthesized drugs treating most often only affect symptoms, but side effects could lead the failure of human organs' functionality. On other hand, plant-derived natural compounds have a long-term healing effect. was shown sea buckthorn (SBT) twigs are rich source biologically active compounds, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (PACs). This study aimed...
Bacterial infections are a prevalent complication after primary viral respiratory and associated with high morbidity mortality. Antibiotics widely used against bacterial pathogens; however, the rise in antibiotic-resistant strains urges us to search for new antimicrobial compounds, including ones that act synergistically antibiotics. In this study, minimal inhibitory (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) concentrations of polyphenol-rich complex green propolis, Tabebuia avellanedae bark, Olea europaea...
Fungi colonizing the surface and endosphere of two widespread Poaceae weed species, Avena fatua Echinochloa crus-galli, were isolated to compare taxonomic composition between plant location, year seed collection. The seed-degrading potential Fusarium from seeds was tested by inoculating E. crus-galli with spore suspension. Molecular identification epiphytic endophytic fungal genera performed sequencing ITS region rDNA. Endophytes comprised significantly lower richness compared epiphytes. A...
The reduction of tissue cytotoxicity and the improvement cell viability are utmost significance, particularly in realm green chemistry. Despite substantial progress, threat local infections remains a concern. Therefore, hydrogel systems that provide mechanical support harmonious balance between antimicrobial efficacy greatly needed. Our study explores preparation physically crosslinked, injectable, hydrogels using biocompatible hyaluronic acid (HA) ε-polylysine (ε-PL) different weight ratios...
To address the need to reduce consumption and pollution in industrial sector, composite materials were created using a new type of raw materials-organic lake sediments (sapropel) as binder; sphagnum moss, flax fiber, vermiculite filler. The main application these is for sound absorption moisture buffering, but since they contain bio-based binders fillers, also work carbon storage. Within framework this work, total 100 samples created. Fungicides-a biocide quaternary ammonium compound its...
The antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts 11 Bryophyta species 9 Marchantiophyta collected in Latvia was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli Bacillus cereus. extract Lophocolea heterophylla inhibited the growth B. cereus, but none E. coli. 70% bryophyte demonstrated certain relation to S. aureus. In general, 73% 39% exhibited antibacterial highest degree aureus shown by Dicranum scoparium Atrichum undulatum Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus. bactericidal action...
Entrapment in alginate gel is a widely used approach for immobilization of microorganisms to improve their viability.A natural bacterial association consisting seven strains isolated from acid tar-contaminated soil was gel.The aim this study identify conditions entrapment and determine its prolonged storage.The successfully immobilized 1.5% beads that were 2 mm diameter.All tested treatments, with or without 5% clay, 10% glycerol, incubation prepared nutrient medium 0.2 M solution CaCl ,...
Enterobacter cancerogenus is widely distributed in nature and generally recovered from environmental or vegetal sources. In some cases, it has also been associated with human infections. this study, the complete genomic sequence of virulent E. bacteriophage Enc34 was determined. The genome 60,364 bp length contains 80 open reading frames. To our knowledge, first report a infecting cancerogenus.
We report a photo-redox catalyzed radical C–H monofluoromethylation of heterocycles, thus demonstrating this process and the importance monofluoromethyl unit in medicinal drug discovery purposes.
