Modulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression using drugs has been proposed to control immunity. Phytochemical investigations on Garcinia species have allowed the isolation bioactive compounds such as polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs). PPAPs guttiferone J (1), display anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities while garcinol (4) is a histone acetyltransferases (HAT) p300 inhibitor. This study reports isolation, identification biological...
The insecticidal activities of extracts from 22 Malaysian medicinal plant 8 botanical families were tested against rice weevil: Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and lesser grain borer: Rhyzopertha dominica (F.). obtained using hexane, methanol, dichloromethane to extract potential biopesticides dried leaves. toxicity levels examined periodically based on antifeedant activity contact assays treated assay. Hexane Alpinia conchigera, scabra, Curcuma mangga, purpurascens, Goniothalamus tapisoides, Piper...
