Parasitic helminths are a major global health threat, infecting nearly one-fifth of the human population and causing significant losses in livestock crops. Resistance to few anthelmintic drugs is increasing. Here, we report set avocado fatty alcohols/acetates (AFAs) that exhibit nematocidal activity against four veterinary parasitic nematode species: Brugia pahangi, Teladorsagia circumcincta Heligmosomoides polygyrus, as well multidrug resistant strain (UGA) Haemonchus contortus. AFA shows...
Abstract Spent coffee grounds (SCGs), deriving from the high global consumption, can have an appreciable environmental impact. One of eco-friendly reuses SCGs is their application as a natural fertilizer. This study adopted soilless cultivation approach to growing Cucumis sativus seedlings using, rooting media, different solutions obtained by infusing fresh powder or mocha and pods for 7 30 days. Seedlings’ germination, eco-physiological biochemical traits were evaluated potential...
Introduction: The increase in bacterial strains resistant to conventional antibiotics is an alarming problem for human health and could lead pandemics the future. Among pathogens responsible a large variety of severe infections there Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Therefore, urgent need new molecules with antimicrobial activity or that can act as adjuvants already use. In this scenario, peptides (AMPs) hold great promise. Recently, we characterized frog-skin AMP derived from esculentin-1a, namely...
Saffron is a spice obtained from the drying process of stigmas flower Crocus sativus Linnaeus. It well known that organoleptic characteristics this are closely linked to production area and harvesting year. The present work aims evaluate whether saffron samples produced in different years origins sensibly crocin profiles. To achieve goal, 120 were harvested between 2016 2020 four Italian areas. crocins analysed, identified, quantified by high-performance liquid...
Limited or absent activity of the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), due to mutation in related gene on X chromosome, leads development a rare hereditary and genetic disease known as Fabry (FD). This pathology involves progressive accumulation various organs substrates e.g., globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) its deacylated form, globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3), suggesting these molecules biomarkers disease. The present paper describes an analytical strategy for identification quantification...
