Olive oil mill wastewaters (OMWs) show significant polluting properties due to their content of organic substances, and because high toxicity toward several biological systems. Wastewaters' has been attributed phenolic constituents. A chemical study from a Ligurian characterized products such as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (catechol), derivatives benzoic acid, phenylacetic phenylethanol, cinnamic acid. The OMWs were fractioned by ultrafiltration reverse osmosis techniques tested for on aquatic...
It is known that plant-based ethnomedicine represented the foundation of modern pharmacology and many pharmaceuticals are derived from compounds occurring in plant extracts. This track still stimulates a worldwide investigational activity aimed at identifying novel bioactive products origin. However, discovery endophytic fungi able to produce plant-derived drugs has disclosed new horizons for their availability production on large scale by pharmaceutical industry. In fact, following path...
Many edible plant metabolites are known to be useful as cellular antioxidants. In the search for antioxidative chemicals from native fruits of Campania region Italy, Prunus cerasus L., an acidic cherry widely used culinary purposes, has been studied. Fruit crude extracts (MeOH, EtOAc, and hexane) were submitted screening using specific assay media characterized presence highly reactive radical species (DPPH•, ABTS•+, O2•−, NO) or lipoperoxidation markers. The reducing power samples was also...
The kiwi fruit is the edible berry of a cultivar group woody vine several Actinidia species. most common commercially available, green-fleshed 'Hayward', which belongs to deliciosa An antioxidative screening components (peel and pulp) crude extracts was carried out using specific assay media characterized for presence highly reactive species such as 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH(•)), H(2)O(2), O(2)(•-). Mo(VI) reducing power samples also determined. phenol flavonoid contents...
Forty-three secondary metabolites were isolated and characterized from cv. Annurca apple fruit, an variety cultivated in the south of Italy. This cultivar undergoes a typical reddening treatment after collection. All compounds on basis their spectroscopic data. The tested for radical-scavenging antioxidant activities by measuring capacity to scavenge DPPH• (2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical), H2O2, NO (nitric oxide) inhibit formation methyl linoleate conjugated diene hydroperoxides or...
One of the most applied strategies in tissue engineering consists development 3D porous scaffolds with similar composition to specific tissue. In fact, microstructure influences final structure growing this study, multi-layered PCL were produced modified Fab@home FDM printer order analyze influence extrusion technology (filament or powder head) and process parameters on deposited material. particular, dimensions uniformity both filament grid analyzed understand so as optimize production technology.
In a search for new potential multitarget anti-HIV compounds from natural products, we have identified in Hypericum scruglii, an endemic and exclusive species of Sardinia (Italy), potent plant lead. The phytochemical study the hydroalcoholic extract obtained its leaves led to isolation most abundant secondary metabolites, belonging different chemical classes. particular, three phloroglucinols derivatives were identified, confirming their significance as chemotaxonomic markers genus. Among...
Five lignans, five neolignans, two sesquilignans, and a dilignan were identified from phytotoxic extract of Brassica fruticulosa L. Compounds 8, 9, 12, 13 have been isolated for the first time. Structures determined on basis their spectroscopic features. Their effects germination growth dicotyledons, Lactuca sativa (lettuce) Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), monocotyledon, Allium cepa (onion), as standard target species studied. Keywords: fruticolosa; lignans; neolignans; sesquilignans;...
