Agricultural land use and distribution of cultivated crops expressed in cropping pattern (CP) constitute the base for increasing produtivity. An in-depth study was conducted on existing CPs Bangladesh each every upazila (sub-districts) using semi structured questionnaire data validation by stakeholder consultation workshop 64 districts. Three hundred sixteen were identified throughout excluding very minor ones. Topmost five only rice containing CPs, which covered 51% net cropped area. The...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a complex and not-fully-understood etiology. Recently, the serotonin receptor 5-HT6 emerged as promising target for AD treatment; thus, here new series of 5-HT6R ligands with 1,3,5-triazine core selenoether linkers was explored. Among them, 2-naphthyl derivatives exhibited strong affinity selectivity over 5-HT1AR (13–15), 5-HT7R (14 15), 5-HT2AR (13). Compound 15 displayed high other central nervous system receptors low risk cardio-, hepato-, nephrotoxicity no...
Multidrug resistance of cancer cells to cytotoxic drugs still remains a major obstacle the success chemotherapy in treatment. The development new drug candidates which may serve as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump inhibitors is promising strategy. Selenium analogues natural products, such flavonoids, offer an interesting motif from perspective design. Herein, we report biological evaluation novel hybrid compounds, bearing both flavone core (compounds 1–3) or bioisosteric analogue 4–6) and...
Bioconversion of organic waste requires the development and application rather simple, yet robust technologies capable transferring biomass into energy sustainable materials for future. Food plays a significant role in this process as its valorisation reduces at same time avoids additional exploitation primary resources. Nonetheless, to literally become “litterate”. extensive research such large-scale methods is required. Here, we highlight some promising avenues which fulfill these “waste...
Plant extracts serve as reducing and coating agents are, therefore, commonly employed for the generation of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs). extract mediated synthesis Ag NPs is a green, environmentally friendly cost-effective technique which offers new potential alternative to chemically synthesized NPs, decreasing utilization hazardous toxic chemicals protecting environment. Origanum vulgare L. were evaluated total flavonoid phenol content. The free radical scavenging activity was...
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) represent one of the most widely employed metal-based engineered nanomaterials with a broad range applications in different areas science. Plant extracts (PEs) serve as green reducing and coating agents can be exploited for generation Ag NPs. In this study, phytochemical composition ethanolic extract black currant (Ribes nigrum) leaves was determined. The main components include quercetin rutinoside, hexoside, glucuronide, malonylglucoside quercitrin....
Trigonella hamosa (Genus: Trigonella; Family: Fabaceae), also known as branched Fenugreek, is a medicinally important plant traditionally employed for the treatment of common ailments. This study aimed at evaluation chemical composition and biological profile T. hamosa. The hydro-methanolic extract (METH) was prepared through maceration, subjected to solvent–solvent fractionation obtain n-hexane fraction (HFTH), chloroform (CFTH) n-butanol (BFTH). Chemical profiling carried out preliminary...
The last decade has witnessed a renewed interest in antimicrobial agents. Plants have received particular attention and frequently rely on the spontaneous enzymatic conversion of an inactive precursor to active agent. Such two-component substrate/enzyme defence systems can be reconstituted ex vivo. Here, alliin/alliinase system from garlic seems rather effective against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whilst glucosinolate/myrosinase mustard appears more certain bacteria. Studies with myrosinase...
In view of the pressing need to identify new antibacterial agents able combat multidrug-resistant bacteria, we investigated a series fused selenazolinium derivatives (1-8) regarding their in vitro antimicrobial activities against 25 ESKAPE-pathogen strains. Ebselen was used as reference compound. Most selenocompounds demonstrated an excellent activity all S. aureus strains, with comparable or even exceeding one ebselen. contrast ebselen, some (1, 3, and 7) displayed significant actions...
Untreated wastewater used for irrigating crops is the major source of toxic heavy metals and other pollutants in soils. These affect plant growth deteriorate quality edible parts growing plants. Phytohormone (IAA) exopolysaccharides (EPS) producing growth-promoting rhizobacteria can reduce toxicity by stabilizing them soil. The present experiment was conducted to evaluate IAA EPS-producing rhizobacterial strains improving growth, physiology, antioxidant activity Brassica juncea (L.) under...
Brewer's spent grains (BSG) are a by-product of the beer-brewing industry, often employed as animal feeding stuffs. With BSG being rich not only in proteins, lipids, and dietary fiber but also certain phytochemicals, it constitutes potentially valuable food source that could be functional food, e.g. against chronic inflammatory diseases. Several types bread were prepared with various amounts flour replacement (0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 100%), either employing wet or dried after pressing. Total...
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligent and information technology has led to a critical need for extremely low power consumption excellent efficiency. capacity neuromorphic computing handle large amounts data with garnered lot interest during the last few decades. For applications, 2D layered semiconductor materials have shown pivotal role due their distinctive properties. This comprehensive review provides an extensive study recent advancements in materials‐based devices especially...
Redox-modulating compounds derived from natural sources, such as redox active secondary metabolites, are currently of considerable interest in the field chemoprevention, drug and phytoprotectant development. Unfortunately, exact occasionally even selective activity products, underlying (bio-)chemical causes thereof, often only poorly understood. A combination nematode- yeast-based assays provides a powerful platform to investigate possible biological new compound also explore “redox link”...
Selenocyanates demonstrate pronounced activity against bacteria of the ESKAPE family, yeast and nematodes with limited cytotoxicity human cells.
Allicin (diallylthiosulfinate) is the principal organosulfur compound present in freshly damaged garlic tissue which exhibits a wide range of biological actions including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer properties. The antifungal activities allicin were investigated against plant pathogenic fungi agriculture importance. Furthermore, yeast genome haploinsufficiency screening was also employed to decipher mode action allicin. Wildtype 1152 mutant strains (each deprived one...
