A new antibacterial triterpenoid saponin, 3beta-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-30-norolean-12,19-diene-28-oic acid 28-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl]-ester (1); has been isolated from the stems of Lactuca scariola. Its structure was determined by chemical degradations and
BACKGROUND
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the major cause for urinary tract infections (UTI). Due to emerging antimicrobial resistances treatment of UTI is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, alternative treatment strategies are required. We sought to investigate the molecular mechanisms
Lactuca indica (Compositae) is an edible wild vegetable, used as a folk medicine in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and other medications in Asia. This is the first scientific evaluation of the chemopreventive therapeutic properties of L. indica using five antioxidation assay systems. An extract
The chemical investigation of Mulgedium tataricum afforded six new compounds which were identified as lanost-9(11),23 Z(24)-diene-3beta,25-diol (1), lanost-9(11),25-diene-3beta,24beta-diol (2), ursane-20-ene-3beta,22alpha-diol (3), 4 E,10
Lactuca indica L. (Compositae family) is used as a folk medicine in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and other medications in Asia. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the antiproliferative effect of ethanol extracts of Lactuca indica L. (EEL) on human leukemic HL-60 cell
Staphylococcus aureus is a common human bacterial pathogen that causes skin and soft tissue infections. Methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA) are increasingly drug-resistant, and thus there is great need for new therapeutics to treat Staph. aureus infections. Attention has focused on potential
TiO2-ZnO heterogeneous catalytic system provides a good replacement of a homogeneous catalytic reaction due to its easier recovery. In this study, biodiesel was produced from Ulva lactuca seaweeds using TiO2-ZnO nanocomposite catalysts with particle size of ~12 nm. The size
Seaweeds are considered to be one of the richest bio-reserves, comprising of numerous bioactive compounds with versatile properties and multiple activities. The present study examined the antibacterial activity of two types of seaweeds, Ulva lactuca (green) and Stoechospermum marginatum (brown)
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the fourth most consumed oleaginous plant in the world, producing seeds with high contents of lipids, proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates. Biological activities of different extracts of this species have already been evaluated by many researchers, including
This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity and shelf-life extension effect of iceberg lettuce packed in BN/PE film. The BN/PE film has a strong microbial suppression effect on pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and S. typhimurium. The number
The use of pharmaceuticals in the food production industry as prophylatic and therapeutic agents is necessary to promote animal health, but may entail significant consequences to natural ecosystems, especially in the cases of overdosing and use of banned pharmaceuticals. The vast effects that
Antibiotic use is a well-described practice to promote animal health whether for prevention or treatment. Nonetheless, it can also cause a number of potentially harmful effects that dictate the need to implement regulation to assure a reduction of hazards to the consumers and the environment.
Macroalgae are potentially excellent sources of highly bioactive secondary metabolites that are useful for the development of new functional ingredients. This study was conducted to determine whether methanolic extracts from Caulerpa sertularioides and Ulva lactuca macroalgae might be possible
We examined the effect of ozonated water treatment on microbial control and quality of cut iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Fresh-cut lettuce was washed in ozonated water (3, 5, and 10 ppm) for 5 min at ambient temperature. The native bacterial population on the lettuce declined in response to a
The bioactivity of semiconductor nanocomplexes has been poorly studied in the field of pesticide science. In this research, the synthesis of zinc nanoparticles was accomplished through new effortless green chemistry process, using the Ulva lactuca seaweed extract as a reducing and capping agent. The
