This study investigated the effects of cadmium (Cd) and aluminium (Al) on the accumulation of phenolics, flavonoids and the bioactive compound hypoxoside in Hypoxis hemerocallidea. In addition, antioxidant scavenging and antibacterial activity were assessed to evaluate if Cd and Al stress affect the

Crude water and ethanolic extracts of five herbal remedies reported in the literature for traditional treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and/or prostatitis were investigated for their effect on hydroxyl scavenging activity, antibacterial activity and their ability to inhibit

Hypoxis rooperi corm extract ('African potato') is known for its traditional and ethnomedical uses in the treatment of a large variety of diseases. Its main bioactive compound hypoxoside (HYP) and its aglycone derivative rooperol (RO) were isolated and the interaction of these compounds with several

Background: African Potato (hypoxis hemerocallidea), is used for enhancing immune system in Southern Africa. It is among the plants of intense commercial and scientific interest; hence, the aim of this study was to describe its chemistry

Lectin-like proteins from seven medicinal plant species of South Africa possessing well-documented antibacterial effects were examined for the interaction with two Gram-positive bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Agglutinins elicited selective aggregation reactions with

BACKGROUND Hypoxis species are used extensively in traditional medicine in southern Africa for several ailments including tuberculosis, chest infections, and nervous and urinary disorders. Several other claims have been made for extracts emanating from Hypoxis species and have led to the production

Unlike conventional physical and chemical methods, the biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) is considered a green and non-toxic approach to produce biocompatible GNPs that can be utilized in various biomedical applications. This can be achieved by using plant-derived phytochemicals to
