passiflora setacea/抗真菌藥

The aim of this study was to determine whether 2S albumins from Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa and Capsicum annuum seeds inhibit growth, induce plasma membrane permeabilization and induce endogenous production of nitric oxide in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeasts. The 2S albumin from P.

An actual worldwide problem consists of an expressive increase of economic losses and health problems caused by fungi. In order to solve this problem, several studies have been concentrating on the screening of novel plant defence peptides with antifungal activities. These peptides are commonly

An increased yield of the crude material with antibacterial and antifungal activity produced by Passiflora species was obtained by aerated bathing of cut rinds of banana passion fruit in water in rotating cylindrical bottles. The crude material was separated into several fractions by thin-layer

The intent was to isolate an antifungal protein from seeds of the passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) and to compare its characteristics with other antifungal proteins and bovine beta-lactoglobulin in view of its N-terminal amino acid sequence similarity to beta-lactoglobulin. The isolation procedure

The antimicrobial activity of Passiflora mollissima is largely due to its aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, terpenes, alkaloids, ketones, esters, alcohols, and lactones. The objective of this research was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the compounds in

Different types of antimicrobial proteins were purified from plant seeds, including chitinases, β-1,3-glucanases, defensins, thionins, lipid transfer proteins and 2S albumins. It has become clear that these groups of proteins play an important role in the protection of plants from microbial

Chrysin is a promising phytochemical that is categorized under the class of flavonoids based on its chemical structure. Naturally, it is widely present in propolis, honey, passion fruit, and even in mushrooms and other plant sources, whereas its synthetic counterparts are also being employed for

This article has been retracted at the request of the Publisher. The Publisher regrets that this article was an accidental publication of an article that has already been published in Plant Science, 171 (4), page 515-522, doi:10.1016/j.plantsci.2006.06.001. The duplicate article has therefore been

Fungal molds and yeasts, an actinomycete, and gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were tested qualitatively with an antimicrobial substance, here called "Passicol," obtained from Passiflora species. A wide range of organisms were susceptible to Passicol. Some bacteria and a yeast were tested

OBJECTIVE The paper describes the flavonoid composition of the aerial parts (young leaves, YL; adult leaves, AL; stems, ST) of Passiflora loefgrenii Vitta, a rare species native to Brazil, where it is traditionally used as food. Antioxidant potential has also been evaluated. To the best of our

The use of antibiotics in agriculture is limited when compared to their applications in human and veterinary medicine. On the other hand, the use of antimicrobials in agriculture contributes to the drug resistance of human pathogens and has stimulated the search for new antibiotics from natural

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata L.) is used in phytotherapy as a mild sedative and anxiolytic agent. In the literature it is clear this plant shows considerable qualitative and quantitative variability with respect to its content of C-glycosyl flavones, some of which are used as marker compounds

A field experiment was conducted in two successive years at Goiânia, GO, Brazil, to study the effect of seed treatment with pyroquilon fungicide (4.0 g a.i. per kg of seed) on rice blast in cultivars that differed in their level of resistance. Leaf and panicle blast progress was monitored in the

Diabetes has emerged as one of the largest global epidemics; it is estimated that by 2035, there will be 592 million diabetic people in the world. Brazilian biodiversity and the knowledge of traditional peoples have contributed to the treatment of several diseases, including diabetes. Apis mellifera

Stress is an increasing problem that can result in various psychiatric and somatoform symptoms. Among others, benzodiazepines and valerian preparations are used to treat stress symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the prescription of a fixed herbal extract combination of
