Antifungal properties of methanol extract and its active compounds from Brickellia rosmarinifolia Vent

An inclusion complex of eugenol into β-cyclodextrin: Preparation, and physicochemical and antifungal characterization

“…In the provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Guangxi in south China, litchi fruit decay is caused largely by the litchi downy blight, leading to significant postharvest loss (Jiang et al, 2006). As a consequence, much research has focused on the control of P. litchii (Cao, Wei, Xu, & Tang, 2010;Tang et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2013). Carboxylic acid amide (CAA) fungicides, such as dimethomorph and flumorph, have been used commercially to control the litchi downy blight for more than 10 years in China.…”

Antibacterial activity of leaves extracts of Trifolium alexandrinum Linn. against pathogenic bacteria causing tropical diseases

“…Plants are important sources of potentially useful substances for the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. Various phytochemical compounds which are naturally present in plants as secondary metabolites have been implicated in the conferment of antibacterial activities [20,21] . The presence of some of such secondary metabolites in a significant amount in the investigated part of T. alexandrinum may have conferred the strong antibacterial activity on the leaves extracts.…”

Terpenoids from Ligularia kangtingensis

“…Identification of the 12 compounds isolated [ Figure 1 ] was based on comparison of 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR data with those reported in literature, and their structures were elucidated as lupeol (1),[ 6 ] ligudentatin A (2),[ 7 ] liguhodgsonal (3),[ 8 ] oplopanone (4),[ 9 ] 1β, 6α-dihydroxy-4β (15)-epoxyeudesmane (5),[ 10 ] oleanolic acid (6),[ 11 ] ursolic acid (7),[ 11 ] pomolic acid (8),[ 11 ] taraxerol (9),[ 12 ] 8β-ethoxyeremophil-3, 7 (11)-diene-8α, 12 (6α, 15)-diolide (10),[ 13 ] (3 R , 4 R , 6 S )-3, 6-dihydroxy-1-menthene (11),[ 14 ] 5- p -methene-1, 2-diol (12).
