Effects of methanol extracts of Xanthium strumarium on different cancer cell lines and on the mortality rates of Aedes caspius, Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) were investigated. Among the cell lines tested, the Jurkat cell line was the most...
Series of Schiff bases of valproic acid hydrazide, N-valproylglycine hydrazide and N-valproyl-4-aminobenzoyl hydrazide derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR (1H- and 13C-NMR) and elemental analysis. The prepared compounds were...
Background: Valproic acid (VPA) is a potent anticancer and antiangiogenic agent. However, design and synthesis of chemical derivatives with improved antiangiogenic and anticancer activities are still necessary. In this study a library of novel...
Pulicaria genus belongs to the family Compositae. Some species of this genus have been used in traditional Arab medicine as antispasmodic agent. In this study the Pulicaria glutinosa, which is a wild growing shrub in Saudi Arabia have been explored...
Endophytes associated with Calotropis procera and Phoenix dactylifera were screened for their capacity to produce bioactive metabolites against a panel of cancer cell lines and human pathogens. In the present study, the antiproliferative activity of...
Purpose: Cancer is a major health problem worldwide. There is a continuous need to search for safer and more effective alternatives to overcome the side effects and resistance of the chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore, in this study we investigated...
The effects of Cadmium (Cd) exposure and the treatment with Zinc (Zn) on immune functions of splenocytes and cultured lymphocytes of rats were studied. The exposure of rats to Cd was at a dose of 2.2 mg/kg CdCl2, injected subcutaneously four times...
Eight novel N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-propylpentane hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives 4a–h were synthesized and fully characterized by IR, NMR (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The cyto-toxicity and in vitro anti...
Endophytic microorganisms are fungi or bacteria which live inside plant tissues or organs, without causing them any harmful symptoms. Indeed, since many are also able to produce substances of biotechnological interest, they may protect the plant...
