Chemical examination of the leaves of Styrax ferrugineus yielded 5-[3''-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)propyl]-7-methoxy-2-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl) benzofuran, along with the known nor-lignans 5-(3''-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl) benzofuran,
This study described a simple and green approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing benzoin gum water extract as a reducing and capping agent and their applications. The AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction pattern, field
In this study, Siğla (Liquidambar orientalis Mill.) storax (styrax) was investigated for antibacterial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B. brevis, B. cereus, B. megaterium, B. subtilis, Corynebacterium xerosis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecalis,
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the storax balsam, which is a kind of sweet gum obtained from the Liquidambar orientalis Mill trees, on cell viability, cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in human lymphocyte in vitro. We studied the genotoxic effects of the extract of storax balsam
In this study, the effects of Benzoinum and Styrax on Escherichia coli (E. coli) growth were investigated by microcalorimetry. Using a TAM Air Isothermal Calorimeter, ampoule method, the power-time curves of E. coli growth at 37°C affected by Benzoinum and Styrax were measured. By analysing some
Kelp grouper, Epinephelus bruneus, fed for 30 days with 0% (control), 0.1%, 1.0%, and 2.0% of Styrax japonica supplementation diets, led to reductions in mortality after being challenged with a bacterium (Vibrio harveyi) and a ciliate protozoan (Uronema marinum). The enriched diets significantly
