alnus pendula/항진균제

BACKGROUND In the setting of HIV and organ transplantation, opportunistic fungal infections have become a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Thus antifungal therapy is playing a greater role in health care. Traditional plants are a valuable source of novel antifungals. OBJECTIVE To assess in

Streams draining agricultural basins are subjected to the input of fungicides which can affect aquatic microbial communities. We analyzed the effect of the fungicide tebuconazole (TBZ) on Alnus glutinosa and Populus nigra litter breakdown by aquatic microorganisms. For six weeks, fungal and

Waterborne exposure towards fungicides is known to trigger negative effects in aquatic leaf-associated microbial decomposers and leaf-shredding macroinvertebrates. We expected similar effects when these organisms use leaf material from terrestrial plants that were treated with systemic fungicides as

The present study investigates the sensitivity of laccase activity to the fungicide tebuconazole (TBZ) in order to seek for new functional toxicity descriptors in aquatic microbial communities associated to decomposing litter. With this aim, we analyzed the sensitivity of laccase from the different

One hundred methanolic plant extracts were screened for antifungal activity against 9 fungal species. Eighty-one were found to have some antifungal activity and 30 extracts showed activity against 4 or more of the fungi assayed. The extracts with the greatest fungal inhibition were prepared from

The increasing prevalence and severity of atopic dermatitis during recent decades has prompted the development of safe and more highly effective drugs. Although topical corticosteroids have been used for more than 50 years as first line therapy for atopic dermatitis, their potential side effects

Suppression of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) growth and activation have been proposed as therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of liver fibrosis. In the course of screening antifibrotic activity of natural products, the methanolic extract of Alnus firma barks (Betulaceae) showed

Medicinal plants are recognized from ancient times as a source of diverse therapeutic agents and many of them are used as dietary supplements. Comprehensive approaches are needed that would identify bioactive components with evident activity against specific indications and provide a better link

Total methanolic extract of Alnus japonica fruits exhibited significant anti-adipogenic activities in 3T3-L1 cells. A new cyclic diarylheptanoid (1) along with ten known compounds (2-11) were isolated by activity-guided fractionation. Compound 1, determined to be 4-hydroxy-alnus-3,5-dione, showed

To investigate the relationship of the major allergens of birch (Bet v I), alder (Aln g I), hazel (Cor a I), and hornbeam (Car b I) at the nucleic acid level, a cDNA clone coding for the complete Bet v I protein was used for Northern and Southern blot experiments. RNAs were isolated from pollen of

Obesity is an epidemic in most developed countries and novel therapeutic approaches are needed. In the course of a screening project of medicinal plants used by the Eastern James Bay Cree of Canada and having potential for the treatment of diabetes, we have identified several products that inhibit

Alnus nitida is used for multiple disorders in norther areas of Pakistan. In this study we have evaluated methanol extract of leaf (ANL) and stem bark (ANB) of A. nitida against two lung cancer cell lines; A-549 and H460 (Human non-small lung cancer cell lines) during in vitro assays for growth

Alnus japonica (Betulaceae) is a broad-leaved tree easily found in damp regions within the mountains of Korea and Japan. Four triterpenoids (1-4) from the fruits of A. japonica, including the newly isolated 3β-hydroxy-lanost-9(11),23(24)-dien-25,26-diol (3), inhibited the lipopolysaccharide

Diarylheptanoids, a group of plant secondary metabolites are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic agents. The aim of study was to ascertain the anti-inflammatory profile of diarylheptanoids from Alnus nepalensis against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophages and

OBJECTIVE Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Experimental animal models have been an indispensable tool for studying its pathological mechanisms and for in vivo testing of novel therapeutic approaches. AD-like lesions can
