A total of 13 Pasteurellaceae isolates from healthy freshwater turtles were characterized by genotypic and phenotypic tests. Phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences showed that the isolates investigated formed a monophyletic group. The closest related species based on 16S
Disaccharidases of oral bacteria, especially alpha-glucosidase and beta-fructofuranosidase, are considered to play an important role in the induction of dental caries. Upon the examination of disaccharidases from several strains of saccharolytic oral bacteria, we found all of those bacteria to be
As one of the most investigated flavonoids, apigenin, is considered to be a strong α-glucosidase inhibitor. However, the clinical utility of apigenin is limited due to its low solubility. It was reported that the solubility and biological activity can be improved by introducing sole carboxyalkyl
Fungi are elements of the ontocenosis of the oral cavity and causal factors of inflammatory lesions in its mucous membrane. The objective of the study was to find differences in the activity of hydrolytic enzymes of Candida albicans isolated from patients with diseases of the periodontium and mucous
A series of five new fluorescent deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effect (IC50) on several α- and β-glucosidases. Three of the conjugates showed enhanced activity. The two synthetic conjugates, DNJ-CF31 and DNJ-Me 2, exhibited improved
Betulinic acid (BA), an important pentacyclic triterpene widely distributed in many foods, possesses high antidiabetic activity. In this study, BA was found to exhibit stronger inhibition of α-glucosidase than acarbose with an IC50 value of (1.06 ± 0.02) × 10-5 mol L-1 in a mixed-type manner. BA
Glycemic control which can be efficaciously regulated by inhibiting α-glucosidase activity is an effective therapy for diabetes mellitus. This work is to investigate the kinetics and inhibition mechanism of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid on α-glucosidase. Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid exhibited
Cocrystallization with co-former (CCF) has proved to be a powerful approach to improve the solubility and even bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). However, it is still uncertain whether a cocrystal would exert the pharmacological activity in the form of
Oral colonization with Candida spp. is not synonymous with a systemic active infection. The aim of the study was to evaluate enzymatic activity of Candida strains isolated from the oral cavity in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and to compare it with the activity determined in urine. We
A straight, non-sporulating, Gram-variable bacillus (HKU24(T)) was recovered from the blood culture of a patient with metastatic breast carcinoma. After repeated subculturing in BACTEC Plus Anaerobic/F blood culture broth, HKU24(T) grew on brucella agar as non-hemolytic, pinpoint colonies after 96 h
Intestinal lactase activity (with its associated cellobiase, 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-galactosidase and -beta-glucosidase activities) was used as a specific intestinal marker enzyme to study the release of protein and enzymes of intestinal origin in sheep amniotic fluid during gestation. In
Isolates from a collection of phenotypically melibiose-negative (Mel-) Streptococcus mutans from widely-scattered geographical locations were examined and found to lack the activities of the enzymes alpha-galactosidase and alpha-glucosidase, in addition to being unable to transport melibiose. Cloned
Bidens tripartita L. is a traditional phyto-remedy used in several countries, yet there is still a paucity of data on its biological potential. We aimed to provide new insights on the pharmacological potential of extracts prepared from B. tripartita via highlighting its antioxidant, key enzymes
Selected strains of oral bacteria were analyzed for their ability to degrade wheat starch, maltose, maltotriose, and maltoheptaose. S. sanguis IUOM-11M and JC804, S. mutans 6715, S. salivarius IUOM-8, A. viscosus IUOM-62, and A. naeslundii ATCC 12104 degraded all four substrates. S. mutans NCTC
