Acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity of acetylated depsidones from Lobaria pulmonaria
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
As part of our ongoing project of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from lower marine and terrestrial species, a phytochemical investigation was conducted on a foliose lichen, Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. (Lobariaceae), ...
Fatty acids of Rhodobryum ontariense (Bryaceae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
The chemical composition of Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb. has not been previously investigated. Fatty acids of this moss were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively with an aim to identify its corresponding ...
Sugar composition of the moss Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb.
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
Although the second biggest terrestrial group of plants, bryophytes remain poorly known chemically compared to the angiosperms. In this article, the sugars of the moss Rhodobryum ontariense, an unstudied representative of ...
Heavy metal content of a medicinal moss tea for hypertension
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2012)
The content of various heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, manganese and zinc) in the moss species Rhodobryum ontariense (Kindb.) Kindb. and its tea are presented in this study. ...
In vitro anti-quorum sensing activity of phytol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
Anti-quorum sensing activity of the diterpene phytol was evaluated in vitro for the first time. This compound (at three sub-MIC concentrations - 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 MIC, respectively) reduced the formation of Pseudomonas ...
Further in vitro evaluation of antiradical and antimicrobial activities of phytol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
The antiradical activity of phytol was evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance towards hydroxyl radical (root OH), superoxide anion radical (), methoxy radical (root CH2OH), carbon-dioxide anion radical (), as well ...
Novel and highly potent antitumour natural products from cnidarians of marine origin
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
This article covers the 2003-2012 literature published for marine natural products from the phylum Cnidaria. The focus is on new and highly potent antitumour substances, together with details related to the organism sourced. ...
The redox couple avarol/avarone in the fight with malignant gliomas: the case study of U-251 MG cells
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2018)
This study aimed to screen in vitro antitumour activity of the redox couple avarol/avarone against the human malignant glioma cell line U-251 MG for the first time. Compared both with avarol and positive controls used ...
Potential antioxidant activity of the moss Bryum moravicum
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2013)
A limited number of mosses has ever been studied regarding antioxidant activity among which only a few are European species. As a part of our ongoing screening of new promising bryophyte resources of natural antioxidants, ...
An insight into the cytotoxic activity of phytol at in vitro conditions
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
The cytotoxicity of the diterpene alcohol, phytol, was evaluated by using the MTT assay in vitro against seven tumour cells and one normal cell of human origin. The compound tested induced concentration-dependent cytotoxic ...
