Comparative investigation into the anticancer activity of analogs of marine coelenterazine and coelenteramine.

Cancer is still one of the most challenging diseases to treat, making the pursuit for novel molecules with potential anticancer activity an important research topic. Herein, we have performed a comparative investigation into the anticancer activity of analogs of marine coelenterazine and coelenteramine. The former is a well-known bioluminescent substrate, while the latter is a metabolic product of the resulting bioluminescent reaction.

Chemical Characterization and Antifungal Activity of Blue Tansy () Essential Oil and Crude Extracts against f. sp. an Agent Causing Bayoud Disease of Date Palm.

L. is a Mediterranean plant, commonly known as Blue Tansy due to its blue colour as an essential oil, which is widely used for medicinal purposes. However, there are no studies on the bioactive compounds (especially, phenolic compounds) and the biological properties of their organic extracts.

Chemical Characterization and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Properties of the Wild Medicinal Mushroom Growing in Northern Moroccan Forests.

is an extensively famous medicinal mushroom distributed worldwide. Despite being widely grown in Moroccan forests, there are no studies on its nutritional, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical values. Herein, the objective of this study was to investigate the chemical characterization and antimicrobial properties of methanolic extract.

Chemical Characterization and Several Bioactivities of from Morocco.

The purpose of this work was to investigate, for the first time to our knowledge, the chemical composition and bioactivity of methanolic extracts (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers) from (L.) Chevall. that grows wild in northern Morocco (the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region).

Antioxidant Properties, Bioactive Compounds Contents, and Chemical Characterization of Two Wild Edible Mushroom Species from Morocco: (Sowerby) Vizzini and (Bull.) Cooke.

Mushrooms have been consumed for centuries and have recently gained more popularity as an important source of nutritional and pharmaceutical compounds. As part of the valorization of mushroom species in northern Morocco, the current study aimed to investigate the chemical compositions and antioxidant properties of two wild edible mushrooms, and . Herein, the bioactive compounds were determined using spectrophotometer methods, and results showed that the value of total phenolic content (TPC) was found to be higher in (32.

Phytochemical Compounds and Anticancer Activity of Extracts from Northern Morocco.

Many of the chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of cancer are molecules identified and isolated from plants or their synthetic derivatives. This work aimed to identify the bioactive compounds using LC-MS and GC-MS and to evaluate the anticancer activity of the methanolic extracts of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers from . The anticancer activity was evaluated in vitro against two cancer cell lines: human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and human prostate carcinoma (PC-3), using the MTT assay and microscopic observation.

Phytochemical Composition, Antioxidant and Antifungal Activity of , a Medicinal Plant Collected from Northern Morocco.

is a Mediterranean endemic plant commonly known as "Zaïtra" in northern Morocco. As is widely used in traditional medicine and food, this present work aims to investigate the chemical compositions and biological activities of the leaves essential oil (TcLEO), acetonic (TcLAE), and methanolic extract (TcLME). The spectrophotometric determination demonstrated that is a natural source rich in phenolic contents (TPC) and flavonoid contents (TFC) and that TcLME revealed the highest TPC and TFC than TcLAE and TcLEO.

Chemical Composition, Bioactive Compounds, and Antioxidant Activity of Two Wild Edible Mushrooms and from Two Countries (Morocco and Portugal).

The present study aimed to investigate the chemical composition, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of two wild edible mushrooms, the honey fungus ( and the parasol mushroom (, collected from Northern Morocco (MA) and Portugal (PT). Those species were chosen due to their edibility, nutraceutical, and medicinal properties. Bioactive compounds (ascorbic acid, tannin, total phenolic, total flavonoid, β-carotene, and lycopene) and their antioxidant activity were determined by spectrophotometric methods.
