Antibacterial Essential Oils as Adjuvants to Inhibit Antibiotic Resistance in Multidrug-resistant Bacteria.

In order to contribute to the fight against the antibiotic resistance crisis, we used a dual-activity prospection strategy for natural product mixtures with antibiotic resistance modulating and antibacterial activities in the essential oils (EOs) of Artemisia ludoviciana, Lippia graveolens, and Cosmos bipinnatus against multidrug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa HIM-MR01, Staphylococcus aureus HIM-MR02, Enterococcus faecalis HIM-MR05, and Salmonella typhi HIM-MR06. The three EOs exerted antibacterial activity on the bacterial strains with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.1735 to 65.

Larvicidal Activity against Spodoptera frugiperda of some Constituents from two Diospyros Species. In silico Pesticide-likeness Properties, Acetylcholinesterase Activity and Molecular Docking.

This report informs for the first time the chemical constituents of Diospyros xolocotzii and Diospyros digyna, the pesticidal and the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition potential of some compounds calculated by in silico approaches, the larvicidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda of available compounds, the AChE inhibition of selected compounds, and the results of the molecular docking of the most active ones with this receptor. From the aerial parts of D. xolocotzii were isolated pentacyclic triterpenes (1-4, 6, 10, 11-13), phytosterols (15-17), and isodiospyrin (18), whereas the analysis of aerial parts of D.

Ethanol Extract Corrects Lipid Abnormalities in Wistar Rats with Experimental Diabetes.

Abnormalities in lipid metabolism, associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), frequently occur in people with diabetes. is a plant used in traditional medicine to treat lipid abnormalities. The chemical composition and hypolipidemic activity of the ethanolic extract of were analyzed to broaden our knowledge of its mechanism of action.
