Establishing the reaction mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of natural products plays an important role in phytochemistry and pharmacology. Mechanistic studies of the biogenesis of natural products have been mainly explored by means of theoretical calculations, and taking into account experimental structures of reagents and products. Using a hybrid meta density functional theory method (mPW1B95), we studied the mechanisms associated with the biogenesis of five neo-clerodanes isolated from Salvia mycrophylla. The reaction mechanisms presented here explain the formation of the five neo-clerodanes and coincides with the formulated biogenetic hypothesis. Graphical Abstract Proposed biogenesis of diterpenes isolated from Salvia microphylla.

Selective therapeutic targeting of cardiomyocytes (CMs) and non-myocytes (NMs) within the heart is an active field of research. The success of those novel therapeutic strategies is linked to the ability to accurately assess uptake and gene delivery efficiencies in clinically relevant animal models. Nevertheless, quantification at the single cell level remains a significant challenge.

This study evaluated the antifungal potential of essential oils (EOs): oregano (), rosemary (), clove (), thyme (), cinnamon (), and basil (). These oils were tested against fungi isolated from banana peels (). The fungi tested were identified through macroscopic and microscopic analyses and DNA sequencing, after being isolated in potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium modified with 0.

This research investigated the potential of sage essential oil incorporated soy-protein based edible films in extending the shelf-life of fresh kashar cheese. Cheese samples were coated with three different types of films. The first group was coated with a film containing soy protein isolate (SPIG) and 3% (w/v) glycerol, while group 2 (SPISEO1) and group 3 (SPISEO2) were coated with films including 1%-2% sage (Salvia officinalis L) essential oil, respectively.

Efficient and selective enrichment of Salvianolic acid (SAA) from natural herbs is a promising approach with substantial potential for practical applications. Therefore, SiO@UiO-66@DESs@MIPs was synthesized by using in-situ generated MOF particles (SiO@UiO-66) as the carrier and incorporating deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with good water compatibility as functional monomer. The poly-DESs imprinting layer with rich active sites is uniformly encapsulated onto SiO@UiO-66, facilitating the generation of imprinting sites exclusively on the external surface of SiO@UiO-66@DESs@MIPs, which is conducive to the specific recognition of SAA.

Simultaneously, green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as a biogenic and sustainable approach for nanomaterial preparation using plant extracts as reducing and stabilizing agents. In the current study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using phytochemically enriched extracts of chia () microgreens.
