Article Abstract
Traditionally, and are being used widely to cure various diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancer etc. In the present study, extracts of these plants were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against some human pathogenic bacteria . , and fungus . inhibition of these pathogenic microorganisms produced inhibition zone ranging from 9 to 18 mm. MIC values of these plant extracts ranged from 6.25 to 12.5 mg/ml. MBC of for , and was found to be 50 and 12.5 mg/ml, respectively. In case of , the MBC of all the tested microorganisms was found to be 25 mg/ml. The MFC of and against was observed to be 50 and 25 mg/ml, respectively. GC-MS analysis of and extract identified 13 and 21 compounds, respectively.

Harnessing volatile organic compound biomarkers for early cancer detection: molecular to nanotechnology-based approaches.

Early-stage cancer diagnosis is considered a grand challenge, and even though advanced analytical assays have been established through molecular biology techniques, there are still clinical limitations. For example, low concentration of target biomarkers at early stages of cancer, background values from the healthy cells, individual variation, and factors like DNA mutations, remain the limiting factor in early cancer detection. Volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers in exhaled breath are produced during cancer cell metabolism, and therefore may present a promising way to diagnose cancer at the early stage since they can be detected both rapidly and non-invasively.
