Article Abstract

In folk medicine, is used to treat skin diseases and mycoses in the Amazon region. We evaluated the anti- activity of the hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of (EHVG). HPLC-PDA and FIA-ESI-IT-MS were used to chemically characterize EHVG. The anti- activity was determined in vitro by the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against (ATCC-2001); (ATCC-90028, ATCC-14053, and ATCC-SC5314), and clinical isolates. EHVG effects on adhesion, growth, and biofilm formation were also determined. Molecular docking was used to predict targets for EHVG compounds. The main compounds identified included anthraquinone, vismione D, kaempferol, quercetin, and vitexin. EHVG was fungicidal against all tested strains. ATCC 14053 and ATCC 2001 were the most sensitive strains, as the extract inhibited their virulence factors. In silico analysis indicated that vismione D presented the best antifungal activity, since it was the most effective in inhibiting CaCYP51, and may act as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, according to the online PASS prediction. Overall, the data demonstrate that EHVG has an anti- effect by inhibiting virulence factors of the fungi. This activity may be related to its vismione D content, indicating this compound may represent a new perspective for treating diseases caused by sp.

It is helpful for diagnostic purposes to improve our current knowledge of gut development and serum biochemistry in young piglets. This study investigated serum biochemistry, and gut site-specific patterns of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and expression of genes related to barrier function, innate immune response, antioxidative status and sensing of fatty and bile acids in suckling and newly weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of two replicate batches with 10 litters each.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), remain heterogeneous disorders with variable response to biologics. Post-operative recurrence in CD is common despite surgery and prophylactic biotherapies. Understanding the inflammatory mediators associated with recurrence and treatment response could pave the way for personalized strategies.

Terminalia arjuna, an important medicinal plant in traditional Indian systems, has been extensively studied for its cardioprotective bark. However, limited attention has been given to its fruit, which contains several biologically active phytochemicals with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to isolate and partially purify phytoactive compounds from the fruit of T.

Biofilm formation and other virulence phenotypes under quorum sensing regulation play a vital role in the pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila, triggering the emergence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) which increases fish mortality, environmental issues, and economic loss in aquaculture, necessitating the discovery of novel drugs to bypass standard antibiotics. Here, quorum quenching (QQ) may be a sustainable anti-virulent approach. β-Lactamase enzyme obtained from Chromohalobacter sp.
