Article Abstract
Drone larvae (DL) has many biological activities thanks to the bioactive components it contains, but there are very few studies on its antimicrobial activity. The aim of this research was to determine the antifungal activity of DL (raw and lyophilised) water and ethanol extracts against fluconazole (FLU) sensitive and resistant yeast strains. The 87 fungal strains obtained from clinical samples were identified by phenotypic and molecular methods, and broth microdilution test was used for antifungal activity. All DL extracts had antifungal activity. The ethanolic extract of lyophilised DL showed higher antifungal activity. Total phenolic substance content and antioxidant activity of lyophilised DL ethanolic extract were found to be higher than other extracts. According to these results, the observed antifungal activity of DL extracts can be attributed not only to phenolic components, but also to synergistic effect of phenolic components with other bioactive components it contains.

The biocontrol fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum PLBJ-1 produces leucinostatins, a class of non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the optimization of culture conditions for leucinostatin production remain unexplored. Previous research showed that PLBJ-1 synthesizes leucinostatins more effectively in hand-made Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB-M) than in commercially available PDB (PDB-C).

Plants are constantly exposed to environmental changes and must respond carefully to ensure survival and growth. Under high temperatures, many plants exhibit a series of morphological and developmental adjustments, including increased hypocotyl and petiole elongation. These adaptations, collectively termed thermomorphogenesis, promote transpiration and water loss, thereby enhancing evaporative cooling.

This review article presents an overview of the structure-function characteristics and extensive applications of complexes formed between lactoferrin (Lf) and various bioactive compounds. Lactoferrin, a glycoprotein predominantly found in colostrum, possesses iron-binding capacity and exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antitumor effects. Through complexation with proteins, phenolic compounds, polysaccharides, and other bioactive substances, the structural and functional properties of Lf are significantly improved, enhancing its potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors.

Throughout the past decades, annonaceous plants have been of particular interest to the natural product community because of their therapeutic value and their richness in isoquinoline alkaloids. Taking advantage from our laboratory historical collection of these compounds, a MS/MS database of 322 isoquinolines and other metabolites from Annonaceae was implemented and named IQAMDB . The present report describes the dereplication of known alkaloids from stem barks of Greenwayodendron suaveolens (Engl.
