Antibacterial activity of biogenic silver and gold nanoparticles synthesized from Salvia africana-lutea and Sutherlandia frutescens
(Nanotechnology, 2020)Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using various chemical and physical methods are often cytotoxic which restricts their use in biomedical applications. In contrast, metallic biogenic NPs synthesized using biological systems ... -
Antibacterial activity of rationally designed antimicrobial peptides.
(Hindawi, 2020)Many infectious diseases are still prevalent in the world’s populations since no effective treatments are available to eradicate them. e reasons may either be the antibiotic resistance towards the available therapeutic ... -
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Syzygium jambos L. (Alston) and isolated compounds on acne vulgaris
(BioMed Central, 2013)Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin disorder leading to inflammation as a result of the production of reactive oxygen species due to the active involvement of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in the infection site of the ... -
Antibacterial and photodegradation of organic dyes using lamiaceae-mediated zno nanoparticles: A review
(MDPI, 2022)The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using plant extracts has been receiving tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional physical and chemical methods. The Lamiaceae plant family is one ... -
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using bitter leave (Veronica amygdalina) for antibacterial activities
(ScienceDirect, 2019)A green and facile biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using dry Bitter leaves (DBL) (Vernonia amygdalina) aqueous extract as a capping and reducing agent was demonstrated in this work. The effect of the precursor's ... -
Chemical composition and cosmeceutical potential of the essential oil of oncosiphon suffruticosum (L.) Källersjö
(MDPI, 2021)The South African medicinal plant Oncosiphon suffruticosum (L.) Källersjö is an important remedy used to treat chronic, respiratory, and skin ailments. From the essential oil (EO) extracted by the hydrodistillation, ... -
Oxazinethione derivatives as a precursor to pyrazolone and pyrimidine derivatives: Synthesis, biological activities, molecular modeling, adme, and molecular dynamics studies
(MDPI, 2021)In this study, we used oxazinethione as a perfect precursor to synthesize new pyrimidine and pyrazole derivatives with potent biological activities. Biological activities were determined for all compounds against A. flavus, ... -
The potential of leucosidea sericea against propionibacterium acnes
(Elsevier, 2014)The present study reports on the potential of Leucosidea sericea addressing acne vulgaris. Four known compounds namely phytol acetate, triacontanol, phytol and alpha kosin and one new compound namely, (E)-3,7,11,15-tetra ... -
Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity studies of new 2‑pyrral‑L‑amino acid Schif base palladium (II) complexes.
(Chemical Papers, 2020)Three new 2-pyrral amino acid Schif base palladium (II) complexes were synthesized, characterized and their activity against six bacterial species was investigated. The ligands: Potassium 2-pyrrolidine-L-methioninate (L1), ... -
Wound healing activities and potential of selected african medicinal plants and their synthesized biogenic nanoparticles
(2021-11)In Africa, medicinal plants have been traditionally used as a source of medicine for centuries. To date, African medicinal plants continue to play a significant role in the treatment of wounds. Chronic wounds are associated ...
