Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Analysis of the Chemical Composition of Cinnamomum tamala leaves and Biological ActivityQianwen Gong, Pin Chen, Linyang Wang, Shuge TianCinnamomum tamala (Buch.-Ham.) Nees and Ebermaier. (Lauraceae) is a less explored medicinal plant in Uyghur medicine, with limited knowledge about its non-volatile compounds. We utilized chemical pre-screening in conjunction with UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS to analyze the phytochemical makeup of C. tamala leaves. Total polyphenols were measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while total flavonoids were quantified through NaNO2-Al (NO3)3 colorimetric analysis across four … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnveiling the Potential of Dombeya buettneri K.Schum As a Drug Agent: Molecular Docking of Compounds With Enzymes Linked to Diabetes and Neurodegenerative DiseaseEsther Emem Nwanna, Samuel Chima Ugbaja et al.This study investigated the mechanisms of Dombeya buettneri (snowball leafy) extracts on diabetes, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases. It compared extracts obtained using steep water (a by-product of corn wet milling) and aqueous water. The extracts were analyzed for total phenol, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activities such as FRAP, ABTS, NO, DPPH, iron-induced lipid peroxidation assay, degradation of deoxyribose (Fenton’s reaction), … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2026 · 2,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytochemical Composition, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties of Foeniculum vulgare Essential OilSaif M. Dmour, Saqr Abushattal, Sultan Ayesh Mohammed Saghir et al.This study intended to inspect the phytochemical composition and bioactivity of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seed Essential Oil (FSEO) from Jordan. The EO was extracted via hydrodistillation from air-dried samples with 4.42% (v/w) yield. Twenty compounds, constituting around 98.5% of the EO were identified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Estragole (47.15%) and Anethole (36.2%), appeared as predominant oxygenated monoterpenes compounds in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2025 · 4,638 accessesView PDFCite
