Antimicrobial activity and in vitro cytotoxicity of selected South African Helichrysum species
(Elsevier, 2011)The antimicrobial activity of 35 indigenous South African Helichrysum species was determined against six microorganisms. Seven of the 36 chloroform:methanol (1:1) extracts (leaf and stem extracts for all plants and an ... -
Biodiversity and antimicrobial activity of endophytic fungi isolated from native Sutherlandia frutescns (cancer bush)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)The current study focused on finding alternative bioactive compounds with the potentials to mitigate or control antimicrobial resistance. Natural products such as medicinal plants; are being studied for their therapeutic ... -
Electrochemical Studies and Antimicrobial Properties of Synthesized Green Mediated Metal Oxide Nanoparticles
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Nanoparticles synthesized through alternate biological methods are known to be more biocompatible with no toxic effects. The biological method of synthesis relies on the ability of organic compounds to reduce metal ions ... -
In vitro evaluation of the cytotoxic, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of selected chitosan derivatives and melittin
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)New excipients to improve the oral absorption of drugs are developing significantly. Polymers are used to enhance drug absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer that is capable of ... -
Methylene blue analogues : in vitro antimicrobial activity and in silico pharmacophore modelling
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2021)Antibiotics have drastically reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with fatal infections and have made previously impossible procedures, e.g. heart surgery, possible by allowing infections to be prevented or ... -
Methylene blue analogues: in vitro antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations and in silico pharmacophore modelling
(Elsevier, 2020)It has been shown that methylene blue has antimicrobial properties although few studies have determined its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the gold standard used to measure antimicrobial activity. The ... -
Modelling nanoparticles parameters for antimicrobial activity
(Springer, 2020)The current study reveals the antimicrobial activity of various nanoparticles (NPs) against numerous microorganisms through statistical models that define suitable parameters to improve the antimicrobial efficacy of NPs. ...
