Alternaria toxins in South African sunflower seeds: cooperative study
(Springer, 2017)Sunflower seed samples (N = 80) from different sunflower cultivars originating from different localities in South Africa were analyzed for 15 toxins produced by fungi of the genus Alternaria by means of a simple one-step ... -
Antimalarial activity of 10-alkyl/aryl esters and – aminoethylethers of artemisinin
(Elsevier, 2013)A series of n-alkyl/aryl esters were synthesized and their in vitro antiplasmodial activity was measured alongside that of previously synthesized aminoethylethers of artemisinin ozonides against various strains of ... -
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 ... -
The antioxidant properties, cytotoxicity and monoamine oxidase inhibition abilities of the crude dichloromethane extract of Tarchonanthus camphoratus L. leaves
(Academic Journals, 2011)Tarchonanthus camphoratus (camphor bush) has been widely used for numerous medicinal purposes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties, cytotoxicity and monoamine oxidase inhibition activities ... -
Development of pyridyl thiosemicarbazones as highly potent agents for the treatment of malaria after oral administration
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)Objectives Drug resistance exists to all current and investigational antimalarial drug classes. Consequently, we have set out to develop chemically and mechanistically discrete antimalarials. Here we report on the development ... -
In vitro antioxidant, antimutagenic and genoprotective activity of Rosa roxburghii fruit extract
(Wiley, 2008)The antioxidant properties of the fruit of the Rosa roxburghii (RR) plant have been associated with several putative health promoting effects. The possible cytotoxic, mutagenic/antimutagenic and genotoxic effects of RR ... -
In vitro evaluation of the cytotoxic and apoptogenic properties of aloe whole leaf and gel materials
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Aloe gel and whole-leaf materials have shown biological effects with potential therapeutic applications, and recently, their drug-absorption enhancement properties have been discovered. It is important to establish a ... -
In vitro wound healing and cytotoxic activity of the gel and whole-leaf materials from selected aloe species
(Elsevier, 2017)Ethnopharmacological relevance Aloe vera is one of the most important medicinal plants in the world with applications in the cosmetic industry and also in the tonic or health drink product market. Different parts of Aloe ... -
Pathogenic features of heterotrophic plate count bacteria from drinking-water boreholes
(IWA Publishing, 2016)Evidence suggests that heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria may be hazardous to humans with weakened health. We investigated the pathogenic potential of HPC bacteria from untreated borehole water, consumed by humans, ... -
Phytochemical-Based Evidence of the Health Benefits of Bidens Pilosa Extracts and Cytotoxicity
(Springer, 2023)Purpose Bidens pilosa L. is traditionally used as a flavouring agent in foods, in the treatment of diseases, in agriculture as a biopesticide and herbicide, and in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy ...
