The samples were then identified by macroscopic and microscopical methods, Molecular fingerprinting, of Cladosporium strains populations depending on MP-PCR using Primers (AGG) 5 , (CAG) 5 , (GACA) 4 , and (AG) 8 C. In addition, we have applied the UP-PCR technique using L21 and Fok1 Genotyping patterns extracted by MP-PCR showed good discrimination with amplification of (AGG) 5 , (AG) 8 C and (CAG) 5 over (GACA) 4. In addition, L21 primer revealed variability over FOK1 primer. current work indicate that MP-PCR and UP-PCR fingerprinting method are appropriate for characterization of large groups of Cladosporium due to its simplicity


Phytochemicals, Acute Toxicity And Genotoxicity Of Chewing Sticks From Zanthoxylum Zanthoxyloides Root And Distemonanthus Benthamianus Stem, Chinwe S. Alaribe, Akolade R. Oladipupo, Anjola T. Adebesin, Omolayomi Kaska, Emuejevoke T. Toye Jul 2022

Dental caries has been reported to touch almost half of the world’s population, making it one of the most prevalent disease conditions in the world. Studies have shown that chewing sticks could be useful in cleaning of teeth and could offer protection against dental conditions, including caries. Given the increasing usage of chewing sticks and their unstandardized nature, in this study we investigated the acute toxicity, genotoxic effects on liver and kidney, and phytochemical constituents of chewing sticks from Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides root and Distemonanthus benthamianus stem, widely used in West Africa. Chemical tests showed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, …


Antimicrobial And Cytotoxic Activities Of Ascidian Species Collected From Egyptian Coasts, Amany Metwally, Sarah Ali Shalaby, Tarek Ahmed Temraz, Mohammed Ismail Ahmed Mar 2022

Antimicrobial And Cytotoxic Activities Of Ascidian Species Collected From Egyptian Coasts, Amany Metwally, Sarah Ali Shalaby, Tarek Ahmed Temraz, Mohammed Ismail Ahmed

Discovering novel drugs for curing cancer and infectious diseases is the prime interest of several research areas now. Marine sessile invertebrates have produced secondary metabolites, a lot of which are utilized as novel pharmaceutical agents with diverse effects whether anti-cancer or anti-microbial. Ascidians are marine sessile animals (phylum: Chordata, class: Ascidiacea). Various anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial components are obtained from different bioactive compounds belonging to ascidian species and are in different stages of clinical trials. In this study, five ascidian species which are Polyclinum constellatum, Botryllus eilatensis, Didemnum sp., Symplegma rubra, and Styela canopus were collected from two coastal sites …


The Beneficial Effects Of Ferula Asafoetida Oleo-Gum Resin In Gastrointestinal Disorders, Mohaddese Mahboubi Feb 2022

The Beneficial Effects Of Ferula Asafoetida Oleo-Gum Resin In Gastrointestinal Disorders, Mohaddese Mahboubi

Bulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University

Ferula asafoetida is a plant from Umbelliferae Family, which its gum is traditionally used to treat the gastrointestinal disorders (parasite, bloating, digestion, cancer). According to its traditional applications, the subject of this review was to evaluate the efficacy of F. asafoetida in management of different gastrointestinal disorders in modern medicine. For this purpose, the scientific resources (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, SciFinder, ACS Publications, and Wiley), traditional books, and thesis were investigated by the word of Ferula asafoetida, Hing, and gastrointestinal tract and the results were evaluated. There was one clinical trial on the efficacy of F. …
