Curcumin (Curc) reacts with zinc di‑iodine (ZnI) in 2:1molar ratio in the presence of an excess of a base triethylamine ((CHCH)N) in methanol (CHOH) solution towards the amorphous solid material of formula [ZnI(Curc)] (1). The complex was characteriz...
The guanine incropped Cu based metal-organic framework (Guanine-Cu-MOF) was synthesized by facile one-step sonochemical method by simply mixing of 4-4, biphenyldicarboxylic, guanine and copper nitrate (Bio-Cu-Hbpdc-Gu). The prepared guanine-MOF was c...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of green tea seed (GTS) extract as a natural preservative in food. Food preservative ability and mutagenicity studies of GTS extract and identification of antimicrobial compounds from GTS...
In the present study, 134 morphologically distinct actinobacteria isolates were obtained from soil samples from 10 different localities in the Saudi Arabian desert. The preliminary screening revealed that 16 of these isolates possessed antimicrobial ...
VetPath is an ongoing pan-European antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring programme collecting pathogens from diseased cattle, pigs and poultry not recently treated with antibiotics. Non-duplicate milk samples were collected from cows with acute cli...
This work describes purification of a protease from the visceral mass of the mussel Mytella charruana as well as evaluation of its ability to hydrolyze milk casein to generate antimicrobial peptides. The enzyme showed pI of 4.1 and a single polypepti...
Various 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether derivatives containing 2-chloro-5-methylene pyridine, 2-chloro-5-methylene thiazole, 3,4-dimethoxy-2-methylene pyridine, and N,N-dimethyl-2-ethylamino moieties were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their anti...
