Zizyphus mauritiana as a Source of Tannins with Antibacterial and Antiplasmodial Activities | Chapter 7 | Chemistry and Biochemistry: Research Progress Vol. 8

 

Background: In Africa and other countries where malaria is endemic, traditional medicinal plants are frequently used to treat or cure malaria. Ziziphus mauritiana, a tropical fruit tree species belonging to the family Rhamnaceae, is used in African traditional medicine against different symptoms and diseases.

 

Aim: This study was designed to evaluate tannins extracted from Ziziphus mauritiana as a source of potential antimalarial and antimicrobial agents in Mali.

 

Methodology: The collection of plant materials, tannins extraction, antibacterial activity evaluation were done at the University of Sciences, Techniques and Technologies of Bamako, Mali and antiplasmodial activity assessment at Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, United States of America, between September 2013 and February 2014. The tannins were extracted from leaves of Z. mauritiana collected around Bamako, Mali. Antiplasmodial activity was evaluated against 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) and Dd2 (chloroquine-resistant) strains of Plasmodium falciparum using the fluorescence-based SYBR® green I method. Antibacterial activity of tannins was evaluated by the disc diffusion method against strains of Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhi, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus donated by the National Research Institute in Public Health in Mali and collected from infected patients suffering from different diseases. The Kruskal–Wallis H test for data of zone of inhibition was used with the Statistical Package for the Medical Sciences version 17.0.

 

Results: The tannin extracts from leaves of Z. mauritiana demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity (average 7-9 mm diameter of inhibition zone) on tested strains. Tannins extracted from leaves of Z. mauritiana showed moderate antiplasmodial activity against 3D7 P. falciparum (46.9±1.12 μg/mL) and against Dd2 P. falciparum strains (67.8±2.39 μg/mL). They also showed an antibacterial activity on different bacterial strains, showing important inhibition zones. Especially, they were more active on Streptococcus than Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus.

 

Conclusion: Tannins extracted from Z. mauritiana demonstrated good antiplasmodial and antibacterial activities. It could be regarded as effective and studied for further consideration as a complementary medicine source of antimicrobials against most multidrug-resistant bacteria and other parasites. These data confirm the potential use of tannins as a key element in antimalarial and antibacterial drug development.

Understanding Emerging Perceptions of Cultured Meat: A Mind Genomics Approach | Chapter 3 | Food Science and Agriculture: Research Highlights Vol. 4

 

Cultured meat is part of the emerging field of cellular agriculture, produced by growing tissue from original animal cells. The issues involved in cultured meat emerge from technological development and consumer knowledge and acceptance. This study explores the reaction of consumers to different concepts about cultured meat. The objective is to determine whether it is possible to form a coherent picture of the concept of cultured meat by presenting respondents with different combinations of phrases pertaining to cultured meat and measuring which phrases drive agreement. Using the Mind Genomics approach, 100 respondents evaluated 24 unique vignettes each, composed of combinations of statements about cultured meat. Respondents evaluated combinations of messages about the emerging technology of cultured meat; these were created to be meaningful to a non-technical person, and dealt with the sensory, technical, and sociological aspects of cultured meat. The findings suggest that the respondent does not understand what cultured meat “means, and may agree with statements which directly negate each other. There are three poorly defined mind-sets underlying the study. Mind-Set 1-focuses on ingredients and on product form; Mind-Set 2-focuses on sustainability and ingredients; Mind-Set 3- focuses on ethical and social issues as well as on product form. These three mind-sets are intertwined within the population, and cannot be separated by conventional geo-demographics. These data present a unique opportunity to understand the formation of a new technology in food design, cultured meat. This study highlights the need for future research to be conducted periodically, perhaps annually, to monitor changes in public understanding and perceptions as the technology matures and in vitro products move toward market entry and commercial success.

Effect of Gossypol on the Rumen Microbial Degradation of Whole Cotton Seed and Grass Hay Incubated in Consecutive Batch Cultures | Chapter 6 | Research Perspectives of Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 6

It is well known that cottonseed is widely used as a feed supplement for ruminant animals. However, anti-nutrient gossypol in the seed of cottonseed may cause adverse effects on microbial degradation of the feed. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of gossypol on the rumen microbial degradation of whole cottonseed (WCS) and grass hay (GH) with and/or without antinutrient gossypol in a consecutive batch culture (CBC) system. The results obtained from this experiment suggest that the presence of gossypol (1 mM) inhibits dry matter (DM) degradation, gas production from grass hay (GH), and growth of rumen microorganisms in consecutive batch cultures. There was a change in the molar proportion of volatile fatty acids (VFA) when WCS was used as a substrate, suggesting the fermentation of WCS has altered the composition and the activity of the rumen microbial population. However, GH with 1 mM gossypol was still more degradable by mixed rumen microorganisms than WCS, and there was evidence that the microorganism might adapt to the presence of gossypol when GH was the substrate, but not when WCS was used.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of Plant Extracts against Pathogenic Fungi | Chapter 1 | Recent Developments in Chemistry and Biochemistry Research Vol. 7

 

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro potential of aqueous extracts of plant leaves to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The activities of plant extracts have been shown to be environmentally friendly and effective against plant pathogens. The effect of leaf extract and concentration on growth inhibition of organism I (Aspergillus flavus) in vitro revealed that a concentration of 100g/mL, Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MLE) gave the highest growth inhibition (59.14) followed by Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract (NLE) (49.70) and Bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) extract (BLE) (45.84) respectively while the least growth inhibition on organism 1 (Aspergillus flavus) was by MLE at concentration of 40 g/mL (30.11) followed by NLE at 60 g/mL (32.11) and BLE at 40 g/mL (40.13). On organism 2 (Penicillium waksmanii), MLE at a concentration of 100 g/mL gave the highest growth inhibition of (50.49) followed by NLE (49.01) and BLE (36.72) respectively while the least inhibition on growth of organism 2 in vitro was by BLE at concentration of 60 g/mL (16.05) followed by MLE (40.70) and NLE (40.70) at concentration of 80 g/mL respectively. On organism 3 (Botryodiplodia theobromae), MLE at concentration of 100 g/mL gave the highest inhibition of growth (57.00) followed by NLE (52.71) and BLE (50.15) respectively while the least inhibition on growth of organism 3 in vitro was by BLE at 40 g/mL (21.50) followed by MLE at 60 g/mL (31.06) and NLE at 40 g/mL (41.89). On organism 4 (Fusarium oxysporum), the BLE at 100 g/mL (44.41) while MLE showed the least growth inhibition at 60 g/mL (24.04) followed by BLE at 40 g/mL (26.60) and NLE at 40 g/mL (30.12). The aqueous extracts of leaves of Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica and Vernonia amygdalina were found to be effective in inhibiting the radial growth of the fungal organisms in vitro, with inhibition varying from one extract to another. NLE showed the highest grand inhibitory effect of extract concentration on growth inhibition of organism 5 (Colletotrichum asianum) in vitro at 100 g/mL (53.68) followed by MLE at 100 g/mL (51.51) and BLE at 100 g/mL (40.94). The least inhibitory effect on the growth of organism 5 in vitro was by BLE at 80 g/mL (21.26) followed by NLE at 40 g/mL (22.25) and MLE at 40 g/mL (32.69). The controls ranged from 2.23 to 4.31 across all extract concentrations and fungal isolates. There were significant differences in growth inhibition between extract concentrations and their controls on all fungal isolates. The use of plant extracts provides an alternative means for controlling plant pathogenic fungi. This is an important step in developing plant-based biopesticides as ideal treatments for future plant disease management programmes. These botanicals are not only environmentally friendly, cost-effective, easy to produce and easy to apply formulations, but they are also safe for consumers and provide alternative means for controlling plant pathogenic fungi.

Effect of Forage Amounts on In vitro Degradability, Fermentation and Methane Profiles of Seven Forages at Two Time Periods | Chapter 2 | Research Advances in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 9

 Factorial experiments (exp) compared the effect increasing amounts of tested forages on degradability and fermentation profiles of seven forages during in vitroincubations with 40 ml of buffered RF (inoculum, RI) for 48 and 96 hours. This exp(7 × 3 × 2) involved 7 forages each of 3 amounts (Am, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g)for two incubation times (T, 48 and 96 hours). The main effects of F, Am and F × Am were significant (P< 0.05) for In vitro dry matter degradability (IVD) and In vitro organic matter degradability(IVOMD) which decreased with increasing amounts of forages. The fermentation profiles varied with the type and amountof forages and T. It appeared that the degradability and fermentation profiles of different forages were influenced by T and amount of substrate used during in vitro incubations. However, the changes in IVD and fermentation profiles were not proportionate to the change in forage from 0.1 to 0.4 g. Thus, the uses of 0.4 g substrate are proposed to be used for subsequent studies to rank a wide range of feed ingredients.

Noteworthy of Rumen Microbial Degradation of Defatted Oilseeds Incubated in a Consecutive Batch Culture (CBC) System | Chapter 4 | Current Perspectives in Agriculture and Food Science Vol. 6

 Fat has an main role in contemplative diet. It can be utilised as energy beginning, although maybe reduce the progress of rumen microbes. An analysis was conducted to check the microbial degradation of defatted whole cottonseed (WCS) distinguished with other oilseeds in a ensuing batch civilization (CBC) system. The choice of the oilseeds were DRS1= defatted rape seed cv. Bienvenu, DRS2 = defatted rape seed cv. Libravo, DRS3 = defatted rape children cv. Samourai, DMS = defatted mustard source, DLS = defatted linseed. The CBC system was established in accordance with the methods of Theodorou [1]. The results concerning this experiment indicated that elimination fat from rape seeds and linseed increased DM misfortune and gas result. In contrast, removing fat from WCS acted not improve its DM deficit (p<0.05, SED = 12.7) indicating that the depressed DM loss of WCS was not on account of the fat content. In conclusion, although WCS contains bigger fibre content than other oilseeds, it need further analysis whether the fibre content, fat content or antagonistic-nutrients may cause the reduced microbial fermentation of WCS.

Pharmacotherapeutic Potential of Lawsonia inermis L.: Implications and Future Prospective | Chapter 14 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol. 8

 Both therapeutic and economic uses have been discovered for henna (Lawsonia inermis). Mehendi is made from the pigment lawsone, which is obtained from this plant. The henna plant contains a large number of secondary metabolites, which provide it medicinal qualities such as anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, analgesic, immunostimulatory, and many others. This produces a big demand pressure that traditional farming can't provide because of the low multiplication rate. The study's main goals are to develop the plant from the lab to the field, analyse the secondary metabolite content of the plant using multiple assays, and see if in vitro plants have higher secondary metabolic accumulation than in vivo plants. HPLC analysis and comparative transcriptome analysis were performed, followed by KEGG analysis of the pathways, to further validate the findings. Methanol performed the best in the secondary metabolic assessments of all the solvents employed in the study. It was also intriguing to discover that in vitro plants accumulated more secondary metabolites than plants in the wild. The TRAPID platform revealed a substantial difference between the plant transcript sets, indicating that gene families and enzymes contributing to secondary metabolites being more abundant in vitro plants. For tissue culture produced plants, KEGG analysis revealed a vast number of pathways associated to secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, phenols, and flavonoid production, which can be blamed for the plant's diverse medicinal and commercial qualities. As a result, this research reveals that in vitro henna plants accumulate more secondary metabolites and have a higher multiplication rate than traditional farming. These expanded secondary metabolic pathways can improve the efficiency of in vitro plants for the commercial and pharmaceutical industries, allowing them to be propagated in a stable and controlled environment without exposing the plant to stress, preventing overexploitation.

Study on Evaluation of the Efficacy of Different Fungicides against Fusarium musae, a Fruit Rot Disease of Banana | Chapter 10 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 4

 Due to the paucity of research on fusarium fruit rot diseases of banana and their management in India, it is thought worthwhile to conduct research on fusarium fruit rot diseases of banana and their management in south Gujarat in order to extend the shelf life of banana fruits and reduce losses caused by post-harvest diseases. As a result, the current investigation was launched. In this study, nine fungicides were tested against F. musae using the poison food technique on PDA medium at various concentrations. Mancozeb 75 WP at 2500ppm, azoxystrobin (20%) + difenoconazole (12.5%) at 1000ppm, and propiconazole (25 EC) at 500ppm and 1000ppm were found to be the most superior because they completely inhibited F. musae mycelial growth In vivo, the lowest fusarium fruit rot severity was found with propiconazole (25 EC) at 1000ppm in pre (6.61 percent) and post-inoculation (6.7 percent) treatments at 8 days after inoculation in pre (6.61 percent) and post-inoculation (6.7 percent) treatments at 8 days after inoculation. At 8 days after inoculation, azoxystrobin (20%) + difenoconazole (12.5%) at 500ppm and chlorothalonil (75 WP) at 2500ppm were shown to be the least efficient in decreasing the severity of fusarium fruit rot in pre and post inoculation treatments.

In vitro Antioxidant Effects and α -Amylase and α - Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity of Cissus polyantha Aqueous Extract | Chapter 10 | Current Topics in Medicine and Medical Research Vol.2

Cissus polyantha (Vitaceae) is a plant used in Cameroonian traditional medicine for the treatment of
diabetes. The aims of this study were to evaluate the
in vitro antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of
the aqueous extract of
Cissus polyantha leafy stems. The enzyme inhibitory activity was determined
in vitro on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, followed by confirmative study in vivo on normal
rats (oral starch and sucrose tolerance tests at doses of 111, 222 and 444 mg/kg). The ferric reducing
antioxidant power and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antiradical activity of the extract were
examined to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the extract.The total content of phenols, flavonoids
and tannins of the extract were also determined. Results showed an inhibitory effect of the extract on
the α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity with IC
50 values of 216.14 and 182.40 µg/mL respectively.
The extract at doses of 222 and 444 mg/kg induced a significant decrease in postprandial glycaemia
during the starch and sucrose tolerance tests. A remarkable antiradical activity of the extract was
obtained, although lower than that of the standard product. The aqueous extract of leafy stems of
Cissus polyantha has an interesting inhibitory activity on the α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes,
as well as an antioxidant potential, thus validating its use in traditional medicine for the treatment of
diabetes mellitus and its complications.
