Antifungal compounds from turmeric and nutmeg with activity against plant pathogens

Discovery and structure activity relationships of 2-pyrazolines derived from chalcones from a pest management perspective

“…Each fungus was grown in 0.3, 3.0, and 30.0 lM solutions of each test compound. Microtiter plates (Nunc MicroWell, untreated; Roskilde, Denmark) were covered with a plastic lid and incubated in a growth chamber as described previously (Wang et al, 2013;Radwan et al, 2014). Fungal growth was then evaluated by measuring the absorbance of each well at 620 nm using a microplate photometer (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA).…”

Directed assembly of cobalt(II) 1-H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid coordination networks by bipyridine and its derivatives: structural versatility, electrochemical properties, and antifungal activity

“…Sensitivity of fungal species to each test compound was determined by comparing the size of the inhibitory zones (Table 3) drawn on Eq. (1), where R i and R C represent the spore percentages germinating within the treated and controlled samples, respectively [17,18]. In addition, fungicide standard benomyl was used as a control at 2 mM in 4 μL of DMF.…”

Turmeric/polyvinyl alcohol Th(IV) phosphate electrospun fibers: Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial studies

“…Electrospining is one of the globally acknowledged modern, economical and versatile techniques to produce smooth fibers in nanometer range [3,4] . Electrospun fibers offer several outstanding properties such as large surface to volume ratio, excellent flexibility, small width and multi-scale porosity and hence are extensively utilized for fabrication of bioengineering materials [5,6] for various applications in the emerging areas of medical science like wound dressing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, bone regeneration etc ., [7][8][9][10][11] . The name turmeric i.e.…”
