“…In our opinion, the MIC values of 64 (for both staphylococci) and 128 µg/mL (for all yeast strains) do not exclude the possibility of using this compound as an antimicrobial agent (e.g., as a disinfectant). Similar or even higher values of MIC are observed for some natural products that are considered as antimicrobials, e.g., propolis [43], essential oils [44,45] and plant extracts [46,47].…”

Commercially available 2-deoxy-D-ribose was used to synthesize the appropriate oxolane derivative—(2R,3S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-3-ol—by reduction and dehydration/cyclization in an acidic aqueous solution. Its monotosyl derivative, as a result of the quaternization reaction, allowed us to obtain eight new muscarine-type derivatives containing a quaternary nitrogen atom and a hydroxyl group linked to the oxolane ring. Their structure was fully confirmed by the results of NMR, MS and IR analyses. The crystal structure of the pyridinium derivative showed a high similarity of the conformation of the oxolane ring to previously published crystal structures of muscarine. Two reference strains of Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853), two reference strains of Gram-positive staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213) and four reference strains of pathogenic yeasts of the genus Candida spp. (Candida albicans SC5314, Candida glabrata DSM 11226, Candida krusei DSM 6128 and Candida parapsilosis DSM 5784) were selected for the evaluation of the antimicrobial potential of the synthesized compounds. The derivative containing the longest (decyl) chain attached to the quaternary nitrogen atom turned out to be the most active.

“…Thus, this study aimed to examine the impact of specific antioxidant substances on the discomfort associated with chronic NP and the relationship with peripheral nerve damage. Indeed, the combined use of plant extracts may improve the efficacy by achieving synergy, operating on several targets at the same time, lowering individual component doses, and reducing adverse effects [42].…”

Neuropathy affects 7–10% of the general population and is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system. The limitations of current therapies highlight the necessity of a new innovative approach to treating neuropathic pain (NP) based on the close correlation between oxidative stress, inflammatory process, and antioxidant action. The advantageous outcomes of a novel combination composed of Hop extract, Propolis, Ginkgo Biloba, Vitamin B, and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) used as a treatment was evaluated in this study. To assess the absorption and biodistribution of the combination, its bioavailability was first examined in a 3D intestinal barrier model that replicated intestinal absorption. Further, a 3D nerve tissue model was developed to study the biological impacts of the combination during the essential pathways involved in NP. Our findings show that the combination could cross the intestinal barrier and reach the peripheral nervous system, where it modulates the oxidative stress, inflammation levels, and myelination mechanism (increased NRG, MPZ, ERB, and p75 levels) under Schwann cells damaging. This study proves the effectiveness of Ginkgo Biloba, Propolis, Hop extract, Vitamin B, and PEA in avoiding nerve damage and suggests a potential alternative nutraceutical treatment for NP and neuropathies.

Background: In various microorganisms, various defense mechanisms have evolved against the commercially available antimicrobial agents with increased resistance. Natural antimi-crobial agents of plant origin are better alternatives when an infectious disease arises due to resistant microbial strains. Here, we have evaluated the efficacy of total phenolics and total flavonoids with antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Artemisia sieversiana Ehrhl Ex Willd. plant extracted with methanol, ethyl acetate, ethanol, n-hexane, and chloroform using soxhlet procedures Methods: The evaluation of TPC was achieved with Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent method and quanti-tative estimation of TFC was done with the aluminum chloride colorimetric method. The antioxi-dant activities were estimated using FRSA-DPPH and TAC methods. The inhibitory activities of five solvent extracts of A. sieversiana against 2 gram-positive and 2 gram-negative pathogenic bac-terial strains (B. subtilis, P. aerogenosa, S. aureus, and E. coli) were evaluated using the well dif-fusion technique. Results: The highest percentage yields of A. sieversiana extracts were obtained in ethanol (4.8 g, 12.1%) and methanol (4.01 g, 10%), while minimum extract yield was obtained in n-hexane (0.53 g, 1.34%). Both phenolics and flavonoids were higher in ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate ex-tracts while minimal in n-hexane extracts. Ethanol extract has shown maximum (69%) DPPH ac-tivity with a lower IC50 value (181 μg/ml), while the highest IC50 values of 330 and 325μg/ml were recorded for n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts. The ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts dis-played overall highest TAC values. All the tested extracts of A. sieversiana exhibited variable in-hibitory effects in a dose-dependent manner against the tested bacterial strains with minimum 9.08 ± 0.23 to maximum 21.23 ± 7.04 mm inhibition zones. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts at 2 to 4 mg/ml showed greater MIC results against P. aeruginosa in comparison to the B. subtilis strain. Conclusion: The extracts of A. sieversiana have been found to be rich in TPC and TFC with re-markable antibacterial and antioxidant efficacies, and the plant extracts could be employed as pos-sible alternatives to synthetic drugs in various nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
