“…38 In addition, photosynthetic pigments and cinnamic acid showed a direct correlation with the antimicrobial potential against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, sinaptic acid showed a positive correlation only with Staphylococcus aureus; likewise, cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, syringic acid and quercetin in direct correlation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 8 Plumericin (Figure 3), an iridoid lactone isolated from the stem of M. charantia, has shown antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis with minimal inhibitory concentration values better than cloxacillin. 66 The aqueous seed extract has shown greater antimicrobial capacity by inhibiting the growth of Fusarium solani 19 and Pasteurella multocida, compared to the extracts of methanolic, ethanolic, hexane and ethyl acetate that were effective against S. aureus, Enterococcus and fungi.…”

“…29 That is why the search for new entities with antibacterial potential is a worldwide research focus 30 and M. Charantia is a species with great possibilities. Several studies have demonstrated antifungal and antibacterial activity in M. Charantia 9,[31][32][33][34] , as well as antimicrobial activity in leaves 8,[35][36][37][38][39][40] , and fruit. 41 In the last two years there has been a significant increase in publications of scientific articles on M. charantia (Figure 1), generating a large amount of information about it and its antimicrobial activity, which is why the organization and selection of this information become necessary and important in order to provide interested researchers with updated information on this species.…”

Bitter melon, bitter cucumber or bitter gourd are some of the names given to M. charantia. It belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. 44 M. charantia is a vegetable with many culinary uses, especially in Asia and Africa, and is commonly cultivated in Africa, India, Malaysia, China and South America. 44,45 M.ABSTRACT Momordica charantia L. (bitter melon) is a plant belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family and is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas around the world, mainly in Asia, India, China and Brazil, where it is traditionally used as a medicinal plant, and the fruits of some varieties of M. charantia are consumed as food. Studies have determined that this plant contains a great diversity of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential like charantin, α-momorcharin and MAP30, and highlighting its properties as antidiabetic, antiulcer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, antihyperglycemic and anticancer. Review shows the complete botanical description of the plant (fruits, leaves, stem, etc.), the bioactive chemical compounds reported in the plant species, the antimicrobial activity of the extracts or fractions of M. charantia, emphasizing the antibacterial and antifungal activities, with respective values of MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) reported according to the methodology used in each study. The review seeks to update the phytochemical and pharmacological knowledge of M. charantia, which would be useful for researchers in their search for new chemical compounds of the plant, studies of its safety and efficacy, as well as the evaluation of its possible synergistic action in combination with other antimicrobials, in order to find new therapeutic alternatives against bacterial resistance.

“…Anthocyanins are generally effective in inhibiting α-glucosidase, lipase, α-amylase enzymes, lowering glucose levels, regulating insulin secretion, and preventing insulin resistance (Habtemariam & Varghese, 2014). They possess anticancer (Liang et al 2019) anti-tumoral (Reboredo-Rodríguez 2018), anti-atherosclerotic (Long et al, 2018), anti-inflammatory (Perez-Meseguer et al 2019), anti-microbial (Bukhari et al 2019) and anti-obesity effects on human health and are the chemical componds that prevent neuronal and cardiovascular diseases (Yang et al, 2019, Watson et al, 2019, Zhang et al, 2019b. Anthocyanins have anti-obesity effects of blood lowering leptin levels by means of the modulation of adipocytokine secretion and lipid metabolism in the adipose tissue (Tucakovic et al, 2018).…”

Obesity-associated Pathways of Anthocyanins

Anthocyanins have a great potential for human health, as a subgroup of phenolic compounds. Interactions of anthocyanin involved in digestion and thus in obesity consist of inhibition of pancreatic lipase, regulation of lipolysis and lipogenesis, activation of an activated protein kinase enzyme, controlling of digestion hormones (leptin, insulin, ghrelin, cholecystokinin, GIP, GLP-1). Anthocyanins are the compounds that can control metabolic syndrome and obesity by ameliorating lipid metabolism, increasing energy expenditure, suppressing food intake and inhibiting lipid absorption. In addition, the interactions with other compounds during the processing and/or in the intestinal canal can change their absorption capability and bioavailability. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, inflammatory cytokines signaling, free-radical scavenging activity are among the primary functions of anthocyanins playing role in the basic metabolic pathways. Anthocyanins also interact with gut microbiota that plays a role in many metabolic pathways. In the review, the effects of anthocyanins on the obesity-associated mechanisms in the metabolism are considered and summarized under the light of recent researches.

“…Most of the works are devoted to studying the effect of magnetization of seeds of various plants before planting [11][12][13][14][15][16], studying the effect of magnetic fields on the process of their growth and development [17][18][19][20], and also the effect of magnetic fields on soil microflora [21][22][23]. This effect was studied by various groups of researchers in natural and laboratory conditions.…”

The article presents the results of studies that allow us to assess the environmental impact of various types of electromagnetic fields on the effectiveness of subsequent remediation measures and the inclusion of areas that have been exposed to electromagnetic effects in residential areas, as well as the use of agricultural land. The growth dynamics of biotest objects of vegetation planted in technogenic soil that has undergone preliminary treatment with electromagnetic fields of various nature was evaluated. An assessment was also made of the effect of magnetization on the structure of the soil and its filtration ability, including the change in the state of soil layers caused by the action of electromagnetic fields on inherent moisture. As a result of the research, data were obtained that make it possible to assess the degree of influence of electromagnetic fields of various kinds on the effectiveness of subsequent reclamation measures and the use of the inclusion of zones exposed to electromagnetic effects in the composition of residential areas, as well as for agricultural land. Thus, plants planted in technogenic soil, previously subjected to electromagnetic influence, demonstrate a pronounced inhibition of ontogenesis, this effect is enhanced if the soil was previously in a moist state. It was found that the introduction of fertilizers into the soil, previously subjected to electromagnetic action, has a beneficial effect on plant growth, but their effectiveness is significantly reduced.
