Pellitory plant (Parietaria judaica (PJ)) is one of the most widely used Arabian traditional medicinal plants due to its ability to cure several infectious diseases and other illnesses. The current study is aimed at assessing the phytoconstituents, antilipase, antiamylase, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic characters of the Pellitory plant (Parietaria judaica (PJ)). Phytochemical screening and procyanidin detection were conducted according to the standard phytochemical procedures. Porcine pancreatic lipase and α-amylase inhibitory activities were carried out using p-nitrophenyl butyrate and dinitrosalicylic acid assays, respectively. In addition, antimicrobial activity was determined utilizing a microdilution assay against several bacterial and fungal strains. Besides, the cytotoxic effect against HeLa cell line was tested employing 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay. The quantitative test results revealed that the methanol fraction of PJ contains 18.55 ± 0.55  mg of procyanidin and has a potential α-amylase inhibitory activity compared with the antidiabetic drug Acarbose with IC50 values of 15.84 ± 2.25 and 28.18 ± 1.22  μg/ml, respectively. Also, it has a potential antilipase activity compared to the commercial antiobesity drug, Orlistat, with IC50 values of 38.9 ± 0.29 and 12.3 ± 0.35  μg/ml, respectively. The acetone, hexane, and methanol fractions have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against the screened bacterial strains, while the acetone fraction has shown anticandidal activity with a MIC value of 0.195 mg/ml. The PJ hexane and acetone fractions decreased HeLa cell viability significantly ( p value < 0.0001) by approximately 90% at the concentration of 0.625 mg/ml. The revealed outcomes showed that the methanol fraction has strong α-amylase and lipase inhibitory characters. Besides, acetone, hexane, and methanol fractions have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, while the acetone fraction revealed potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Moreover, at low concentrations, hexane and acetone fractions have potent cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity against HeLa cancer cells. Nevertheless, PJ acetone, hexane, and methanol fractions can serve as an effective source of natural products to develop new antiobesity, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents.

A novel series of ciprofloxacin hybrids comprising various heterocycle derivatives has been synthesized and structurally elucidated using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elementary analyses. Using ciprofloxacin as a reference, compounds 1–21 were screened in vitro against Gram-positive bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative strains such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As a result, many of the compounds examined had antibacterial activity equivalent to ciprofloxacin against test bacteria. Compounds 2–6, oxadiazole derivatives, were found to have antibacterial activity that was 88 to 120% that of ciprofloxacin against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The findings showed that none of the compounds tested had antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, but did have poor activity against Candida albicans, ranging from 23% to 33% of fluconazole, with compound 3 being the most active (33% of fluconazole). The most potent compounds, 3, 4, 5, and 6, displayed an IC50 of 86, 42, 92, and 180 nM against E. coli DNA gyrase, respectively (novobiocin, IC50 = 170 nM). Compounds 4, 5, and 6 showed IC50 values (1.47, 6.80, and 8.92 µM, respectively) against E. coli topo IV in comparison to novobiocin (IC50 = 11 µM).

Essential oils from Calamintha umbrosa and Nepeta species viz. N. leucophylla; N. hindostana; N. ciliaris and N. clarkei (family Lamiaceae), was tested against six bacterial strains. To evaluate the correlation between the antimicrobial activity and the essential oils, PCA and HCA analysis was done. PCA and HCA analysis of the antibacterial activity revealed that essential oils of Nepeta species had a strong and broad spectrum antibacterial effect against bacterial strains of P. aeruginosa and S. scandidus. The N. leucophylla oil showed higher activity against Gram-negative bacteria P. aeruginosa (10.5 mm, MIC 10 µL/mL) and K. pneumonia (9.1 mm, MIC 45 µL/mL) among all Nepeta oils which may be due to presence of active antimicrobial iridoids compounds.

  Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) produced by bacteria is a promising future food preservative agent. This study aimed to obtain bacterial strains that can produce broad-spectrum antibacterial agents and identify the best BLIS producer species based on 16S rDNA sequences. The bacterial strains were isolated from fer-mented mare’s milk using MRS and M17 agar medium. The isolates then were initially screened based on its antibacterial activity of crude cells against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. The selected strains were cultured and harvested for its cell-free supernatant (CFS). The pH of CFS was adjusted to 6.5 then used for antibacterial activity as-says against ten pathogenic bacteria. Also, the proteinaceous nature of BLIS compound was confirmed by testing with proteinase K. The gDNA of selected isolates was extracted and the 16S rDNA was am-plified using the polymerase chain reaction method then sequenced. The 16S rDNA sequences of the selected strains were used to identify the species using BLAST nucleotides from NCBI then the phylogenetic trees were constructed. 32 isolates was obtained, but only three iso-lates (BC9, SB7, and DC12) were selected as a result of antibacterial screening for further assays. The neutralized-CFS (N-CFS) of these isolates exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. The N-CFS could be assumed as BLIS. The isolate of BC9 was identified as Ba-cillus amyloliquefaciens strain BC9 that has 99.99 % similarity with B. amyloliquefaciens KC-1, SB7 was Lactobacillus plantarum strain SB7 that has 99.99 % similarity with Lb. plantarum JMC 1149T, and DC12 was Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain DC12 that has 100 % sim-ilarity with Lb. rhamnosus DSM 20021T. Thus, the BLIS produced by those strains is potential for future food and beverages preservations.

Background: Ruta chalepensis is a shrub from the Mediterranean basin widely used in the traditional medicine. The plant presents an interesting composition containing alkaloids, coumarins and volatile oil. The present work aims to study the antibacterial and the cytotoxic effects of the ethanol extract, its fractions, and the alkaloid extract from the cultivated Ruta chalepensis. Methods: Extracts were tested against five bacterial strains using the agar well diffusion method and the broth micro-dilution technique for the determination of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Brine shrimp assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity. Results: Chloroform fraction exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus, and B. subtilis with inhibition diameters of 25.5±0.7 and 18.5±2.12mm at 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml, respectively. Butanol and aqueous fractions were found to be inactive against all the tested strains. Ethyl acetate was the only active fraction against E. coli. Alkaloids showed a strong growth inhibition of B. subtilis and S. aureus at low concentrations (22.5±0.71 and 18.00±0,00mm, respectively at 20mg/ml). The cytotoxicity evaluation using the brine shrimp larvae indicated a high effect of alkaloids with an LC50 of 27.51μg/ml supporting their antibacterial activity. Conclusion: These findings suggest a possible use of Ruta chalepensis as a source of antibacterial and anti-proliferative agents.

The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition and to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial effects of the Moroccan Artemisia herba-alba Asso essential oil against foodborne pathogens. The essential oil of Artemisia herba-alba was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity was assessed against three bacterial strains isolated from foodstuff and three bacterial strains referenced by the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) using the disk diffusion assay and the macrodilution method. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl) method. The fourteen compounds of the Artemisia herba-alba essential oil were identified; the main components were identified as β-thujone, chrysanthenone, α-terpineol, α-thujone, α-pinene, and bornyl acetate. The results of the antibacterial activity obtained showed a sensitivity of the different strains to Artemisia herba-alba essential oil with an inhibition diameter of 8.50 to 17.00 mm. Concerning the MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations), the essential oil exhibited much higher antibacterial activity with MIC values of 2.5 μl/ml against Bacillus subtilis ATCC and Lactobacillus sp. The essential oil was found to be active by inhibiting free radicals with an IC50 (concentration of an inhibitor where the response is reduced by half) value of 2.9 μg/ml. These results indicate the possible use of the essential oil on food systems as an effective inhibitor of foodborne pathogens, as a natural antioxidant, and for potential pharmaceutical applications. However, further research is needed in order to determine the toxicity, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects in edible products.
