Physicochemical characteristics and antiproliferative and antioxidant activitie...

Zantaz honey is a monofloral variety produced from the melliferous plant Bupleurum spinosum (Apiaceae), a shrub that grows mainly in the Atlas Moroccan Mountains. Determination of the polyphenol composition revealed that methyl syringate accounts for more than 50% of total polyphenols, which represents a very useful parameter for the characterization of this monofloral honey. Epicatechin, syringic acid and cate...

Facile control of surfactant lamellar phase transition and adsorption behavior

This study sets out to investigate the effect of the presence of small water-soluble additives on the tunability of the surfactant gel-to-liquid crystalline (Lb–La) phase transition temperature (Tm) for a bilayer-forming cationic surfactant and the phase behavior of such surfactant systems on dilution. This is strongly driven by the fact that this type of cationic surfactant has many interesting unanswered scie...

Magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with propolis against methicillin resist...

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have been evaluated for inhibiting microbial growth and biofilm formation. In this study the effect of the nanocomposite Moroccan propolis extract / MNPs acting against methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was evaluated. Chemical composition of propolis was established by pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry method (pyrolysis GC/MS...

Efeito de diferentes misturas de substratos orgânicos na biomassa e no óleo ess...

Neste ensaio avaliou-se o efeito de diferentes misturas de substrato comercial e vermicomposto na produção de biomassa, composição química e rendimento dos óleos essenciais de Thymus zygis. Utilizaram-se 5 substratos resultantes da mistura de um vermicomposto (V) com um substrato orgânico comercial (O), em cinco proporções diferentes (v/v): V100 (100%V); VO75-25 (75%V+25%O); VO50 -50 (50%V+50%O); VO 25-75 (25%V...

Magnetite nanoparticles functionalized propolis extract as nano-antibiotics aga...

Due to their ability to penetrate planktonic and biofilm organized bacteria , nano-antimicrobial agents have been perceived, in recent years, in almost every domain of life especially in health care for the control of infectious diseases. Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have been evaluated for inhibiting microbial growth and biofilm formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Moroccan propolis ...

PVA−DNA Cryogel Membranes: Characterization, Swelling, and Transport Studies

Double-stranded (ds) DNA from salmon testes has been incorporated into PVA hydrogels obtained by a technique of repeated freezing and thawing. The cryogels obtained are free of potential toxic species like chemical cross-linkers, and consequently, they can be used in pharmaceutical or medical applications. These cryogels show a good mechanical resistance and a white and opaque appearance caused by a heterogeneo...

Polymer-vesicle association

Mixed polymer-surfactant systems have been intensively investigated in the last two decades, with the main focus on surfactant micelles as the surfactant aggregate in interaction. The main types of phase behavior, driving forces and structural/rheological effects at stake are now fairly well understood. Polymer-vesicle systems, on the other hand, have received comparatively less attention from a physico-chemica...

Effect of the Head-Group Geometry of Amino Acid-Based Cationic Surfactants on I...

The interaction between DNA and different types of amino acid-based cationic surfactants was investigated. Particular attention was directed to determine the extent of influence of surfactant head-group geometry toward tuning the interaction behavior of these surfactants with DNA. An overview is obtained by gel retardation assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichrois...
