description: Since the ancient time, medicinal plants play a central role in the day-to-day life of humankind as crucial additive agents in foods, drinks and drugs and also as components in perfumes and cosmetics. The nutritional, pharmacological, biological and toxicological properties of the medicinal plants also have extensive applications. Globally, the majority of people nowadays rely on alternative and complementary medicines as safe sources for the treatment of various ailments obtained from natural sources. Plenty of plant and marine sources are available worldwide including the Sultanate of Oman with notable medicinal values. Hyoscyamus gallagheri (H. gallagheri), is one of the leafy plants grown in the desert areas of the Sultanate of Oman which belongs to the family of Solanaceae. Omanis have used the selected plant species traditionally to increase hair density, hair fall, dental pain, relieve snake bite, scorpion sting pain, motion sickness, asthma and cough. This plant is considered as a new species because still now there is no evidence on phytochemicals, pharmacological and toxicological studies available of the selected species. Previously, our group from Nizwa University has conducted two studies on the pharmacological and phytochemicals of the selected plant species and the results showed that the plant extracts contain different groups of phytochemicals, which possess notable biological activity. This present review is to summarize the updated scientific information available on the selected plant species grown in Oman. Therefore, the main objective of this current review is to compare and contrast the morphology, toxicity, pharmacological activity, phytochemicals, potential uses with other species belong to this family including the selected plant species of H. gallagheri. In conclusion, the raw plant materials, its crude extracts and isolated ingredients might be used as a novel therapeutic or herbal medicine to treat various ailments.

description: The search for a natural alternative against the resistance of bacterial strains pathogenic to antibiotics remains a necessity to prevent human diseases. In this work the identification of the chemical composition of essential oil by GC/ MS revealed the presence of three major compounds; Carvacrol (72.97%), r-Cymene (14.5%), and g- Terpinene (6.01%). The evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Origanum compactum and two synthetic antibiotics (Piperacillin (PRL), Ampicillin (AMP)) was carried out by diffusion techniques on agar and micro-Dilution on agar medium for the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration , against strains of clinical origin; Escherichia coli, salmonella sp, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, streptococcus sp, Staphylococcus aureus. The toxicity assessment was conducted in accordance with OECD Protocol 423 (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). The results showed a strong antibacterial effect of the volatile extract compared to the two antibiotics used. The essential oil is classified in category 5 GHS (harmonized classification system) with LD50 greater than 5000 mg/kg. These results suggest the use of this natural product in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria.

description: Extracts from aromatic and medicinal plants contain a variety of phenolic compounds as well as essential oils (EO's) which are believed to have antioxidant and microorganism inhibiting activities. Essential oils of leaves and fruits of Juniperus Phoenicea collected in the region of Midelt (Morocco) were obtained by the technique of hydrodistillation and analyzed by Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The yield of essential oil is variable depending on the part of the plant studied; it is 0.5% for leaves and 0.14% for fruits. The main compounds of the essential oil of the leaves are α- pinene, Caryophyllene and β- phellandrene while the EO of the fruits is largely dominated by α- pinene. These EOs have a marked antioxidant activity but remains lower than that of the decocted leaves and fruits of the same plant studied, this activity measured by the DPPH method. An antibacterial activity of these EOs was also demonstrated by the aromatogram method, with a strong inhibitory activity for the fruit EO compared to that of the leaves.

description: The current Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has reportedly posed a significant threat to the global public health institution systems. The treatment has been supportive and not effective. Coupled with the lack of vaccine interventions, the search for effective therapeutic alternatives is still on. Herbal supplements have been used in the treatment of viral diseases for years and could serve as an alternative for COVID-19 therapy if the combinations are known and tested. Recent studies have proved that certain herbal supplements have exhibited antiviral activity against similar coronaviruses. Besides, molecular docking studies further proved the efficacy of the antiviral activity of the herbal supplements against SARS-CoV-2. However, there is still a need for in-vitro and in-vivo studies of the antiviral activity of these herbal supplements against SARS-CoV-2. Nevertheless, these herbal supplements have a high therapeutic potential for COVID-19 therapy. This study reveals the chemical composition of herbal supplements to come up with findings that can redefine research and development, risk analysis, and containment of the novel coronavirus disease.

description: SARS-CoV-2 spreading its tentacles across the world as a major world pandemic. There is race to develop suitable drug and vaccine for this disease. Due to lack of drugs at present, various anti-HIV drugs have been repurposed. Due to its vital role in virus replication, Spike (S) protein has recently been regarded as a suitable target for drug design. With an urgent and key need for safe and effective drug to combat this disease, we have explored 12 bioactive compounds from eucalyptus oil against Spike (S) protein from SARS-CoV-2. SWISS-MODEL was used for homology modeling. Molecular docking studies were conducted by using Patchdock analysis. Protein Interactions Calculator was used for protein interactions. Pharmacokinetics and In-silico ADMET profile (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) was also studied. Docking score showed effective binding of all bioactive molecules especially Toruatone to COVID-19 S-protein. Interactions results indicated that, Spike (S) protein / Toruatone complexes forms hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions. In-silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) studies provided guidelines and mechanistic scope for identification of potent anti-COVID 19 drug. This study highlights the potential of existing bio-active components from essential oil from eucalyptus to act as anti-COVID-19 drugs.

description: We'd found an old Boche dug-out, and he knew,
 And gave us hell; for shell on frantic shell
 Lit full on top, but never quite burst through.
 Rain, guttering down in waterfalls of slime,
 Kept slush waist-high and rising hour by hour,
 And choked the steps too thick with clay to climb.
 What murk of air remained stank old, and sour
 With fumes from whizz-bangs, and the smell of men
 Who'd lived there years, and left their curse in the den,
 If not their corpses ...
 There we herded from the blast
 Of whizz-bangs; but one found our door at last, ---
 Buffeting eyes and breath, snuffing the candles,
 And thud! flump! thud! down the steep steps came thumping
 And sploshing in the flood, deluging muck,
 The sentry's body; then his rifle, handles
 Of old Boche bombs, and mud in ruck on ruck.
 We dredged it up, for dead, until he whined,
 'O sir---my eyes,---I'm blind,---I'm blind,---I'm blind.'
 Coaxing, I held a flame against his lids
 And said if he could see the least blurred light
 He was not blind; in time they'd get all right
 'I can't,' he sobbed. Eyeballs, huge-bulged like squids',
 Watch my dreams still,---yet I forgot him there
 In posting Next for duty, and sending a scout
 To beg a stretcher somewhere, and flound' ring about
 To other posts under the shrieking air.
 Those other wretches, how they bled and spewed,
 And one who would have drowned himself for good, ---
 I try not to remember these things now.
 Let Dread hark back for one word only: how,
 Half-listening to that sentry's moans and jumps,
 And the wild chattering of his shivered teeth,
 Renewed most horribly whenever crumps
 Pummelled the roof and slogged the air beneath, ---
 Through the dense din, I say, we heard him shout
 'I see your lights!'---But ours had long gone out.

description: Medicinal plants are considered an important source of phytochemical compounds that play a vital role to produce a definite physiological action for the treatment of several diseases. This study was aimed to investigate the phytoconstituents of Guiera senegalensis leaves and Quercus infectoria nutgalls extracts, and to study their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Ethanol extracts were subjected to sequential fractionation using petroleum ether, dichloromethane and acetone. Acetone fraction (as major) was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative GC-MS analysis. In vitro antioxidant activity and antibacterial sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus of acetone fraction were evaluated whereas; DPPH radical scavenging activity and disc diffusion methods were used, respectively. Results obtained from GC-MS analysis for G. senegalensis were showed the presence of eupafolin, pyrogallol, hydroquinone and catechol with percentages of 65.16%, 15.79%, 10.36% and 8.69%, respectively. While Q. infectoria GC-MS analysis was revealed the presence of pyrogallol as major phytoconstituent (94.77%). The antioxidant activity of the two extracts showed higher 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity (94%) at a concentration of 250 μg/ml compared to standard popylgallate. Both extracts at a concentration of 25 mg/ml were exhibited higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus compared to gentamicin. It could be concluded that G. senegalensis leaves and Q. infectoria nutgalls possess significant antioxidant and antibacterial principles for possible treatment of inflammations and bacterial infections especially those caused by S. aureus. Further experimental and clinical studies are warranted.

description: Resistance to commonly-prescribed antibiotics is a global public health problem. Unfortunately resistance has been reported even to newer, potent and expensive antimicrobial agents thus, it necessary to find alternative treatment, such as medicinal plants either alone or in combination with antibiotics due to their fewer reported side effects moreover, their possible affordability and availability. Green Tea (GT) has potential benefits in many aspects most notably in cardiovascular diseases, cancer and obesity. The present study designed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of GT aqueous and alcoholic extracts against standard strains of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Moreover, this study provides novel findings about the synergetic activity of GT alcoholic extract and Ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Two standard antimicrobial susceptibility procedures were used, well diffusion method and broth dilution technique. The clear inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of each extract was measured. The results obtained showed that the GT alcoholic extract had promising antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923 only whereas, the two tested strains were resistant to all concentrations of GT aqueous extract. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the GT alcoholic extract against S. aureus ATCC 25923 were 225 mg/ml and 250 mg/ml respectively. Moreover, sub-MIC (200mg/ml) of GT alcoholic extract increased the IZD of Ciprofloxacin against S. aureus ATCC 25923 by 62.5 % which confirmed the synergistic effect. Finally, further studies in the GT with other organic solvents are of paramount importance and highly recommended.

description: The burden of infectious diseases by bacteria and fungi had constituted a great concern to the entire human population. Calliandra portoricensis (Fabaceae) had been widely used over the years in ethnomedicine for the; treatment of various ailments such as swollen gum, tooth and throat inflammation often associated with microbial infections. At present, no active antimicrobial compound has been reported from this specie. The aim of this research was to identify, isolate and characterize the antimicrobial compounds from the root of C. portoricensis. The pulverized root sample (0.8 Kg) was extracted by successive cold maceration respectively for 72 hr. The most bioactive ethyl acetate extract (4.61 gm) was subjected to chromatographic column fractionation (Silica Gel G, 200-400 mesh-stationary phase). Gradient mixtures of n-hexane: ethyl acetate: methanol (4:0:0; 3:1:0; 2:2:0; 1:3:0; 0:1:0; 0:3:1; 0:2:2; 0:1:3; 0:0:4; – v/v/v) were used for elution. Agar well diffusion method was adopted for the bioassays susceptibility tests and MIC determinations. Clinically viable human pathogens for the tests were; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococus fecalis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Two major fractions (FA and FB) active against the test organisms were pooled the most active fraction FB on further purification by preparative TLC (Silica Gel G, 0.5 mm thickness), yielded bioactive pure commands C1 (9 mg) and C2 (8 mg). Both compounds exhibited MIC values of 125.00±0.70 µg per milliliter against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger These activities were found to be quite significant with respect to the reference controls (Ciprofloxacin and fluconazole) at P < 0.05. Characterization of C1 and C2 by spectroscopic analysis (UV, MS, FT – IR and NMR), identified two novel compounds as Cassane - type tricyclic diterpenoids. C1 (Molecular Mass: 340, C20 H36 O4) is (5,10- 8,9- 12,13)-seco- 4,4,10 – trimethyl, 7 – hydroxy, 14 – hydroxymethyl, 16 – keto, 13(15) – ene – cassane furanoditerpene and compound C2 (Molecular Mass: 418, C24 H34 O6) is (12,13)- seco- 12, 14 – epoxy, 12(16) -Oxo – 16(17), 13(15) – diene, 4, 10, 17 – trimethyl, 4, 7 – di – aceto cassanoate The Cassane - type diterpenoids have been reported for promising antimicrobial properties.

description: While many in academia around the U.S. may anchor themselves in cynical opposition to the proliferation of neoliberal discourse and the policies that accompany, I propose that language departments are in a uniquely privileged position within the humanities to assert the value of our programs within the neoliberal paradigm. Specifically, the current field of Iberian Studies offers a model for departments in the Humanities to transition away from traditional curriculum, develop multidisciplinary connections, and rethink their mission within the political, economic, cultural, and academic landscape of the university. If we understand the broader field of cultural studies as a space of convergence of various theoretical and methodological approaches including mobility studies, sustainability studies, gender studies, tourism studies and much more, then Iberian Studies is uniquely able tell the "story" of the Humanities and re-assert its value (perceived and real) to upper administration, colleagues, students, and the community. This purpose of this paper is to offer the multidisciplinary approaches that characterize the field of contemporary Iberian Studies as potential strategies of resistance in and of themselves that defend the broader discipline of the Humanities. I assert that the "story" of Iberian Studies underscores the Humanities as a space of convergence that is able to "go beyond" research for research's sake to empower students, impact the public good, and even convince higher education leadership of the discipline's value. However, it is up to us to defend the Humanities by telling that story.

description: In this study, three samples of oleo-gum resins of Boswellia papyrifera (Tarak tarak) grown in different regions of the Sudan were used (Kordofan, Damazine and Nagawa). Solvent extracts, acid fractions and essential oils of the three samples were evaluated for their cytotoxicity potential via the brine shrimp lethality assay. Results revealed a dose–dependent response in mortality, and where the degree of lethality was directly proportional to the concentration of the extracts. Among all tested materials, the best cytotoxic activity was exhibited by the methanolic extracts and acid fractions of the three samples, non acid fractions from Kordofan and Damazine olibanum as well as the petroleum extract of Damazine sample. All examined materials, excluding the volatile oils of Damazine and Nagawa samples, showed high cytotoxicity with LD50 values less than 20 μg /ml; thus can be used to predict anti-carcinogenic activity.

description: The medicinal uses of saffron (Crocus sativus Linnaeus) have a long history beginning in Asian countries since the Late Bronze Age. Recent studies have validated its potential to lower the risk of several diseases. Saffron has been suggested to be effective in the treatment of a wide range of disorders including coronary artery diseases, hypertension, stomach disorders, dysmenorrhea and learning and memory impairments. In addition, different studies have indicated that saffron has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, antidiabetic, antigenotoxic and cytotoxic activities. The anticonvulsant and anti-Alzheimer properties of saffron extract were shown in human and animal studies. The efficacy of Crocus sativus in the treatment of mild to moderate depression was also reported in clinical trial. Many of these medicinal properties of saffron can be attributed to a number of its compounds such as crocetin, crocins and other substances having strong antioxidant and radical scavenger properties against a variety of radical oxygen species and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

description: The antimicrobial activity of Vernonia amygdalina chloroform (CHCl3) and methanol (MeOH) leaves extracts were assayed against standard microorganisms. Two Gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), and one Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two fungi (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). The leaves were harvested from mother plants and atissue culture raised progeny growing at the experimental area of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and Traditional Medicine Research Institute. Discdiffusion method was used for determination of the inhibition zone as indicator of the antimicrobial activity. The extracts from V. amygdalina exhibited varying degrees of inhibition activity against the studied bacteria and fungi. The highest value of inhibition (30 mm) obtained was on Staphylococcus aureus using CHCl3 extract, while the lowest activity was found in the MeOH extract of the Mother plants on tested organisms, comparison with the same extract of progeny. B. subtilis and S. aureus were highly susceptible to theCHCl3 extracts of both mother plant and progeny, but P. aeruginosa was less sensitive to all different types of the studied extracts.Both types of extracts (CHCl3 and MeOH) of the leaves from mother plants showed low to moderate activity against both fungi (A. niger, C. albicans) compared to the extracts from progeny. From this study it appears that the leaves extracts from V. amygdalina, either frommother plants or progeny had a comparable antimicrobial efficiency, which gives opportunities to propagation and commercial production of this multipurpose plant in Sudan. This result also suggested that V. amygdalinamay have individual components that can be used as antibacterial and antifungal.

What is Identity? A Digital Anthology by Honors Students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Creators: name: A. Hutchins, Ph.D., Jessica
Publisher: name: Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Identity (Psychology)
subject: Popular culture--Study and teaching
subject: Digital humanities
subject: Group identity

description: This digital anthology was created by students in Honors 120: Questions and the Spirit of Inquiry, taught by Dr. Jessica A. Hutchins at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The course explores the question "What Is Identity?" through perspectives from the humanities, sciences, arts, and the students' own lived experience. Students worked through multiple steps to create this anthology. They classified different ways to answer the question "What Is Identity?" This included synthesizing topics from across the semester as well as important concepts that we may have missed, glossed over, or that merited further exploration. They then selected the most important or interesting concepts, which shaped the organization of our anthology: Culture, Relationships, Internal/External Perceptions, and Process. Students worked in groups to curate content to represents each concept, wrote analytic introductions to frame the curated texts, shared their ideas in oral presentations, identified connections between the groups, and finally built out this website as the culmination of the semester's work.

Subjects: antioxidant activity, Djebel Zaghouan, essential oils, fatty acids, Quercus ilex L.

description: Biochemical characterization, such as, fatty acids, essential oils composition, polyphenols content and antioxidant activities, were investigated from leaves, of Quercus ilex L.(Fagaceae), collected in DjabelZagouan (Tunisia). Only the fatty acid composition was determined by gas chromatography after transformation of the fatty acids into methyl ester derivatives compatible for injection in a Gas Chromatograph,and determined by gas chromatography (GC-FID). Essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation and, analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-FID). Total phenolic content, concentration of flavonoids and,in vitro, antioxidant activities were determined, using spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant activities was tested by the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), free radical scavenging assay. Results showed that total fatty acid content varied from 1.78 to 4.86%, based on dry weight (dw) and the predominants fatty acids were oleic acid (63.43–59.76%), linoleic acid (14.93–16.05%) and palmitic acid (9.16–12.13%). The oils contain, an appreciable, amount of unsaturated fatty acids (73.86–85.59%).This study showed that Holm oak leaves, are rich in an unusual fatty acid, the oleic one. The essential oil yield varied, from 0.01 to 0.04%. So the major components, in leaves oils from Quercus ilex L., were trans-2-hexanal (14.89–16.93%), viridiflorol (12.94–15.24%) and sabinene (6.84–9.65%).The total phenolic, content of the samples, varied, from 2.93 to 3.40 mg/g of dry weight, expressed as gallic acid equivalents. The total flavonoïd concentrations varied, from 1.83 to 2.72 mg/g, of dry weight quercetin equivalents. The extracts of the leaves were observed displaying strong DPPH free radical scavenging action, with IC 50value, ranged, from 102.66 to 134.83 µg/mL, comparing to the IC 50 value (48.31µg/mL), of reference standard. These results suggest that phenolics, in this species, provide substantial antioxidant activity and Quercus. Ilex L. may be a potential source of natural antioxidants.

description: The continued spread of 2019 novel coronavirus disease is a serious threat to global health. Currently, no approved vaccines or antiviral agents for treatment exist, but, there are many anecdotal accounts of the use of herbal concoctions for the management of this disease in many low-income settings, including Nigeria abound. Using a combination of a web-based survey, and face-to-face interviews with local herbal sellers, this study documents the herbal flora used in the management of COVID-19 in Southwestern Nigeria, and also probes their potential as inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The preliminary in-silico studies identified taraxerol, vernonioside D2, nimbolide and mangiferoleanone as potential hit candidates for COVID-19. The current findings highlight that nature can be a source for the discovery of medicinal agents active against COVID-19. These preliminary results necessitate further in-vitro and in-vivo experimental evidence.
