Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is one of eight herpes viruses known to infect humans (and other vertebrates). Varicella-zoster virus is known by many names, including: chickenpox virus, varicella viru...

Liquorice-based nanotech material for sterilizing medical devices

A nanotech material containing an extract from liquorice can be used to sterilize and protect medical devices and implants which include biological components, and protects these functional bio-compon...

Liquorice offers clue to cleaner medical implants

A new coating utilizing nanotechnology will allow surgeons to sterilize medical devices that contain biological components. A nanotech material containing an extract from liquorice can be used to ster...

ROS-mediated vascular homeostatic control of root-to-shoot soil Na delivery in Arabidopsis

A newly discovered defence for plants against salt toxicity is that root reactive oxygen species generated by high soil salinity regulate root–shoot sodium transport, thereby preventing its toxic ac...

Metabolic profiling of roots of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) from different geographical areas by ESI/MS/MS and determination of major metabolites by LC-ESI/MS and LC-ESI/MS/MS.

Liquid chromatography electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS) has been applied to the full characterization of saponins and phenolics in hydroalcoholic extracts of roots of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza g...

Liquorice and glycyrrhetinic acid increase DHEA and deoxycorticosterone levels in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting adrenal SULT2A1 activity.

The mineralocorticoid effects of liquorice are mediated by the inhibitory effects of one of its active components glycyrrhetinic acid on 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2. However, liquorice is...

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) disrupting effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra extract in mice: A possible role of monoamines.

Liquorice extract was reported to have nootropic and/or antiamnestic effects. Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle response is a multimodal, cross-species phenomenon used as a measure of sensorimotor...

Spectrophotometric determination of penicillins in pure and pharmaceutical formulations using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent.

A new combination of time, temperature, and alkali is described for the spectrophotometric determination of amoxicillin and ampicillin using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The method is based on the develop...
