Induction of napthoquinone and flavonoid production in Dionaea muscipula and Drosera capensis
PublicationMetabolity (naftochinony: plumbagina i ramantaceon, flawonoidy: mirecytyna i kwercetyna) z roślin Droseraceae: Dionaea muscipula i Drosera capensis są używane jako leki przeciwnowotworowe i przeciwkurczowe. Przedstawiono zdolności indukowania produkcji tych metabolitów, przez odpowiednie warunki elicytacji w hodowli in vitro.

Synergistic action of extracts from carnivorous plants and synthetic peptides against plant pathoghenic bacteria
Publicationw pracy przedstawiono rezultaty badań nad sprawdzeniem aktywności przeciwbakteryjnej ekstraktów z roślin Drosera capensis i Dionaea muscipula w połączeniu z dwoma syntetycznymi peptydami: CAMEL oraz pexiganan. Najwyższą aktywnością przeciwbakteryjną odznaczał się chloroformowy ekstrakt z D. muscipula z peptydem CAMEL.

Carnivorous plants used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
PublicationIn this study, we exploit the anti-oxidative potential of four carnivorous plants to produce uniform and biologically active silver nanoparticles. The use of polyvinylpyrrolidone promoted syn-thesis of quasi-spherical nanoparticles characterized by stability and high uniformity. Their activity was tested against three human pathogens and three species of plant pathogenic bacteria. The study demonstrates the influence of synthesis...

Optimal conditions of naphthoquinones separation from carnivorous plants extracts using thin-layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography
PublicationDroseraceae plants are owned by the family of carnivorous plants, which in an unusual way adapt to environments poor in nutrients. Droseraceae obtain essential nutrients catching insects and other small invertebrantes. Plumbagin, chloroplumbagin, ramentaceon and droseron are naphthoquinones, which could be found in leaves and shoots of plants from Droseraceae family. In the literature there are a lot of information about the pharmacological...

Potential of Silver Nanoparticles in Overcoming the Intrinsic Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Secondary Metabolites from Carnivorous Plants
PublicationCarnivorous plants are exemplary natural sources of secondary metabolites with biological activity. However, the therapeutic antimicrobial potential of these compounds is limited due to intrinsic resistance of selected bacterial pathogens, among which Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents an extreme example. The objective of the study was to overcome the intrinsic resistance of P. aeruginosa by combining silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)...
