TB is still one of the world's biggest killers. Immunosuppresion induced by AIDS caused a rise in the incidence of TB during the past decade. The search for new drugs to effectively treat TB remains one of the big challenges ...
Variation in the content of naphthoquinones in seeds and seedlings of Euclea natalensis

Bapela, Mahwahwatse Johanna; Lall, Namrita; Isaza-Martinez, J.H.; Regnier, Thierry J.C.; Meyer, Jacobus Johannes Marion (Elsevier, 2007-11)

A correlation between plant growth and accumulation of naphthoquinones (shinanolone (1), 7-methyljuglone (2) and diospyrin (3)) was investigated in seeds and seedlings of Euclea natalensis A.DC. In this study, the seeds ...
