Multidrug Pump Inhibitors Uncover Remarkable Activity of Plant Antimicrobials
ABSTRACT Plant antimicrobials are not used as systemic antibiotics at present. The main reason for this is their low level of activity, especially against gram-negative bacteria. The reported MIC is… Expand

Synergy in a medicinal plant: antimicrobial action of berberine potentiated by 5'-methoxyhydnocarpin, a multidrug pump inhibitor.
Multidrug resistance pumps (MDRs) protect microbial cells from both synthetic and natural antimicrobials. Amphipathic cations are preferred substrates of MDRs. Berberine alkaloids, which are cationic… Expand

Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of an Enzyme Responsible for the Formation of Hypericin in St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.)*
A major gene termed Hyp-1 encoding for hypericin (HyH) biosynthesis was cloned and characterized from Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) cell cultures. H. perforatum leaves are widely used as an… Expand

Enantiomeric-Dependent Phytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activity of (±)-Catechin. A Rhizosecreted Racemic Mixture from Spotted Knapweed1
In this communication, we unravel part of the mystery surrounding the allelopathic capability of the noxious weed spotted knapweed ( Centaurea maculosa ). We have found that (−)-catechin is a… Expand

Biogeographical variation in community response to root allelochemistry: novel weapons and exotic invasion
Centaurea diffusa is one of the most destructive invasive weeds in the western USA and allelopathy appears to contribute to its invasiveness (Callaway & Aschehoug 2000). Here we identify a chemical… Expand

Isoflavones as potentiators of antibacterial activity.
Isoflavones isolated from Lupinus argenteus were found to potentiate the antibacterial activity of alpha-linolenic acid, also found in the same plant. The isoflavones also potentiated the activity of… Expand
