Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Aug 1. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-22111-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is suitable for growing in heavy metal-polluted soil for non-food purposes and can be used as a potential crop to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. The main objective of this study was to investigate kenaf phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd), including uptake, translocation, and accumulation differences in tissues among kenaf cultivars.

Application of green synthesised copper iodide particles on cotton fabric-protective face mask material against COVID-19 pandemic
J Mater Res Technol. 2021 Nov-Dec;15:2102-2116. doi: 10.1016/j.jmrt.2021.09.020. Epub 2021 Sep 14.ABSTRACTMicroorganisms cause variety of diseases that constitutes a severe threat to mankind. Due to the upsurge of many infectious diseases, there is a high requirement and demand for the development of safety products finished with antimicrobial properties. The study involves the antimicrobial activity of natural cotton coated with copper iodide capped with Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. flower extract (CuI-FE) which is rich in anthocyanin, cyanidin-3-sophoroside by ultrasonication method. The coated and uncoated cotton fabric wa...

589 Harvest time of hibiscus flower extract affects collagen boosting activity in skin cells emphasizing the importance of plant/flower harvest time to build potent extracts
Nature and plants create and produce many bioactive molecules. When considering plants such as flower extracts as a source of potent molecules, many studies attempted to optimize the extraction processes. However, very little of this work considers the importance of timing and determining when flowers are at their most potent peak and the best time to harvest them in order to get the highest yield of potent molecules for skin benefits. With limited resources and time, plants have adapted to optimize their survival by producing specific molecules. (Source: Journal of Investigative Dermatology)

Exposure ‐response relationships of etrolizumab in patients with moderately‐to‐severely active ulcerative colitis
AbstractEtrolizumab is an IgG1-humanized monoclonal anti- β7 integrin antibody. Phase III trials with induction and/or maintenance phases were conducted in patients with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who were either previously treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (HICKORY) or were TNF inhibitor naïve (HIBISCUS I/II, LAUREL, and GARDENIA). A total of eight exposure-response analyses were conducted for two clinical outcomes (remission and endoscopic improvement) at the end of induction for studies HIBISCUS I/II (combined) and HICKORY and at the end of maintenance for studies HICKORY a...

Cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid dimeric diastereomers hibisceusones A-C from infected stems of Hibiscus tiliaceus with cytotoxic activity against triple-negative breast cancer cells
Bioorg Chem. 2022 Jun 23;127:105982. doi: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2022.105982. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid dimeric diastereomers (1-3) named hibisceusones A-C were obtained from the infected stems of Hibiscus tiliaceus. The structures were determined by NMR spectroscopy and MS techniques, and the absolute configurations were assigned by ECD and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Compounds 1-3 are diastereomers, and contain a 1,4-dioxane ring linearly fused to different cadinane-type polycyclic skeletons. This is the first time that such a structure has been identified in natural...

Calotropis procera (L.) mediated synthesis of AgNPs and their application to control leaf spot of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (L.)
In this study, in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity of AgNPs was investigated. In vitro antifungal activity analysis revealed the highest growth inhibition of mycelia (87%) at 1.0 mg/ml concentration of AgNPs. The same concentration of AgNPs tremendously inhibited the spread of disease on infected leaves of H. rosa-sinensis. These results demonstrated significant disease control ability of AgNPs and suggested their use on different ornamental plants.PMID:35674603 | DOI:10.1590/1519-6984.261123 (Source: Braz J Biol)
