Sesquiterpene lactones. XXIII. Isolation of sesquiterpene lactones from Centaurea L. species
Sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from 18 species or subspecies of the genus <em>Centaurea L.</em>: salonitenolide (I) was found in <em>C. crithmifolia Vis., C. friderici Vis., C, paniculata L., C. calcitrapa L., C. pontica </em>Prodan et E. L' Nyarady, <em>C. eriophora L., C. alba L. subsp.

Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

In silico investigation of lactone and thiolactone inhibitors in bacterial quorum sensing using molecular modeling [PDF]
In the present study, the origin of the anti-quorum sensing (QS) activities of several members of a recently synthesized and in vitro tested class of lactone and thiolactone based inhibitors were computationally investigated. Docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and binding free energy calculations were carried out to reveal the exact binding

The SciAgents AI model drives hypothesis generation by harnessing multi‐agent graph reasoning, extracting insights from knowledge graphs constructed from scientific papers. Each agent plays a specific role: the Ontologist defines concepts, the Scientists draft and refine proposals, and the Critic reviews.

ABSTRACT This study explores the phytochemical composition and biological potential of extracts from Achillea conferta leaves, specifically hydroethanolic extract (HE), total flavonoid extract (TFE), and glycoside flavonoid extract (GFE). Phytochemical screening of HE revealed significant concentrations of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins ...
