This study evaluated the biological activities of Tithonia diversifolia extracts using radical-based methods and an in vitro egg hatching assay (EHA) to assess their effects on gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants. The methodology and key findings are described, highlighting the potential of these extracts for controlling parasites.

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Anthelmintic Properties of Tithonia diversifolia Extracts Against Gastrointestinal Nematode Eggs Using In Vitro Assays

Parasitic diseases caused by gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) are considered important limiting factors for livestock production worldwide, as they ...

Thiophenesulfonamide compounds are potent and specific inhibitors of Vibrio quorum sensing regulators LuxR/HapR that block their activity in vivo, thus preventing transcription of genes for virulence, motility, and biofilms. This protocol details how these compounds are synthesized, modeled in silico, and assayed in vivo for activity against LuxR/HapR.
