In vitrodegradation of the polyphosphates obtained and the release of antineoplastic drugMethotrexate (MTX) and contraceptive Levonorgestrel (LNG ) by nsing thesepolymers as matrix were studied. Zero order release rate was rkserved in the case ofLNG release.展开更多

However, the potential of endophytes within these bio-prospective medicinal plants remains unknown. The present study elucidates the endophytic diversity of medicinal plants(Caralluma acutangula, Rhazya stricta, and Moringa peregrina) and the endophyte role in seed growth and oxidative stress. Various organs of medicinal plants yielded ten endophytes, which were identified as Phoma sp.(6 isolates), Alternaria sp.(2), Bipolaris sp.(1), and Cladosporium sp.(1) based on 18 S rD NA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The culture filtrates(CFs; 25%, 50%, and 100% concentrations) from these endophytes were tested against the growth of normal and dwarf mutant rice lines. Endophytic CF exhibited dose-dependent growth stimulation and suppression effects. CF(100%) of Phoma sp. significantly increased rice seed germination and growth compared to controls and other endophytes. This growth-promoting effect was due to the presence of indole acetic acid in endophytic CF. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS) analysis showed the highest indole acetic acid content((54.31±0.21) μmol/L) in Bipolaris sp. In addition, the isolate of Bipolaris sp. exhibited significantly higher radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activity than the other isolates. Bipolaris sp. and Phoma sp. also exhibited significantly higher flavonoid and phenolic contents. The medicinal plants exhibited the presence of bio-prospective endophytic strains, which could be used for the improvement of crop growth and the mitigation of oxidative stresses.展开更多
