Although &lt;em&gt;Cakile maritima&lt;/em&gt; has a high antioxidant capacity, it is yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Solvent extracts prepared from &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; plant material were analysed for antioxidant capacity by the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Anti-proliferative activities against Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa cancer cells were determined by an MTS based cell proliferation assay. Toxicity was determined by the Artemia franciscana bioassay. The most potent anti-proliferative extract (hexane) was further investigated using non-targeted GC-MS headspace analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Good DPPH radical scavenging activity was calculated for all &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; extracts. The methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts had particularly strong antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 4.7 and 3.4 μg/mL respectively). Interestingly, the hexane extract which had the lowest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 13.6 μg/mL), was the most potent inhibitor or Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa carcinoma cell growth, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;’s of 12 and 126 μg/mL respectively. The ethyl acetate extract was also a potent inhibitor of proliferation (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 185 and 468 μg/mL against Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa, respectively). The methanolic extract (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 2261 and 2046 μg/mL against CaCo&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HeLa respectively) displayed only moderate anti-proliferative activity, demonstrating that antioxidant activity did not correspond with anti-proliferative activity. All of the extracts were determined to be nontoxic in the Artemia franciscana bioassay, with LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values substantially &amp;gt;1000 μg/mL. Non-biased GC-MS headspace analysis of the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; hexane extract highlighted several interesting compounds that may contribute to the therapeutic bioactivities of the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The lack of toxicity and the anti-proliferative activity of the hexane and ethyl acetate &lt;em&gt;C. maritima &lt;/em&gt; extracts against HeLa and Caco&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; cancer cell lines indicates their potential in the treatment and prevention of some cancers.&lt;/p&gt;

The berry extracts were more potent growth inhibitors than the corresponding leaf extracts, although the leaf extracts were also potent growth inhibitors. The berry aqueous, methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts were particularly potent growth inhibitors, with MIC values of 654, 65 and 329 &amp;mu;g/mL respectively. &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata &lt;/em&gt;leaf also displayed good efficacy, with an MIC of 839, 1255 and 625 &amp;mu;g/mL for the aqueous, methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts respectively.

The fruit has long been used by the first Australians as a nutritional food and as a medicine and recent studies have reported its potent growth inhibitory activity against a broad panel of bacteria. Despite this, &lt;em&gt;T. ferdinandiana&lt;/em&gt; extracts are yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the growth of &lt;em&gt;Bacillus anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Solvent extracts were prepared using both the fruit and leaf of Kakadu plum. The ability to inhibit the growth of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt; was investigated using a disc diffusion assay. Their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. The most potent extracts were investigated using non-targeted GC-MS head space analysis (with screening against a compound database) for the identification and characterisation of individual components in the crude plant extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Solvent extractions of &lt;em&gt;T. ferdinandiana&lt;/em&gt; fruit and leaf displayed good growth inhibitory activity in the disc diffusion assay against &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. Fruit ethyl acetate and methanolic leaf extracts were particularly potent growth inhibitors, with MIC values of 451 and 377&amp;mu;g/mL respectively. The fruit methanolic and chloroform extracts, as well as the aqueous leaf extracts also were good inhibitors of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt; growth, albeit with lower efficacy (MIC values of 1800 and 1414 &amp;mu;g/mL respectively).The aqueous fruit extract and leaf chloroform extracts had only low inhibitory activity. All other extracts were completely devoid of growth inhibitory activity. Furthermore, all of the extracts with growth inhibitory activity were nontoxic in the &lt;em&gt;Artemia fransiscana&lt;/em&gt; bioassay, with LC50 values &amp;gt;1000 &amp;mu;g/mL. Non-biased GC-MS phytochemical analysis of the most active extracts (fruit ethyl acetate and methanolic leaf) putatively identified and highlighted several compounds that may contribute to the ability of these extracts to inhibit the growth of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The low toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. ferdinandiana&lt;/em&gt; fruit ethyl acetate and methanolic leaf extracts, as well as their potent growth inhibitory bioactivity against &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;, indicates their potential as medicinal agents in the treatment and prevention of anthrax.&lt;/p&gt;

If untreated, it often results in mortality. Many &lt;em&gt;Terminalia &lt;/em&gt;spp. have documented therapeutic properties as general antiseptics, inhibiting the growth of a wide variety of bacterial species. This study examines the ability of selected Australian &lt;em&gt;Terminalia&lt;/em&gt; spp. extracts to inhibit &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis &lt;/em&gt;growth. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Solvent extracts were prepared from &lt;em&gt;Terminalia carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Terminalia grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;plant material and investigated by disc diffusion assay for the ability to inhibit the growth of an environmental strain of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. Their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. The most potent extracts were analysed by GC-MS headspace analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;leaf, fruit and nut solvent extractions displayed good growth inhibitory activity against &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. Methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf and &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; nut extracts were particularly potent growth inhibitors, with MIC values of 74 and 155 &amp;micro;g/mL respectively. The &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf ethyl acetate extract was also a good inhibitor of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt; growth (MIC 340 &amp;micro;g/mL). All other extracts were substantially less potent growth inhibitors. Interestingly, the&lt;em&gt; T.

In contrast, the LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value 740 &amp;micro;g/mL reported for the methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;nut extract indicates low-moderate toxicity. Non-biased GC-MS phytochemical analysis of the most active extracts (methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf and &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; nut) putatively identified and highlighted several compounds that may contribute to the ability of these extracts to inhibit the growth of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The growth inhibitory activity of the methanolic &lt;em&gt;T.

Furthermore, thelack toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf and the low-moderate toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;nut extract, indicates that their use may extend to all forms of the disease (cutaneous, inhalation or gastrointestinal).&lt;/p&gt;

Although &lt;em&gt;Cakile maritima&lt;/em&gt; has a high antioxidant capacity, it is yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the growth of the bacterial triggers of autoimmune inflammatory diseases. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; solvent extracts were analysed for antioxidant capacity by the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Growth inhibitory activities against bacterial species associated with initiating rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis were determined by disc diffusion assay and quantified by MIC determination. Toxicity was determined by &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; bioassay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; solvent extracts displayed good DPPH radical scavenging activity, although the ethyl acetate extract was particularly potent with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 3.4 &amp;mu;g/mL. The other extracts also had significant radical scavenging activity, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; between 4.7 and 13.6 &amp;mu;g/mL. The bacterial growth inhibitory activity of the extracts correlated with their free radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate extract displayed the most potent growth inhibitory activity against most bacterial species. This extract was particularly potent against&lt;em&gt; Proteus mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Proteus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (MIC values of 431, 559 and 777 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively). The hexane extract was also a potent inhibitor of the &lt;em&gt;Proteus&lt;/em&gt; spp., (MIC of approximately 500-800 &amp;mu;g/mL). The ethyl acetate extract also inhibited &lt;em&gt;Klebsiella pneumoniae&lt;/em&gt; growth, albeit with higher MIC&amp;rsquo;s (approximately 1500 &amp;mu;g/mL). All other &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; extract-bacteria combinations generally resulted in mid-low potency inhibition. All of the extracts were determined to be nontoxicin with the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana &lt;/em&gt;bioassay, with LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values substantially &amp;gt;1000 &amp;mu;g/mL. A total of 97 unique mass signals were detected in the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima&lt;/em&gt; ethyl acetate extract by nonbiased GC-MS headspace analysis. A number of terpenoids which may contribute to the therapeutic bioactivities of the extract were putatively identified.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The lack of toxicity and the inhibitory activity against microbial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis by the &lt;em&gt;C. maritima &lt;/em&gt;ethyl acetate extract indicates its potential in the treatment and prevention of these diseases.&lt;/p&gt;

Despite this, myrrh extracts are yet to be tested for the ability to inhibit the growth of the bacterial triggers of autoimmune inflammatory diseases. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Solvent extracts prepared from commercially obtained myrrh resin were analysed for the ability to inhibit the growth of bacterial species associated with initiating rheumatoid arthritis (&lt;em&gt;P. mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;), ankylosing spondylitis (&lt;em&gt;K. pneumoniae&lt;/em&gt;) and multiple sclerosis (&lt;em&gt;A. baylyi&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt;) by disc diffusion assay, and quantified by MIC determination. Toxicity was determined by &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana &lt;/em&gt;bioassay. The most potent inhibitory extract was investigated using non-targeted GC-MS head space analysis (with screening against a compound database) for the identification and characterization of individual components in the crude plant extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Methanolic myrrh extract inhibited the growth of all bacterial species tested. The growth inhibition of this extract was particularly notable against &lt;em&gt;P. mirabilis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;K. pneumoniae&lt;/em&gt;, with MIC values substantially &amp;lt; 1000 &amp;mu;g/mL for both reference and clinical bacterial strains. Indeed, the MIC values of the methanolic extract against &lt;em&gt;P. mirabilis &lt;/em&gt;reference and clinical strains were 572 and 463 &amp;mu;g/mL respectively. The methanolic extract also inhibited the growth of &lt;em&gt;A. baylyi &lt;/em&gt;(MIC approximately 3000 &amp;mu;g/mL) and &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa &lt;/em&gt;(MIC approximately 1800 &amp;mu;g/mL). However, the MICs against these bacteria was indicative of only moderate inhibitory activity. The aqueous, ethyl acetate, chloroform and hexane extracts also inhibited the growth of all bacterial species, albeit with moderate (MIC values 1000-5000 &amp;mu;g/mL) to low efficacy (MIC values &amp;gt;5000 &amp;mu;g/mL) against all bacterial species. All myrrh extracts were non-toxicin the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana &lt;/em&gt;bioassay, with LC50 values substantially above 1000 &amp;mu;g/mL. Non-biased GC-MS headspace&amp;nbsp;analysis of the methanolic extracti dentified a high diversity of monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoid. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The lack of toxicity and the inhibitory activity of the methanolic myrrh extract against microbial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis indicates its potential in the treatment and prevention of these diseases.&lt;/p&gt;
