Production of carcinogenic acetaldehyde by Candida albicans from patients with potentially malignant oral mucosal disorders

All Candida albicans isolates produced potentially carcinogenic levels of acetaldehyde (>100 μM) in all incubations containing ethanol. The control group isolates produced the highest acetaldehyde levels. Isolates from smokers produced more acetaldehyde in all incubations than those from non-smokers. The difference was significant in ethanol-glucose incubation. Isolates from patients who were both smokers and drinkers produced the highest amounts when incubated in ethanol, ethanol-glucose and wine.

Advances in Discoveries of Plant Phytochemicals

Plants are leading chemists that collectively synthesize a vast number of low molecular weight complex compounds called “phytochemicals” or “phytonutrients” which are the valuable source of bioactive compounds that have numerous health benefits and pharmaceutical and industrial uses. Moreover, they have been shown to possess diverse biological activities, for instance, antiviral, antiproliferative, antioxidant, larvicidal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, analgesic, antifungal, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory as well as central nervous system depressant.

Phytochemicals are classified into two separate classes; primary metabolites that are involved directly in growth and basic cell metabolism, and specialized (i.e. secondary) metabolites considered as end products of primary metabolism that involved in metabolic activities, defense against herbivores, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, plant virus infections and response to environmental stresses. Plants are rich source of bioactive phytochemicals such as, flavonoids, phenolic acids, vitamins, carotenoids, essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, glycosides, functional lipids, folates, isothiocyanates, and anthocyanins. In addition, several agricultural plants have been recognized as a promising biomass for bio-economy development, with a number of advantages over conventional crops. Over the past decades the use of phytochemicals derived from plants have positive beneficial effects on human health that play an important role in prevention of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and obesity. However, a significant number of phytochemicals have been identified form the plants but, the biological functions of many phytochemicals remain unknown, and the suggested functions lack underlying molecular mechanism.
