Dr. Iman Tariq Ali and Dr. Hussein Nasser Khalaf have published their findings on a novel compound isolated from fig fruits in the British journal Cogent Food & Agriculture.
The study focused on (2-(benzhydrylsulfinyl)-N-sec-butylacetamide) and its effects on **RAW 264.7 macrophages** and **E. coli** growth. The research demonstrated a significant boost in phagocytic and antibacterial killing activities, with an Impact Factor of 2.7 and a CiteScore of 3.3, highlighting the paper's scientific relevance.
The findings indicate that this natural isolate possesses potent antibacterial properties and could serve as a valuable tool in biochemistry and medicine. By enhancing macrophage activation and stimulating lysosomal production, the compound offers a promising pathway for developing advanced immune-modulating therapies.
