    Essential oils are volatile components associated with the aromas of seeds, bark, or roots of plants. In this experiment, the essential oil eugenol was isolated from ground cloves using steam distillation techniques. Eugenol had a high boiling point, but it was isolated at a lower temperature by performing a co-distillation with water, a process known as steam distillation. This technique allowed the desired material to be distilled at a lower temperature than 100℃. The point of the steam distillation was to use an azeotrope to isolate the organic compound from a solid. The azeotrope was the liquid mixture with a constant boiling point. After obtaining pure eugenol, the percent recovery was calculated and an IR spectroscopy was performed.…

    Antifungal Agents

    Amphotericin B (AMB) and nystatin are the currently available polyenes, although differing safety profiles have limited nystatin to topical use.1 The polyenes bind to ergosterol present within the fungal cell wall membrane. This process disrupts cell wall permeability by forming oligodendromes functioning as pores with the subsequent efflux of potassium and intracellular molecules causing fungal death.2 There is also evidence that AMB acts as a proinflammatory agent and further serves to stimulate innate host immunity. This process involves the interaction of AMB with toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2), the CD14 receptor, and by stimulating the release of cytokines, chemokines, and other immunologic mediators. It has been suggested that AMB may interact with host humoral immunity after the observation of synergistic activity of AMB and antibodies directed at heat shock protein 90 (hsp90), although further confirmatory data are needed.2…
