The review of answer booklets for National University students for the first semester of the academic year 2025/2026 has been scheduled from Sunday, 22/2/2026, to Monday, 23/2/2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at Hall (1), below Lecture Hall (A), at Assiut National University.
Ardisia elliptica Thunb is endogenous to Southeast Asia and traditionally used for the treatment of bacterial and viral infections. Previous studies reported various pharmacological activities, including cytotoxic activity. The aim of this work was to identify phytoconstituents of the ethanolic extract of Ardisia elliptica aerial parts using extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR analysis and HR-MS. Additionally, computational techniques were utilized in drug discovery to explore the Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and quorum sensing (QS) inhibitory activity of the identified compounds via molecular docking studies. Twelve structurally diverse compounds were isolated and identified, including two undescribed phenolic C-glycosides (2 and 5). Furthermore, our in silico studies on the isolates identified the LSD1 and QS inhibitory potential against Chromobacterium violaceum strain. The study revealed that soulieana acid (4) possess a significantly high docking score to LSD1 (S −12 kcal mol−1), while the megastigmane (8) exhibited the best binding interactions to CviR QS protein (S ≈ −13 kcal mol−1). Taken together, these findings contribute to justifying the pharmacological and traditional use of the plant, demanding further studies on their suitability as candidates for the development of anticancer and antibacterial drugs.

Students who have submitted appeals are requested to promptly proceed to the Student Affairs Office to review their answer sheets.
During the period from Tuesday, 17/2/2026,
until Thursday, 19/2/2026.
