Pl.: 291 (1753) seeds and flowers. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH free radical scavenging and iron chelation assays. Antimicrobial evaluations assessed the efficacy of the extracts against diverse microorganisms. Cell viability assays were conducted on the dukes c colon cancer (SW480), while gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis facilitated the identification of bioactive compounds. The ethanol extract of <i>P. maritimum</i> seeds exhibited a total phenolic content of 296.89±14.53 mg GAE/g extract DW and a total flavonoid content of 361.03±20.18 mg QE/g extract DW. Conversely, the flower extract showed a total phenolic content of 95.03±7.22 mg GAE/g extract DW and a total flavonoid content of 272.12±16.42 mg QE/g extract DW. As a result, the ethanol extract of <i>P. maritimum</i> seeds contains higher phenolic and flavonoid contents than the flower extract. Antimicrobial evaluations demonstrated significant inhibitory effects of both seed and flower extracts, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 25 to >50 mg/mL. Notably, the seed extract showed greater activity against <i>E. coli</i> and <i>C. krusei</i>. GC-MS analysis identified 18 bioactive compounds in the seed extract and 16 in the flower extract, with crucial components including ethyl oleate and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Additionally, cell viability assays revealed that ethanol extracts from seeds and flowers significantly reduced SW480 cell viability, particularly at doses of 750 μg/mL and 250 μg/mL, respectively. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of <i>P. maritimum</i> in terms of its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties, highlighting its value as a natural source of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the molecular docking study emphasises strong binding interactions of key compounds, particularly ethyl oleate and hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester, with the human STARD10 protein.

This reaction is the sixth step of the shikimate pathway, which is a metabolic pathway used by microorganisms and plants for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids and folates but not in mammals. In the present study, the detailed reaction mechanism of EPSPS from Nicotiana tabacum (NtEPSPS) is revealed by quantum chemical calculations with the cluster approach. The reaction is proposed to involve the formation of a carbocation intermediate, the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate, the C-O bond cleavage and the re-formation of C=C bond. All four steps are concerted processes involving proton transfer events. The calculations suggest a step-wise mechanism for the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate by the proton transfer from the hydroxyl group of S3P to Asp331 and the nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl group on the carbocation, which is consistent with the proposal in literature. The energy profile for the entire reaction is presented, showing that C-O bond cleavage of the tetrahedral intermediate, releasing phosphate, is the rate-limiting step.
