Antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities of Anthemis palestina essential oil

BACKGROUND Anthemis palestina (Asteraceae) extends across the Mediterranean region, southwest Asia and eastern Africa. Although traditionally used for several applications, in vitro investigation of biological functions associated with Anthemis palestina essential oil had never been reported. METHODS The air-dried flowers of Anthemis palestina were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield the ...

Screening of Flowers Essential Oil and Hexane Extract of Rheum ribes L. from Iran- Chemical Composition, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities

The hexane extract of the flowers of Rheum ribes L. which was collected from north-western Iran,was obtained by Soxhlet apparatus and the essential oil composition was obtained by hydro distillationand analyzed by using GC-GC/MS. The extract from the flowers was characterized by a high amountof unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) (66.0%) and some of long chain hydrocarbon compounds. The maincomponent...
