Nanoparticles induced antioxidative compounds in Matricaria chamomilla
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, the effects of different concentrations of silica nanoparticles (NPs) were studied on growth, membrane stability, and antioxidant properties of Matricaria chamomilla in vitro. The sterilized seeds were incubated in different concentrations of silica NPs (0, 2, 4, 6 g L-1) for one hour and then were cultured on Murashing and Skoog medium. Silica NPs application enhanced relative water content and fresh and dry weight of leaf and root. The highest growth was observed at 4 g L-1 silica NPs. Hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde significantly reduced at 4 g L-1 silica NPs. Total phenol and flavonoid contents increased by silica NPs treatment, and induction effect of silica NPs was more prominent at 6 g L-1 silica NPs. Low level of IC50 was detected at 6 g L-1 silica NPs. Overall, application of silica NPs at proper concentration can improve growth and induces the production of metabolites in M. chamomilla.

Matricaria chamomilla CH12 is a phytotherapeutic or homeopathic product, which has been used to reduce stress. Here, we examined its effect on preventing handling stress in bovines. Sixty Nelore calves were randomly distributed into two equal groups. One group was administered Matricaria chamomilla CH12 in diet and the other the 'control' was not. Animals in both groups were maintained unstress...

Chamomile, a well-known medicinal plant, is a rich source of bioactive compounds, among which two coumarin derivatives, umbelliferone and herniarin, are often found in its extracts. Chamomile extracts have found a different uses in cosmetic industry, as well as umbelliferone itself, which is, due to its strong absorption of UV light, usually added to sunscreens, while herniarin (7-methoxycoumar...
