Lavandula angustifolia is the most widely cultivated Lavandula species. The extraction of its flower and leaves has been used as herbal medicine. In this study, the in vitro antitumor activities were tested on human prostate cancer PC-3 and DU145 cell lines. Flow cytometry technology was applied to study apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest. The PC-3 cell line was used to establish subcuta...

The effect of brain area connectivity caused by an imbalance the glutamate neurotransmitter in brains patients experiencing anxiety is determined α2δ subunit calcium channel activity. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been investigated to have anxiolytic effects on vitro studies its modulation through GABA, NMDA, and serotonin receptors, especially amygdala hippocampus. However, molecular m...

Acetone extracts of selected plant species were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a noncancerous African green monkey kidney (Vero) cell line and an adenocarcinoma cervical cancer (HeLa) cell line. The plants studied were Origanum vulgare L. (Oregano), Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Upright and ground cove rosemary), Lavandula spica L. (Lavender), Laurus nobilis L. (Bay leaf), Thymu...

Qualitative and quantitative chemical composition, activity against bacteria, yeasts and moulds and antioxidant activity of two variants (HV400 and HV3200) of hydrolates from dried lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia) were determined. The main chemical compounds were linalool (39.2% HV400, 29.0% HV3200), α-terpineol (7.1% HV400, 12.7% HV3200), borneol (4.8% HV400, 9.3% HV3200) and terpinen...

This study investigated the in vitro anticancer activities of a total of 14 wild angiosperms collected in Saudi Arabia. The cytotoxic activity of each extract was assessed against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines by using the MTT assay. Among the plants screened, the potential cytotoxic activity exhibited by the extract of Lavandula dentata (Lamiaceae) was identified, and we analy...

We evaluate the sedative and hypnotic activities of the methanolic and aqueous extract of Lavandula officinalis L. on central nervous system (CNS). In this study, the effect of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of this plant was investigated in a battery of behavioural models in mice. Stems and flowers of Lavandula officinalis L. have several therapeutic applications in folk medicine in curin...
