Abstract Background The volatile fraction of frankincense ( Boswellia sacra ) oleogum was extracted, formulated in nanoemulsion and tested against lung cancer A549 cell line. First, the gum hydro-distilled to isolate (essential oil), which analyzed via gas chromatography identify its major constituents. Then, oil two water-based nanoemulsions differ from one another presence propylene glycol (P...

The anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of wild-sage (Lantana camara) leaves essential oil were evaluated against various human cell lines. In this regard, steam hydro-distillation technique was used for extraction. Chemical characterization L. camara (LCEO) done by GC-MS, forty one chemical components (98.69%) detected in LCEO. major constituents caryophyllene oxide (19.63%), (6.68%), ...

ferulago angulata (apiaceae), a medicinal plant of western asia, contains essential oils that areused as a food preservative. this study examined and compared the composition of leaf oil with seed oil andof the oils from two different habitats (one from nevakov and the other from shahoo). the oil yield from seedwas 5-fold that from leaves (3.2%/100g compared to 0.63%/100g). cis-ocimene was the ...

ABSTRACT: Varronia curassavica is a medicinal species native to Brazil; its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed α-humulene and β-caryophyllene. This study investigated the population variability of V. curassavica. Leaves were collected from 40 individuals natural transferred glass flasks (2 mL). The volatiles extracted analyzed using static headspace gas chromatography coupled with mass...

A comprehensive suite of vertically-resolved volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements were conducted at the Bolder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) in Erie, Colorado from 18 February to 13 March 2011 as part of the Nitrogen, Aerosol Composition, and Halogens on a tall tower (NACHTT) campaign. The main purpose of this experiment was to investigate and quantify the contribution of monoterpene ox...
