the lamiaceae family consists of a broad spectrum of medicinal plants involving marrubium l. genus. regarding the diverse pharmaceutical uses of the plants belonging to this genus, they can be considered as proper alternatives for chemical drugs having harmful effects. the present work aims to identify and characterize chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles from the aerial pa...

Background & Aim:Nepeta racemosa is an herbal and medicinal plant and this report aims to   identify chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles of its   aerial parts through classical and advanced methods.  Experimental: Chemical profiles of the essential oils and volatile compounds from the aerial parts of Nepeta racemosa obtai...

The orange tree (Citrus sinensis) is a species of fruit shrubs the Rutaceae family. Essential oils from citrus peels are widely used in various agro-food and pharmaceutical preparations hence they must be recovered using green extraction methods. In this study, we compare efficiency five techniques (conventional hydro-distillation (HD), Salt-assisted by HD (S-HD), Ultrasound-assisted (US-HD), E...

Durio zibethinus L. (durian) belongs to the Malvaceae family. It is known as “King of Tropical Fruit” because its unique characteristics. The edible part durian, however, only about 33% fruit while non-edible parts such seed and peels (rinds) are considered waste responsible for environmental pollution. Thus, present study was carried out compare percentage yields volatile components from metha...

'Mato Peiyu' pomelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck 'Mato Peiyu') leaves from pruning are currently an agricultural waste. The aim of this study was to isolate essential oils from these leaves through steam distillation (SD) and solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and to evaluate their applicability to skin care by analyzing their antimicrobial, antioxidant (diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavengin...

Serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cells are a neural stem cell line that is dependent upon epidermal growth factor (EGF) for survival. Removal of EGF results in the G1 arrest and apoptosis of SFME cells. We have shown that the expression of simian virus 40 large T antigen in SFME cells blocks apoptosis and allows cell survival and division in the absence of EGF. Therefore the presence of T antigen...

Abstract Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica L.), known as pegagan is a plant with many benefits, including used to repair burns, hypertrophic wound healing, and an inflammatory agent. C. grows in tropical Asia various countries such Indonesia, Philippines, China, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar. has four bioactive components, namely asiatic acid, asiaticoside, madecassic madecassoside. Microwave-Assiste...

Serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cells, derived in medium in which serum is replaced with growth factors and other supplements, display distinctive properties: (i) SFME cells do not lose proliferative potential or show gross chromosomal aberration upon extended culture, (ii) these cells depend on epidermal growth factor for survival; and (iii) SFME cell proliferation is reversibly inhibited by se...
