The biblical balm of Gilead (Commiphora gileadensis) was investigated in this study for anticancerous activity against tumor cell lines. The results obtained from ethanol-based extracts and from essential oils indicated that β-caryophyllene (trans-(1R,9S)-8-methylene-4,11,11-trimethylbicyclo[7.2.0]undec-4-ene) is a key component in essential oils extracted from the balm of Gilead. β-Caryophylle...

This research highlights the chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities of essential oils from leaves of Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum americanum, Hyptis spicigera, Lippia multiflora, Ageratum conyzoides, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Zingiber officinale. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ioniz...

background: the genus lagochilus, family lamiaceae consists of 44 species, 33 of which grow in central asia. only one report on the analysis of essential oil of lagochilus species has been published. objective: aim of this study is to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of the hydrodistilled oil of flower and leaves of lagochilus kotschyanus boiss. of iranian origin ...

This study is part of a project devoted to determining the scent all orchid species present in Basilicata. All analyses were performed by using solid-phase microextraction technique coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The eight belonging Orchis genus was investigated. In case O. anthropophora, caryophyllene, tetradecanal and hexadecanal main components aroma; purpurea, 3,5-dimeth...

Nitrooxy organosulfates derived from terpenes (NOSTP) represent an important class of products formed between anthropogenic pollution (e.g., SO2 and NOx) natural emissions. NOSTP compounds have been consistently detected in atmospheric environments under varying urban influences. Their chemical linkages to both anthroposphere biosphere make them valuable markers for tracking anthroposphere–bios...

Marrubium cuneatum Banks & Sol. is a perennial plant belonging to the Iran-Turan phytogeographical region, which distributed in limited region Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, Iraq and Iran). The chemical composition of essential oil (Lamiaceae) from Turkey was characterized. Hydro-distilled analysed simultaneously by gas chromatography (GC) chromatography-mass spectromet...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) establishes long-term infections associated with severe gastric diseases such as peptic ulceration and cancer. Exposure to an antibacterial agent can help regulate the expression levels of its pathogenic genes. In this study, we analyzed transcriptional changes in H. genes induced by β-caryophyllene. We used next-generation sequencing (NGS) analyze RNA changes, r...
