Different concentrations of asafoetida extract were added to the medium of Pleurotus ferulic and the effects of the extract on growth of P. ferulic mycelium and fruiting bodies was observed. As the amount of asafoetida extract additive was increased, the growth of Pleurotus mycelium was faster, the time formation of buds was shorter and that yield of fruiting bodies was stimulated. However, ove...

Farnesiferol C is one of the major compounds, isolated from Ferula asafoetida (a type of coumarins) and used for cancer treatment as a folk remedy. Treatment of many cancers depends on oxidative stress situation. In this study, we sought the hypothesis that oxidative stress induced by Farnesiferol C contribute to anticancer property and induce apoptosis in MCF-7, human breast cancer cell line. ...

The green synthesis method synthesized the bismuth oxide and lead-doped nanoparticles using Ferula Asafoetida leaves extract. showed greater degradation efficiency than undoped oxide. This was due to decreases in band gap energy between valence conduction of metal reduced chances electron-hole pair recombination with catalyst. were characterized by TGA, SEM, FT-IR, EDX, XRD, UV- visible Spectro...
