this study was designed to examine bioactive compounds of the thyme-enriched corn oil and to determine the antioxidant activity of its methanolic extract. volatile compounds composition was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms), whereas phenolic compounds analysis was performed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc). antioxidant activities of t...

This study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of Teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. The GC and GC–MS analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. The major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate inhibition and anti-cancer effects of linoleic acid on the mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. materials and methods: cell lines human breast cancer mcf-7 (gdc055) and mda-mb-231 (htb-26) cell lines were obtained from atcc. mcf-7 estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line and  the estrogen receptor negative huma...

We evaluated the antioxidant properties of four main flavones from Scutellaria baicalensis: baicalein, wogonin and their glucuronides - baicalin and wogonoside. We used three in vitro assays: free radical scavenging with 2,2'-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical, transition metal ions reducing power by phosphomolybdenum assay and inhibition of the hydroxyl radical-induced peroxidation of linoleic aci...

The essential oils of three wild-growing Thymus species, collected from west of Iran during the flowering stage, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Under the optimum extraction and analysis conditions, 44, 38, and 38 constituents (mainly monoterpenes compounds) were identified in T. kotschyanus Boiss. and ...

Jujube is a fruit rich in antioxidant compounds and vitamin C. In this way, it can prevent cell damage by fighting free radicals. the study, activities, total phenolic flavonoid compound amounts of methanolic extracts jujube fruits were determined. addition, their biochemical compositions determined using HPLC. Also, an silico prediction study identified active ingredients was performed to eval...

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms calls for inventive research and development strategies. Inhibition of these pathogenic micro-organisms may be a promising therapeutic approach. The screening of antimicrobial compounds from endophytes is a promising way to meet the increasing threat of drug-resistant strains of human and plant pathogens. In the present study, a total of 20 ...

The present study was designed to examine the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Bunium incrassatum extracts prepared in five different solvents with increasing polarities. RP-HPLC analysis resulted identification 12 phenolic compounds, including 8 acids (caffeic acid, ellagic ferulic gallic rosmarinic sinapic syringic vanillic acid) 4 flavonoids (catechin, hesperetin, luteolin, q...

In the present study, a highly sensitive and simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of three unsaturated fatty acids, αlinolenic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid in walnut oil. Unsaturated fatty acids were quantified through HPLC using a reversephase C8 column and UV detector. Besides, the antioxidant activity of walnut...

In order to continue our previous studies on some Viola species from Romania, we have analysed for the first time some active principles from aerial parts of V. declinata Waldst. et Kit. We have performed gravimetric methods for saponins and mucilages, and spectrophotometric determinations and HPLC analysis of carotenoids. We established the content in saponins (4.40%), mucilages (10.26%), and ...
