Evaluation of the interaction between Menthol and Camphor, Major Compounds of Clinopodium nepeta Essential Oil: Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anticancer Activities against Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of camphor, menthol and their equimolar combination. In silico toxicity analysis confirmed the absence of toxic effects for both compounds. Antioxidant activity, assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, revealed a synergistic effect of the equimolar combination with IC50 values of 10.

Health risks associated with potentially toxic elements in three fish species from Betoya Bay, Morocco: An integrated approach to human health risk assessment.

This study examines the concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg) and zinc (Zn) in three fish species (Sardina pilchardus, Engraulis encrasicolus, Trachurus trachurus) from Betoya Bay, collected in winter and summer. Significant variations were observed between tissues (p < 0.05), with the liver being the most contaminated.

Formulation of a Three-Component Essential Oil Mixture from , , and for Improved Antioxidant Activity.

The optimization of existing natural antioxidants that are highly effective is crucial for advancements in medicine and the food industry. Due to growing concerns regarding the safety of synthetic antioxidants, researchers are increasingly focusing on natural sources, particularly essential oils (EOs). Combining EOs might enhance antioxidant activity due to increased chemical diversity.

Evaluation of the Interaction between Carvacrol and Thymol, Major Compounds of Essential Oil: Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory and Anticancer Activities against Breast Cancer Lines.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties of thymol, carvacrol, and their equimolar mixture. Antioxidant activities were assessed using the DPPH, ABTS, and ORAC methods. The thymol/carvacrol mixture exhibited significant synergism, surpassing the individual compounds and ascorbic acid in DPPH (IC = 43.

Phytochemical characterization and multifaceted bioactivity assessment of essential oil from Duby: Anti-diabetic, anti-tyrosinase, and anti-inflammatory activity.

The aim of this study is to explore the pharmacological properties of the essential oil derived from Duby (PVEO), a medicinal plant native to Morocco, focusing on its antidiabetic, anti-tyrosinase, and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, the study aims to characterize the phytochemical composition of PVEO and evaluate its potential as a natural therapeutic alternative for various health conditions. To achieve this, phytochemical analysis was conducted using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Exploring the multifaceted bioactivities of essential oil: promising pharmacological activities.

This study investigates the biological activities of essential oil (LPEO), an endemic lavender species from the Canary Islands, traditionally used in treating various ailments. LPEO was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC-MS. Antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH radical scavenging and total antioxidant capacity assays.

Screening of Phytochemical, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Properties of from Northeastern Morocco.
