Chemical Characterization of the Essential Oil Compositions of and ssp. from the Mediterranean Basin and Multivariate Statistical Analyses.

This present study aims to characterize the essential oil compositions of the aerial parts of L. and endemic ssp. (Heinr.

A comprehensive assessment of the cholinergic-supporting and cognitive-enhancing effects of Rosa damascena Mill. (Damask rose) essential oil on scopolamine-induced amnestic rats.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by gradual loss of cognitive abilities (dementia) and is a major public health problem. Here, we aimed at investigating the effects of Rosa damascena essential oil (RDEO) on learning and memory functions in a rat model of amnesia induced by scopolamine, as well as on changes in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, M muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) expression, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the extracted brain tissues.

Methods: The control, amnesia (scopolamine, 1 mg/kg/i.

Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antifungal Effects of Calcium Hydroxide Mixed with Two Different Essential Oils.

Background: Calcium hydroxide is a routinely used material for root canal disinfection during root canal treatment. Natural products have great potential in terms of their antibacterial effects. This study aimed to establish an effective alternative intracanal medicament using and essential oils.

Switchable-hydrophilicity solvent liquid-liquid microextraction versus dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction prior to HPLC-UV for the determination and isolation of piperine from Piper nigrum L.

Switchable-hydrophilicity solvent liquid-liquid microextraction and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction were compared for the extraction of piperine from Piper nigrum L. prior to its analysis by using high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Under optimum conditions, limits of detection and quantitation were found as 0.

The effect of Colchicum pusillum in human colon cancer cells via Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Objective: Colchicum pusillum belongs to the family Colchicaceae that particularly rich in tropolonic alkaloids. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and in vitro anticancer activity of Colchicum pusillum ethanolic extract on Colo-320 primer and Colo-741 metastatic colon adenocarcinoma cell lines.

Materials And Methods: Colchicum pusillum was collected and extracted with ethanol.

Fatty acid composition and anticancer activity in colon carcinoma cell lines of Prunus dulcis seed oil.

Context: Almond oil is used in traditional and complementary therapies for its numerous health benefits due to high unsaturated fatty acids content.

Objectives: This study investigated the composition and in vitro anticancer activity of almond oil from Northern Cyprus and compared with almond oil from Turkey.

Materials And Methods: Almond oil from Northern Cyprus was obtained by supercritical CO extraction and analyzed by GC-MS.
