Anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects of nanoemulsion of essential oil.

Background And Objectives: This study aimed to develop a natural nanoemulsion with antibacterial and anticancer properties.

Materials And Methods: The chemical composition of the essential oil was investigated using GC-MS analysis. Besides, the successful loading of the essential oil in the nanoemulsion was confirmed using ATR-FTIR analysis.

Antioxidative, anticancer, and antibacterial activities of a nanogel containing Mentha spicata L. essential oil and electrospun nanofibers of polycaprolactone-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

Background: As the largest organ, the skin has been frequently affected by trauma, chemical materials, toxins, bacterial pathogens, and free radicals. Recently, many attempts have been made to develop natural nanogels that, besides hydrating the skin, could also be used as antioxidant or antibacterial agents.

Methods: In this study, the chemical composition of the Mentha spicata essential oil was first investigated using GC-MS analysis.
