Chemical Characterization, DNA-Damage Protection, Antiproliferative Activity and in Silico Studies of the Essential Oils from Perralderia coronopifolia Coss.

In this study, for the first time, we analyzed the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) steam-distilled from the flowers and leaves of Perralderia coronopifolia by GC-FID/MS. The objective was to explore new anticancer and antioxidant bioactive substances and understand their mechanisms of action through the use of plant-derived natural products. The major chemical components characterizing the EOs were cis-chrysanthenyl acetate 1, 6-oxocyclonerolidol 2, cis-8-acetoxychrysanthenyl acetate 3, and 6α-hydroxycyclonerolidol 4, respectively.

Chemical Composition of Essential Oil of (L.) Spreng from Burkina Faso, and Effects against Prostate and Cervical Cancer Cell Lines.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the essential oil of (L.) Spreng. ( from Burkina Faso in terms of cytotoxic activity against LNCaP cells, derived from prostate cancer, and HeLa cells, derived from cervical cancer.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of (L.) Poit. Essential Oil on Prostate and Cervical Cancers Cells.

Background And Objective: Hyptis suaveolens is an aromatic plant used in traditional medicine in Burkina Faso for management of various diseases including wounds and inflammatory diseases. Thus, the objective of this work was to characterize the chemical composition, antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of Essential Oil (EO) of H. suaveolens from Burkina Faso on cultured cancer cells.

How Chemical and Sensorial Markers Reflect Gentian Geographic Origin in Chardonnay Wine Macerated with Roots?

A Burgundian Chardonnay wine was enriched with root powders originating from two French mountain sites (Massif Central and Jura) in order to prepare semi-dry gentian aromatized Chardonnay wine-based drinks. These novel alcoholic beverages were chemically and sensorially characterized for evaluating if the gentian geographic origin influenced bitter and elemental and volatile composition and sensory profiles in the final products. For that, the chemical fingerprint of gentian powders and wines were carried by headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC), liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector (LC-DAD) and inductive coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).

Chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities of the essential oil of Cymbopogon nardus, a plant used in traditional medicine.

Objectives Natural products commonly used in traditional medicine, such as essential oils (EOs), are attractive sources for the development of molecules with anti-proliferative activities for future treatment of human cancers, e.g., prostate and cervical cancer.

Essential oil constituents of L. and L. (Cupressaceae) growing in Aures region of Algeria.

The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition of essential oils from the aerial parts of two species belonging to the Cupressaceae family growing in the Aures region of Algeria and The analysis by GC-MS and GC-FID techniques showed the presence of 38 compounds in oil where the major constituents were manoyl oxide (23.5%), pentadecan-2-enone 6Z (12.6%), abietatriene (8.

Aromatic Plants from Plateau des Cataractes: Occurrence of the Citronella Chemotype of Cymbopogon flexuosus (Nees ex Steud.) W.Watson Acclimatized in Congo-Brazzaville.

Cymbopogon flexuosus var. flexuosus (citral chemotype) was introduced in a local plantation in 2006 at Plateau des Cataractes, Congo-Brazzaville to remedy the difficult adaptation and low production of essential oil of C. citratus, a source of citral.

Optimization of the extraction of the -menthadienol isomers and aristolone contained in the essential oil from using a 2 full factorial design.

The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction of -menthadienol isomers and aristolone from the essential oil of by hydrodistillation. The study of the seasonal variation in the chemical composition has shown that the plant material has been subject to a natural selection regarding the biosynthesis of the -menthadienol isomers: during periods of water stress, the extracts are rich in and -mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-ol and poor in and -mentha-2,8-dien-1-ol. Regarding the modeling, eight experiments were carried out by considering three easily interpretable factors (the extraction duration, the residual water content and the state of the division of the plant material).

Chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities of essential oils of plants from Burkina Faso.

This research highlights the chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities of essential oils from leaves of Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum americanum, Hyptis spicigera, Lippia multiflora, Ageratum conyzoides, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Zingiber officinale. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Major constituents were α-terpineol (59.

Chemical variation of essential oil constituents of Ocimum gratissimum L. from Benin, and impact on antimicrobial properties and toxicity against Artemia salina leach.

To determine the period of harvest that optimizes the antimicrobial activities of the essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum L. from Benin, aerial plant parts were collected at two vegetative stages (pre- and full-flowering) and three sampling times (7 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm). Extraction by hydrodistillation yielded between 0.

Chemical variability of essential oils in natural populations of Cupressus dupreziana.

Essential oils extracted from dried leaves of Cupressus dupreziana A. Camus, an endemic species in the Tassili n'Ajjer (Central Sahara of Algeria), were analyzed by gas chomatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Analyses were carried out on 164 trees of 26 natural populations in order to determine the intra-specific variability.
