Published: October 2007

Objective: To investigate the evaluation method for self-emulsifying drug delivery system of volatile oil from rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong (VOC SEDDS).

Method: The self-emulsifying ability, the efficiency of self-emulsification, the properties of emulsion, the dissolution of volatile oil from Rhizome of Ligusticum Chuanxiong and the stability of the emulsion were determined.

Result: The optimized formulation can fully emulsify in 5 min and the particle sizes were around 102 nm. Zeta potential was about -30 mV. The O/W emulsions were stable through centrifugation with high reproducibility. In vitro dissolution test indicated that over 80% of drug dissolved in 30 min and VOC SEDDS was stable under light and high temperature in 10 d.

Conclusion: VOC SEDDS has strong self-emulsifying ability, fine stability and high dissolution rate in vitro.

The Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, severely threatens citrus production worldwide by transmitting the greening (= Huanglongbing)-causing bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. There is growing evidence that the push-pull strategy is suitable to partially mitigate HLB by repelling ACP with transgenic plants engineered to produce repellents and attracting the vector to plants with a minimal disease transmission rate. Species that pull ACP away from commercial citrus plants have been identified, and transgenic plants that repel ACP have been developed.

Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine, Beijing 100176, PR China; Key Laboratory of Food Authenticity Identification, State Administration for Market Regulation, Beijing 100176, PR China.

This study investigated the oxidative degradation of lipids in soybean oil used for frying French fries (SOFFF) and chicken breast meat (SOFCBM) using integrated volatolomics and oxidative lipidomics. Water in the food matrix promotes triglyceride hydrolysis. The rate of lipid hydrolysis was higher in SOFCBM, whereas the rate of lipid oxidation was higher in SOFFF.

Essential oils from Amorpha fruticosa against hepatocellular carcinoma based on network pharmacology.

BMC Complement Med Ther

January 2025

Henan Institute of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.

Background: Amorpha fruticosa was used for treating burn, ambustion, carbuncle, and eczema in the traditional Chinese medicine. Although more and more attention has been paid to its biological activity recently, the antitumor activities of the essential oils (EOs) extracted from its leaves (AFLEO) and flowers (AFFEO), and their molecular mechanisms have never been reported up to now. The objective of present study was to examine the chemical compositions of AFLEO and AFFEO, then investigate the effects and pharmacological mechanism of EOs against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Various practical strategies have been employed to mitigate the detrimental effects of water deficit stress on plants such as application of nano-stimulants. Nanosilicon plays a crucial role in alleviating the deleterious impacts of both abiotic and biotic stresses in plants by modulating various phyto-morphological and physiological processes. This study aimed to examine the combined effects of drought stress and nanosilicon application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and compositions of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.
