Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Ferula elaeochytris made it possible to isolate two sesquiterpene esters, 6-anthraniloyljaeschkeanadiol (elaeochytrin A) and 4beta-hydroxy-6alpha-(p-hydroxybenzoyloxy)dauc-9-ene (elaeochytrin B), as well as eight known compounds: 6-angeloyljaeschkeanadiol, teferidin, ferutinin, 6-(p-hydroxybenzoyl)epoxyjaeschkeanadiol, 6-(p-hydroxybenzoyl)lancerotriol, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and sandrosaponin IX. The cytotoxic activities of all compounds were investigated on K562R (imatinib-resistant) human chronic myeloid leukaemia and DA1-3b/M2(BCR-ABL) (dasatinib-resistant) mouse leukemia cell line. Elaeochytrin A was the most active compound on both cell lines (IC(50)=12.4 and 7.8microM, respectively). It was also tested on non-resistant human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL60, IC(50)=13.1microM) and was not toxic to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells up to 100microM.

Myoglobinuric acute renal failure (MARF) is a structural and functional disorder that occurs in the kidney following the release of muscle cell contents into the circulation. In this present study, possible protective and curative effects of extract against kidney and liver damage in experimentally induced MARF in a rat model were investigated. 3-4 Month-old, 200-250 g Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 8 equal groups with 7 rats per group.

Introduction: The use of probiotics and phytobiotics has attracted interest because of their protective effect against acidosis. (FE) is considered a good source of bioactive compounds, mainly monoterpene α-pinene. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a direct-fed microbial blend (Pro) and FE on rumen fermentation parameters under normal and acidosis conditions.
