“…Chemical studies on pistachio kernels mainly regarded the fatty acids and sterols content (Arena, Campisi, Fallico, & Maccarone, 2007;Chahed et al, 2006;Chahed et al, 2008;Daneshared & Aynehchi, 1980;Okay, 2002;Phillips, Ruggio, & Ashraf-Khorassani, 2005;Ryan, Galvin, O'Connor, Maguire, & O'Brien, 2006;Satil, Azcan, & Baser, 2003;Venkatachalam & Sathe, 2006;Yildiz, Turcan Gurcan, & Ozdemir, 1998); other studies concern the kernel pigments characterisation (Bellomo & Fallico, 2007;Giuffrida, Saitta, La Torre, Bombaci, & Dugo, 2006;Wu & Prior, 2005), the resveratrol recovery in seeds (Gentile et al, 2007;Grippi et al, 2008;Tokusoglu, Unal, & Yemis, 2005) and the presence of anacardic acids in the outer green shell (Yalpani & Tyman, 1983).…”

“…Their wooden hard shell is covered with a rather dry hull which could be easily removed by pressing between fingers. This soft hull is dark green in color, comprises ,24% of the whole fruit (,25% kernel and ,51% hard shell) and yields up to ,30% oil [5].…”

Fatty acid composition, peroxide value, acid value, iodine value, saponification number, unsaponifiable matter content, total tocopherols and phenolics contents, and wax content of Bene hull oil (BHO) were determined and compared to those of Bene kernel oil (BKO) and extra-virgin olive oil (EVOLO). Considering the fatty acid composition and total tocopherols and phenolics contents, the resistance to the production of conjugated diene hydroperoxides and carbonyl compounds during the heating process at 170 7C for BHO was about 4.2 and 7.3 times and about 1.7 and 2.0 times those of BKO and EVOLO, respectively. The antioxidant activity of BHO was exactly the same as that of tert-butylhydroquinone at low concentrations (100 ppm).

Background and the purpose of the studyNatural products from plants have an important role in the development and production of new drugs mainly for cancer therapy. More recently, we have shown that the pericarp methanolic extract of Pistacia atlantica sub kurdica (with local name of Baneh) as a rich source of active biological components with high antioxidant and radical scavenging activities, has ability to cease proliferation and induce apoptosis in T47D human breast cancer cells. The present study aimed to clarify whether Baneh extract able to alter cell cycle progression of T47D cells or not.MethodsIn order to study the possible effect of Baneh extract on cell cycle of T47D cells, we evaluated cell cycle distribution and its regulatory proteins by flow cytometry and western blot analysis respectively.ResultsBaneh extract induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in conjunction with a marked decrease in expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4 that was strongly dependent on time of exposure. In parallel, Dox-treated T47D cells in early time points were accumulated on S phase, but after 48 h cell cycle progression was inhibited on G2/M. Dox promoted striking accumulation of cyclin B1 rapidly and enhanced cyclin A abundance.ConclusionTaken together, our results establish that the antitumor activity of the pericarp extract of Baneh partly is mediated via cell cycle arrest and downregulation of cyclin D1 and cdk4 expression. These findings warrant further evaluation regarding the mechanism(s) of action of this promising anticancer agent.
