Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-cancer activities of essential oils and extracts of Stachys schtschegleevii plant as biological macromolecules

Multistage Extraction of Star Anise and Black Pepper Derivatives for Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Anticancer Activity

“…Due to the fact that the diverse biomass extractives of raw material, e.g., star anise and black pepper, possessed potent therapeutic efficacy, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities, a number of approaches were introduced previously, such as hot water extraction (Hu et al, 2020), hydro-distillation (Ibrahim et al, 2017), steam-distillation (Nasrollahi et al, 2019), solvent extraction (Chaves et al, 2020), supercritical fluid CO 2 extraction (Patra et al, 2020), and microwave-assisted extraction (Sun et al, 2020), to isolate and extract the bioactive components from these natural resources.…”

New Rare Ent-Clerodane Diterpene Peroxides from Egyptian Mountain Tea (Qourtom) and Its Chemosystem as Herbal Remedies and Phytonutrients Agents

“…In folk medicine, the infusions, decoctions, and ointments made from flowers and leaves of these herbs have been used in the treatment of some disorders such as skin infections, inflammation, wounds, digestive problems, cough, ulcers, and stomach ache, and applied as antispasmodic, sedative, and diuretic agents, and cardiac tonic [3,5,[7][8][9][10], and recently administrated for genital tumours, sclerosis of the spleen, and inflammatory cancerous ulcers [11][12][13]. Phenolic extracts and essential oils of Stachys species showed a number of important biological activities such as antioxidant [14][15][16][17][18], anti-inflammatory [16,19], antiangiogenic [20], anti-nociceptive [21,22], antimicrobial [3,4,23,24], cytotoxic, and anticancer [25][26][27][28][29][30]. Additionally, the genus Stachys is rich with flavonoids and phenolic [17,[31][32][33][34][35][36], diterpenoids [10,21,27,[37][38][39][40][41]<...>…”

Evaluation of in vitro anti-cancer effects of Styphnolobium japonicum root extract in human colon (HT-9), brain (U-87), and prostate (PC-3) cancer cell lines

“…Application of aromatic and medicinal plants in phytotherapy is typically due to their numerous biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant properties. (Nasrollahi, Ghoreishi, Ebrahimabadi, & Khoobi, 2019). Naturally derived anticancer chemotherapeutic products being currently used in cancer management such as vincristine, vinblastine, irinotecan, etoposide, paclitaxel, camptothecin, and epipodophyllotoxin occupy a crucial position because of their limited side effects and anti-multidrug resistance (Cragg & Newman, 2005;Nobili et al, 2009).…”

Styphnolobium japonicum (Sophora japonica) is a plant known as Chinese Scholar Tree which also grows in Asian countries such as Korea, and Japan.…”

“…Especially the roots are rich in quinolizidine alkaloids. Matrine and oxymatrine are the characteristic constituents of the root extract and were reported for their diverse biological and pharmacological activities (Pelletier, 1991). There are studies on the sedative, inotropic, antipyretic, antitumor effects, antinociceptive activity among others (Ding, Liao, Huang, Zhou, & Chen, 2006;Higashiyama et al, 2005;Ma et al, 2008).…”
