Investigations on the essential oil of Cymbopogon giganteus from Benin for its potential use as an anti-inflammatory agent

Antioxidant properties, selected enzyme inhibition capacities, and a cosmetic cream formulation of Thai mango seed kernel extracts

“…5-Lipoxygenase catalyses the conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to biologically active metabolites, which are active mediators in a variety of inflammation processes [26]. A previous study showed that the IC 50 values for the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of eight plant extracts ranged from 27.4 + 0.6 to 66.7 + 0.6 µg / mL [27].…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Screening of Various N-Substituted Derivatives of Sulfonamides

“…Leukotrienes are important biologically active mediators in a variety of inflammatory events. It has been found that these LOX products play a key role in variety of disorders such as bronchial asthma, inflammation [8,9]. In this work, we report various N-substituted derivatives of o-anisidine.…”

Evaluation of the antimicrobial activities of Cymbopogon schoenanthus

“…In fact, beside their traditional uses in folk medicine, many scientists have reported numerous useful biological activities of the essential oils and essential oil constituents of Cymbopogon species. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated how Cymbopogon species shows anti-inflammatory, anticancer and allelopathic activities (Li et al, 2005;Santoro et al, 2007;Alitonou et al, 2006). There are few reports available describing other bioactivities of agricultural and ecological significance such as food packaging and insect repellent of essential oils of Cymbopogon species (Das and Ansari, 2003;Singh et al, 2006).…”
