Dithymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, thymol and thymoquinone, compounds derived from N. sativa seeds, were investigated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities using cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) -2 (COX-2) assays. Our results show that all substances tested possess significant inhibitory activity against at least one COX form concentrations comparable to the active of indomethacin. Thymol was most COX-1 with an IC50 value 0.2 μM while thymohydroquinone thymoquinone exhibited strongest...
Since 1960, the positive effects of rare earth elements (REE) on crop physiology have been observed, and support for photosynthesis, biomass accumulation, secondary metabolites, or enzymes has reported in 40% studies. A higher content chlorophylls a b as well carotenoids found along with an increased efficiency photosystem II photochemistry electron transfer rates. An activity key photosynthetic enzyme was also several plants growing soil REE. appropriate amount REE activates antioxidant...
Phytoremediation of selected pharmaceuticals (diclofenac, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen) using Armoracia rusticana Linum usitatissimum cell cultures by hydroponically cultivated Lupinus albus, Hordeum vulgaris, Phragmites australis plants in laboratory conditions is described. During vitro experiments, the best results for acetaminophen were achieved hairy root cultures, where 100% starting amount was removed from media during eight days. Total removal ibuprofen diclofenac a suspension...
Arsenic (As) contaminates the food chain and decreases agricultural production through impairing plants, particularly due to oxidative stress. To better understand As tolerance mechanisms, two contrasting tobacco genotypes: As-sensitive
