The aim of this study was to fabricate and characterize various concentrations peppermint essential oil (PEP) loaded on poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) electrospun fiber mats for wound healing applications, where PEP intended impart antibacterial activity the fibers. SEM images illustrated that morphology all smooth, uniform bead-free. average diameter reduced by addition from 1.6±0.1 1.0±0.2 µm. Functional groups fibers were determined Raman spectroscopy. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy...
The objective of this study was to produce antibacterial poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-gelatin (GEL) electrospun nanofiber mats containing clove essential oil (CLV) using glacial acetic acid (GAA) as a "benign" (non-toxic) solvent. addition CLV increased the fiber diameter from 241 ± 96 305 82 nm. Aside this, wettability PCL-GEL by CLV. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed presence CLV, and actual content determined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Our...
Abstract Naturally occurring compounds such as sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids (SQTs) have been shown to modulate GABA A receptors (GABA Rs). In this study, the modulatory potential of 11 SQTs at Rs was analyzed characterize their neurotropic activity. Transfected HEK293 cells primary hippocampal neurons were functionally investigated using electrophysiological whole‐cell recordings. Significantly different effects β‐caryophyllene α‐humulene, well respective derivatives β‐caryolanol...
Abstract As one of the most common tree species, birch wood ( Betula pendula Roth) is widely used as a material furniture and decoration indoors for its many excellent characteristics. Whereas there are some studies on volatile composition essential oil from leaves Roth, only limited information available odor-active constituents wood. To close this gap, odorants were investigated by means instrumental sensory analyses, including techniques such gas chromatography-flame ionization...
Abstract The (semi)volatile fraction of Matricaria chamomilla L., an annual herbal plant from the family Asteraceae, contains high quantities sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids. A method was developed to achieve isolation separation these compounds, using a combination solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) solid support-free liquid-liquid chromatography. biphasic liquid system n -heptane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water, 5/2/5/2 v/v/v/v (Arizona S) elaborated as suitable for simultaneous...
Abstract This study focuses on developing hybrid scaffolds incorporating phytotherapeutic agents via a combination of three‐dimensional (3D) printing and electrospinning to enhance mechanical properties provide antibacterial activity, in order address the limitations traditional antibiotics. In this regard, 3D‐printed polycaprolactone (PCL) struts are first fabricated using fused deposition modeling (FDM). Then, alkaline surface treatment is applied improve adhesion electrospun nanofibers....
