Although the chemical composition and biological properties of some species of the genus Pistacia has been investigated, studies on hull essential oil of Pistacia vera L. variety Bronte (HEO) are currently lacking. In this work, we have carried out an in-depth phytochemical profile elucidation by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and an evaluation of antioxidant scavenging ...

Principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate analysis was applied to study the cytotoxic activity of essential oils from various species of the Pistacia genus on human tumor cell lines. In particular, the cytotoxic activity of essential oils obtained from P. lentiscus, P. lentiscus var. chia (mastic gum), P. terebinthus, P. vera, and P. integerrima, was screened on three human adenocarcinoma...

background and objective: changes of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of different nervous disorders including alzheimer’s disease. this research work was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of pistacia lentiscus ethanolic extract on acetylcholinesterase activity. materials and methods: activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (ache) was measured by ellman...

Background and Objective: Changes of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of different nervous disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. This research work was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Pistacia lentiscus ethanolic extract on acetylcholinesterase activity.

background and objectives: most antiepileptic drugs that are commonly being used in the clinic have a wide range of unwanted side effects; while some species of pistachioshave been used in the traditional medicine to treat epilepsy. the aim of the present study was to investigate the anticonvulsant effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of pistacia vera l. in pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced che...

AIM/BACKGROUND Pistacia terebinthus is used as a coffee substitute in the East and Southern Anatolia regions of Turkey. It contains unsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, polyphenols and carotenoids. P. terebinthus has anti-inflammatory and potential antioxidant activity. In this study we evaluated the protective effects of P. terebinthus coffee (PTC) on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver injury ...
