Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) have been prepared by high-pressure homogenization and optimized in order to protect ferulic acid from Ferula assa-foetida L. extract. The influence of lipid surfactant concentration on the mean particle size (Z-Ave), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP) SLN was analyzed. In addition, other parameters for preparation acid-loaded nanoparticles, such as ...

conclusions extracts of the consolida orientalis l., ferula assa-foetida l., coronilla varia l. could be considered as potential sources of anticancer compounds but further studies are necessary for isolation and identification of biologically active substances. results result from the performed assay showed that ethanolic extract of consolida orientalis l., ferula assa-foetida l., coronilla va...

BACKGROUND Quorum sensing is a microbial cell-to-cell communication process. Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release extracellular messenger molecules called autoinducers. Gram-positive and Gram-negative, homoserine lactones, and oligopeptides are autoinducers used to communicate and regulate gene expression. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the impact of subinhibitory conc...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding five levels of ferula assa foetida powder (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1 percent of diet) on performance, humoral and cellular immune status and cecal microbial population. a total of 200 one-day-old mixed sex ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 5 experimental groups with each four replicates and 10 birds in each replicate,...

Recent investigations have shown that plants have antioxidant properties and could decrease oxidative stress in different human diseases. The present work was identified the chemical composition compounds and evaluated the various antoxidative activities of Ferula-assa-foetida leaves hydroalcoholic extract (FLHE) and Ferula-assa-foetida leaves essential oil ...

OBJECTIVE(S) Based on knowledge from traditional herbal medicine, Ferula assa-foetida (asafoetida) has several therapeutic applications but there is less knowledge about its effect on neurons. MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to evaluate neuronal differentiation, neuronal like cells were stained against neuronal specific markers β-Tubulin III and MAP2. After establishment of neuronal differenti...

ferula assa-foetida l . is distributed throughout central asia and mediterranean area and grows wildly in iran and afghanistan. asafoetida is an oleo-gum-resin that is the exudates of the roots of ferula assa-foetida and some other ferula species. in iranian traditional medicine, asafoetida is considered to be sedative, analgesic, carminative, antispasmodic, diuretic, antihelmintic, emmenagogue...

Objective: Ferula assa-foetida, a native species in Iran, is used for treatment of several diseases particularly for neurological disorders in Iranian Traditional Medicine. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of methanolic roots, fruits, and aerial parts extracts of Ferula assa-foetida on withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent mice. Materials and Methods: Aerial parts, roots, ...
