Objectives: Evaluating the addition effect of J. insularis extract and FSH on the survival, activation and ROS production after in vitro culture of ovine preantral follicles enclosed in ovarian tissue. Methods: In the first experiment, ovarian fragments were fixed (non-cultured control) or in vitro cultured in α-MEM (cultured control), α-MEM supplemented with FSH 50 ng/mL, or in α-MEM supplemen...

Plasmonic bubbles are of great relevance in numerous applications, including catalytic reactions, micro/nanomanipulation molecules or particles dispersed liquids, and cancer therapeutics. So far, studies have been focused on bubble nucleation pure liquids. Here we investigate plasmonic ternary liquids consisting ethanol, water, trans-anethole oil, which can show the so-called ouzo effect. We fi...

Design of potential drug-like candidates for cancer is of interest in recent years. We used 60 compounds which are known to have the potential to down regulate Nuclear Factor kappaB (NFκB) for this study. The compounds were assessed for Lipinski's RO5 and ADMET properties. Allixin, anethole, capsaicin, linearol and syringic acid satisfied both Lipinski's RO5 and ADMET properties. These compound...

Microemulsions combine the advantages of emulsions with those of nanocarriers, overcoming the stability problems of the former and providing facile scalable systems with compartments adequate for high drug loadings. Recently, microemulsions are gaining attention in the formulation of anticancer drugs not only for topical treatment, but also for systemic delivery as well as for the development o...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect trans-anethole in combination with methotrexate, compared monotherapy or on inflammatory parameters and oxidative stress arthritic rats. experimental model arthritis induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (AIA) rats used. Treatment monotherapy, started day AIA induction continued for 21 days. association anethole (62.5 mg/Kg) methotrexate (6 thera...

Background and objectives: It is necessary to specify the best conditions of essential oils production to get more major compound(s) and higher yield oil. The fennel oil is useful in pharmaceutical industry as flavor. The main component of fennel oil is anethole (55-75%). The objective of this work was to identify the effect of  particle size, pH of water, method of distillatio...

In field trapping tests in Hungary cinnamyl alcohol (3-phenyl-2-propen-l-ol) and transanethole [(1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene)] attracted significantly more adult Epicometis (Tropinota) hirta (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) when presented together in the same bait compared to the single compounds Best attraction was recorded by a 1:1 mixture. Addition of other common floral scent comp...
