This survey was performed to aim of synthesize Nano emulsion from Ferula gummosa essential oil (FEGO-NE) and evaluate its anti-tumor effect. First, analyzed by GC–MS method, then the synthesized as O/W after characterization DLS, Zeta potential, AFM, FESEM TEM methods, toxicity evaluated MTT method. Then pro-apoptotic effects were qPCR (Caspase3, 9, Bax Bcl-2) method AO/PI staining. The cancer ...

conclusions these results showed an inhibitory effect for the extract of asafetida on muscarinic receptors of tracheal smooth muscle. results the ec50 obtained in the presence of higher concentration of the extract muscle was significantly higher compared to saline (p < 0.01). the maximum responses to methacholine in the presence of higher concentration of the extract (10 mg/ml) was significant...
