Abstract
Background
The complex composition of essential oils (EOs) derived from plants offers potential therapeutic approaches for treating various medical conditions, including neurological disorders and infectious diseases. This research aimed to comprehensively analyze the phytochemical composition of Iris haynei EO and evaluate its pharmacological properties, specifically its cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activity, and modulation of AMPA receptors.
Results
The analysis of I. haynei EO, conducted using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, identified diethyl phthalate, α-terpineol, and benzyl acetate as the main components. Cytotoxicity experiments on several cancer cell lines revealed a dose-dependent impact. Electrophysiological recordings on HEK293T cells expressing AMPARs showed varying levels of inhibition across different subunits, with receptors encoding GluA2 exhibiting the most significant effects. The EO also demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi.
Conclusions
The findings of this study underscore the potential therapeutic benefits of I. haynei EO, particularly in treating neurological conditions associated with AMPA receptor dysfunction and exhibiting antimicrobial activity against infectious agents. The promising results warrant further investigation into the pharmacological effects of the EO, suggesting a novel approach for addressing cerebral ischemia and related neurological diseases.
期刊介绍:
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed forum for the advancement and application to all fields of agriculture of modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technologies. The scope of this journal includes chemical and biochemical processes aimed to increase sustainable agricultural and food production, the evaluation of quality and origin of raw primary products and their transformation into foods and chemicals, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation. Of special interest are the effects of chemical and biochemical technologies, also at the nano and supramolecular scale, on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their environment, with the help of modern bioinformatics. Another special focus is the use of modern bioorganic and biological chemistry to develop new technologies for plant nutrition and bio-stimulation, advancement of biorefineries from biomasses, safe and traceable food products, carbon storage in soil and plants and restoration of contaminated soils to agriculture.
This journal presents the first opportunity to bring together researchers from a wide number of disciplines within the agricultural chemical and biological sciences, from both industry and academia. The principle aim of Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is to allow the exchange of the most advanced chemical and biochemical knowledge to develop technologies which address one of the most pressing challenges of our times - sustaining a growing world population.
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture publishes original research articles, short letters and invited reviews. Articles from scientists in industry, academia as well as private research institutes, non-governmental and environmental organizations are encouraged.
