Essential oil composition and biological activities of Aleppo pine ( Pinus halepensis Miller) needles collected from different Tunisian regions. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH 2023; 33:83-97. [PMID: 34847783 DOI: 10.1080/09603123.2021.2005001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the variation regarding the chemical composition and biological activities of needles essential oils (EOs) of P. halepensis. Chemical profiles demonstrated a significant (P < 0.05) variability among the different EOs. The main identified compounds were caryophyllene (48.77 ± 2.26), phenyl isovalerate (22.22 ± 2.26), β-myrcene (15.55 ± 5.65) and α-pinene (14.52 ± 2.26). Further, it was shown that EO from Tabouba (Tab) displayed the highest DPPH scavenging (IC50 = 73.03 mg/mL), anti-inflammatory (IC50 = 23.29 µg/mL) and α-glucosidase inhibition activities (IC50 = 254.45 µg/mL). While Elmahres (Elm) exhibited the most potent ABTS radical's inhibition (IC50 = 197.87 mg/mL). For the cytotoxic capacities, Kettana (Ket) was the most efficient against breast cancer MCF-7 cell line with IC50 value better than doxorubicin used as positive control. Obtained results suggest that EO of P. halepensis could be used as a source of bioactive compounds.

Phytochemical and biological activities of Pinus halepensis mill., and their ethnomedicinal use. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 268:113661. [PMID: 33276057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Pinus halepensis Mill., is a Mediterranean medicinal plant with numerous traditional applications such as anti-scarring, antiseptic, astringent, antifungal, and anti-tuberculosis. It is used against diarrhea, wounds, rheumatism, cough, gastrointestinal illnesses, hypertension, and hemorrhoids. AIM OF THE REVIEW We critically summarized previous reports on the botanical, taxonomical, ecological, geographical distribution, phytochemical, and pharmacological results of P. halepensis Mill. MATERIALS AND METHODS To gather data on P. halepensis Mill., different scientific search engines were consulted such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Wiley Online, Scifinder, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, PubMed. The collected data on P. halepensis Mill., were organised according to ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, and pharmacology. RESULTS Ethnomedicinal studies indicated that P. halepensis Mill., is used as a protective remedy against respiratory and digestive disorders, arterial hypertension, microbial infections. These medicinal uses vary based on the part used and regions. The extracts and essential oils of P. halepensis Mill., demonstrated several biological effects including antimicrobial, antidiabetic anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, antiparasitic, and hepatoprotective. Traditional uses and biological effects of P. halepensis Mill., were attributed to the numerous molecules that belong to different chemical classes such as terpenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, fatty acids and steroids, aldehydes and ketones. CONCLUSIONS In vitro and in vivo investigations of P. halepensis Mill., extracts and essential oils showed interesting pharmacological activities supporting the traditional use of this species. Previous reports indicated that P. halepensis Mill., extracts and their constituents exhibited potent antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, protective, anticoagulant, anti-hemolytic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Further investigation is needed to reveal the full biological spectra of P. halepensis Mill., extracts and essential oils (using in vivo models) and to validate their industrial applications as a food additive. However, in-depth studies are required to investigate the biological properties and molecular mechanisms of P. halepensis Mill., secondary metabolites in the management of diabetes mellitus and the prevention of the neurodegenerative disorders development such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Studies exploring pharmacological effects of P. halepensis Mill., bioactive components such as the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic drugs are required to validate the clinical use of these molecules. The safety of P. halepensis Mill., and its bioactive compounds should be also investigated by carrying out further pharmacokinetic and toxicological experiments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) on cell viability, proliferation, and the protective roles in intestinal epithelial cells-6 (IEC-6) treated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS Cell viability and proliferation of IEC-6 were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Brdu assay separately. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. Inflammatory cytokines were analysed by real-time PCR and ELISA. Western blot was utilized to measure the level of MAPK and NF-κβ nuclear translocation. RESULTS Dose-dependent effects of bLF on cell viability and proliferation were observed in IEC-6 cells (both P < 0.05), especially at a dose of 100 μg/ml. The percentage of cells in the G2 and S phase was significantly higher than those of the control group (8.17 ± 0.49% vs 4.72 ± 0.55%, P < 0.01 and 12.75 ± 0.33% vs 9.48 ± 0.33%, P < 0.01, respectively). The mRNA level of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α was decreased by co-stimulation of bLF and LPS compared with the LPS treatments alone in IEC-6 cells (all P < 0.001). The secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α were also decreased by co-stimulation of bLF and LPS (both P < 0.01). Bovine lactoferrin treatment at dose of 100 μg/ml could inhibit the activation of MAPK/NF-κβ signal pathway induced by LPS (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bovine lactoferrin could promote the cell viability and proliferation, and have anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of the activation of MAPK and NF-κβ nuclear translocation. Supplementation of formula with bLF may be beneficial in preventing NEC in preterm infants.

Abstract
With new consumption trends and mindset of a healthier way of life, there is an increasing demand for
functional foods. To provide stable and functional products to consumers, the stability of the active compounds
must be preserved during the processing of food. For this purpose, encapsulation techniques have been used in
various industries in order to overcome problems such as stability, low solubility, and degradation under process
conditions for food applications. Electrospinning and electrospraying are two highly versatile and scalable electrohydrodynamic
methods, which have gained increasing attention in the various encapsulation applications. This
review will give readers an overview of the latest electroencapsulation (electrospraying and electrospinning) of
natural bioactive compounds for functional foods applications.
