Two plants in the Lamiaceae family show promise in treating CoV-induced inflammation. Thymol and carvacrol have antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing inflammatory mediators and enhancing antioxidant capacity. Potential treatment for CoV-induced lung disorder.
Thyme essential oils from Montenegro have antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. TVEO had higher cytotoxic effects and tumor-suppressive properties than TSEO, making them potential candidates for cancer treatment.
Researchers developed a wound dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with cerium oxide nanoparticles. The dressing demonstrated strong antibacterial properties, antioxidant activity, improved cell viability and migration, and increased diabetic wound repair by 95.47% after 15 days. This has potential for treating diabetes-related wounds.
Scientists developed an antimicrobial formulation with iodine, thyme, and AV that effectively combats various pathogens on cotton bandages and face masks. It remains potent even after long-term storage, making it useful for wound infections and as a spray-on contact killing agent.
Thyme oil can affect key proteins and pathways involved in breast cancer. Three compounds in Thyme oil show strong binding to breast cancer proteins. Thyme oil inhibits cancer cell growth. It has potential as a new therapy, but further studies are needed.
Mediterranean plant species contain phenolic compounds with potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases. 24 species studied, yielding 403 compounds, including gallic, vanillic, caffeic. 3 species show promise for protection against these diseases.
Thyme extract can help improve metabolic health in mice on a high-fat diet by reducing weight gain and body fat percentage, improving intestinal barrier function, and regulating serum biomarkers. Thyme also affects the levels of certain metabolites, showing promise in mitigating obesity and related gut conditions.
Thyme extracts inhibited SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-ACE2 interaction and ACE2 activity. They also showed strong antioxidant properties. Thyme extract could potentially prevent and reduce complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Plant essential oils (EOs) were tested for their antifungal activity against gray mold and brown rot. Results showed that certain EOs inhibited the growth of the fungi, suggesting their potential use for controlling these diseases in fruit and vegetable storage.
Thyme essential oil nanoemulsion was prepared and had antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. Th-nanoemulsion was more effective than the Th-emulsion in inhibiting cell growth and caspase activity, making it a potential treatment option.
Thyme and green tea extracts showed antimicrobial, antioxidant, hemolytic, and thrombolytic activities. These properties can be beneficial in treating diseases like cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases, and can be used as functional ingredients in food and drinks.
Cellulose nanocrystals were used to stabilize thymus vulgaris essential oil and create Pickering emulsions. These emulsions were loaded into modified tapioca/PVA-based films, which increased thickness, UV-blocking ability, and improved film properties for preserving fish fillets.
Thyme essential oil (EO) inhibited the growth and spread of triple-negative breast cancer cells. It induced apoptosis, increased oxidative stress, and activated Nrf2 pathway. Use of thyme EO may be beneficial for treating triple-negative breast cancer.
Certain plant essential oils, specifically those from Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare, have been found to effectively inhibit the growth of Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum. These oils cause structural and functional damage to the fungi, making them potential alternatives to synthetic fungicides.
The study investigated the effects of the herbal medication L. on breast cancer cells. Results showed that L. significantly reduced cell proliferation, induced cell death, and suppressed migration and colony formation. The findings suggest that L. may be a potential treatment for breast cancer, but further research is needed.
Thyme oil demonstrated strong inhibitory and bactericidal effects against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, common pathogens in meat products. It also showed anti-adherent activity. Thyme oil could be a natural alternative in fighting foodborne diseases.
This study used microbiological techniques to identify fungal populations on a deteriorating artwork by Rembrandt. They tested eco-friendly antifungal agents, which effectively inhibited fungal growth. The study offers a nondestructive technique for controlling fungal growth on artworks.
Review finds that plant-based drugs, particularly herbs, used as add-on therapy for COVID-19 show efficacy and safety, potentially enhancing the immune system for treating the virus. (37 words)
Researchers investigated the effects of thymol on autism-like behaviors in rats and related molecular mechanisms. VPA-exposed rats showed increased inflammation in the brain and decreased levels of proteins associated with neuronal function. Thymol treatment improved autism-like behaviors and rescued altered levels of inflammatory proteins and neuronal function-related proteins. Thymol achieved its effect by reducing inflammation through regulating Pin1/p38 MAPK and promoting neurodevelopment. These results suggest the potential of thymol as a therapeutic avenue for autism.
This study reviewed the potential effects of Thymus vulgaris (TvL) and its active compounds (thymol and carvacrol) on COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 by interacting with the ACE2 receptor and causing tissue damage. TvL has antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antiviral properties, and thymol and carvacrol have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. The study suggests that TvL and its active compounds may have beneficial effects in treating COVID-19, but further research is needed.
