In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory and Anticancer Evaluation of Mentha spicata L. and Matricaria chamomilla L. Essential Oils.

This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects of pharma-grade essential oils, specifically spearmint and German chamomile. The oils were tested using enzyme assays and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on various cell lines. The major components of the oils were identified, and their IC values were calculated. The essential oils were found to have no cytotoxic effects on healthy cells but increased apoptotic activity in cancer cells. Additionally, the oils showed selective inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme. These findings suggest a potential dual mode of action for the essential oils and warrant further investigation.

A Review: Pharmacological Activity and Phytochemical Profile of Abelmoschus esculentus (2010-2022).

Okra (L. Moench) is a vegetable with rich polyphenolic compounds. It contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, and sterols. This chemical diversity contributes to various therapeutic activities such as antidiabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. It also has wound healing, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective effects.
