Recovery of acetyl cholinesterase inhibition by Methanolic Bark Extract of Ac...Innspub Net
Organophosphates (OPs) pesticides are reported to cause acute poisoning because of their ability to inhibit acetyl cholinesterase enzyme (AChE). Available antidotes drugs are atropine sulfur, Pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methyl chloride) and diazepam, which act to recover OP-AChE inhibition. These are controlled drugs not easily accessed and very expensive. In this present study Acacia nilotica was assessed for its antioxidant activity, and in vivo AChE depression and recovery from OP-AChE inhibition. The mice were exposed in three different OPs including chlorpyrifos 480g/l (CPF), Fenitrothion 10g/l (FNT) and Profenophos 720g/l (PFP). The methanolic bark extract of A. nilotica had a substantial increase of absorbance readings from 2.895±0.0032 to 3.716±0.0259 compared to standard (ascorbic acid) from 0.108±0.0033 to 1.468±0.0297 at P<0.05. AChE depression and recovery were assessed by using the AChE test mate kit to analyze blood collected from the mice’s tail. Recovery effect under crude methanolic extract from A. nilotica, ascorbic acid and normal feeding were compared with the untreated group. Results have shown that there is a significant decrease of AChE level from Day zero to 14th day in all treated groups of CPF, PFP and FNT which indicate poisoning. Significance of AChE recovery observed only in male mice in all treatment groups. This is a first study to assess and report the antioxidant activity of stem bark methanolic extracts of A. nilotica in controlling organophosphate pesticide toxicity in mice, hence further studies on isolation of active compounds are recommended.

Novel thiazolidinone derivatives TQ-VI(1-10) were designed, synthesized and screened for
antimicrobial activity. Synthesis of 3-(4-(7-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl) 4-oxo-quinazolin-3(4H)-yl) phenyl) -
2-arylthiazolidin-4-one TQ-VI(1-10) have been achieved from the starting material 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic
acid TQ-I on cyclization with p-chlorobenzoyl chloride TQ-II to yield 7-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4H-3,1-
benzoxazin-4-one,TQ-III, which on treatment with p-phenylindiamine gave 3-(4-aminophenyl)-7-chloro-2-(4-
chlorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one, TQ-IV in good yield. Then, TQ-IV on reaction with substituted aromatic
aldehydes converted to TQ-V(1-10), which on cyclization with thioglycolic acid gave TQ-VI (1-10). All the
synthesized compounds have been characterized on the basis of IR,
1
H-NMR and mass spectral data. The
compounds containing 4-OH, 4-OCH3 and 3,4,5-(OCH3)3 showed good activity. The title compounds were
screened for qualitative (zone of inhibition) and quantitative antimicrobial activity (MIC) by agar cup plate
method and serial dilution technique, respectively. Among the synthesized compounds in the series, the
compound TQVI4 and TQVI5 were found to exhibit significant antifungal activity at lower concentration of
31.25 µg/ml, against A.niger. The compound TQVI5 and TQVI4 showed zone of inhibition of 17mm and 15mm
against A.niger and C.albicans respectively which is comparable to that of standard drug. The rest of the
analogues in the series displayed weak to moderate antimicrobial activity when compared to the standard
positive controls Ampicillin and Amphotericin B.
In Ayurveda, the leaf juice of Adhatoda vasica, a shrub native to Asia is incorporated in
many traditional herbal formulations. However, suitable solvent and a suitable extraction
method for phytochemical profiling are not well established, and there is no published mass
spectra structural interpretation of the identified compounds. This has caused a few
problems in herbal formulation research due to the bias derived from different extraction
methods. Therefore, this study used polar and non polar extraction for phytochemical
analysis on Adhatoda vasica, aiming to assess the potential impact of different solvents. This
study included extractive value, total phenol and alkaloid content of the leaves in different
preparations. Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to
study the phytochemical profile of different solvents. Significant differences were observed in
all the parameters such as extract yield, total phenol, total alkaloid and phytochemical
composition. The ethanol extract stood out most for effective extraction of phytochemicals,
especially for the alkaloids. The results highlight the necessity for comparative analyses of
chemical composition in different solvent extractions and careful choice and validation of
analytical methodology in herbal formulation research.

A total of forty six and thirty two different components were identified in the essential oils obtained from M. piperita and M. spicata, respectively, constituting approximately >99% (w/w) of the oils. The major components in the essential oil of M. piperita were menthol (34.3%), L-menthone (18.24%) and isomenthone (5.16%), neoisomenthol (3.48%), pulegone (3.03%) and menthyl acetate (3.01%). The major components in the essential oil of M. spicata were carvone (61.4%) ; limonene (11.87%) and 1, 8 – cineol (5.21%). The antifungal activity of the oils was tested by disc diffusion method and the micro-dilution broth method (MIC) against six plant pathogenic fungi: Alternaria alternata Alternaria solani, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani and Rhizopus solani. The results from the disc diffusion method followed by MIC indicated that M. spicata essential oil showed maximum antifungal activity with larger inhibition zone (20 – 29 mm) and the smallest MIC values (65.8 – 120.3 μg mL-1) against all the strains tested. M. piperita essential oil exhibited good antifungal activity with inhibition zone of 19 and 20 mm and MIC values of 120.3 and 115.4 μg mL- 1, respectively against Fusarium solani and Aspergilus flavus and excellent antifungal activity with inhibition zone of 28 and 30 mm and MIC values of 65.4 and 50.6 μg mL- 1, respectively against Aspergilus niger and Rhizopus solani.
Since primeval times Flavors and Fragrances has been an element of our life. We have been making it a part of life. By different means we all utilize perfumery and flavor materials, in our everyday life. Fragrances have a key part in religious ceremonies as it was considered to possess strengths to cure and protect from evil. We in our routine life starting from morning till night make different uses of products for personal care and cleanliness which have perfumes. Even consumables like confectionary contain some type of perfume or flavors. Most fragrance comes naturally form many plants. This smell is known as aroma which is a Latin word and those flora which have this aroma are known as aromatic plants. These aromas are extracted from some odoriferous material called essential oils. There is no dearth of aromatic plants in India.

Fragrances have a key part in religious ceremonies as it was considered to possess strengths to cure and protect from evil. We in our routine life starting from morning till night make different uses of products for personal care and cleanliness which have perfumes. Even consumables like confectionary contain some type of perfume or flavors. Most fragrance comes naturally form many plants. This smell is known as aroma which is a Latin word and those flora which have this aroma are known as aromatic plants. These aromas are extracted from some odoriferous material called essential oils. There is no dearth of aromatic plants in India.

Basil (Ocimum basilicum), is a medicinal plant mint family (Lamiaceae) which contains cyclic compounds and essential oil, and it has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. From Long ago, Basil has been used for treatment of headache, cough, diarrhea and fever, inflammation of the throat and stomach pain in Iran. Basil essential oil is mainly containing phenylpropanoids compounds, the biosynthesis path of these compounds are of course passed from the pathway of shikimate and the most important compounds of them, that can be cited, are chavicol and methyl chavicol. The role of salicylic acid is known as a bio- stimulant to improve the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in many plants. In this study, the effect of salicylic acid on gene expression CVOMT and the amount of methyl chavicol was studied. Therefore, basil was treated with 2 mM solution of salicylic acid before flowering stage, and respectively the samples were harvested 1, 2, 3 and 5 days after treatment. Gene expression CVOMT which was under influence of salicylic acid, compared with controls, showed the highest activity of gene expression CVOMT. So, on the third day after treatment was reached to highest level and on the fifth day after treatment was reduced. Essential oil analysis also showed that the methyl chavicol influenced by

Ijb vol-16-no-1-Recovery of acetyl cholinesterase inhibition by Methanolic Ba...Innspub Net
Organophosphates (OPs) pesticides are reported to cause acute poisoning because of their ability to inhibit acetyl cholinesterase enzyme (AChE). Available antidotes drugs are atropine sulfur, Pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methyl chloride) and diazepam, which act to recover OP-AChE inhibition. These are controlled drugs not easily accessed and very expensive. In this present study Acacia nilotica was assessed for its antioxidant activity, and in vivo AChE depression and recovery from OP-AChE inhibition. The mice were exposed in three different OPs including chlorpyrifos 480g/l (CPF), Fenitrothion 10g/l (FNT) and Profenophos 720g/l (PFP). The methanolic bark extract of A. nilotica had a substantial increase of absorbance readings from 2.895±0.0032 to 3.716±0.0259 compared to standard (ascorbic acid) from 0.108±0.0033 to 1.468±0.0297 at P<0.05. AChE depression and recovery were assessed by using the AChE test mate kit to analyze blood collected from the mice’s tail. Recovery effect under crude methanolic extract from A. nilotica, ascorbic acid and normal feeding were compared with the untreated group. Results have shown that there is a significant decrease of AChE level from Day zero to 14th day in all treated groups of CPF, PFP and FNT which indicate poisoning. Significance of AChE recovery observed only in male mice in all treatment groups. This is a first study to assess and report the antioxidant activity of stem bark methanolic extracts of A. nilotica in controlling organophosphate pesticide toxicity in mice, hence further studies on isolation of active compounds are recommended.
The word “banana” is a general term comprising a number of species or hybrids in the genus Musa of family Musaceae. Many studies reported that banana is a good source of phenolic compounds, which are having potential health benefits in human beings. The phytochemical composition of eight banana varieties was investigated. Quantitative estimation of phytochemicals revealed that highest alkaloid and tannin content was noticed in variety Nendran (3.76% and 4.40 mg/100g respectively). Whereas, variety Rasakadali exhibited highest flavonoid content (9.49 mg/100). Total phenol and saponin content was found higher in variety Kadali (0.82% and 11.6 mg/100g respectively).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Abstract
In this study, the essential oil of Anethum graveolens L. seed (AEo) was studied for their chemical composition,
antioxidant potential, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. AEo was obtained from hydro-distillation and their
composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The major compositions of AEo are D-carvone, carvone, dill apiol and
limonene. AEo was investigated for antioxidant activity by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP assay and measured total
phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method. Agar-well diffusion assay was used to study the anti-microbial
activity and also agar-dilution and broth-micro dilution techniques were employed for minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. In addition, the cytotoxicity and anticancer activity were
evaluated on Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Resazurin micro plate assay (REMA). The results showed
that AEo exhibited high total phenolic content (GAE= 4.5746 mg/mL) and antioxidant activities on DPPH
(TEAC= 52.5391 mg/mL), ABTS (TEAC= 1.5936 mg/mL) and FRAP assay (TEAC= 0.5469 mg/mL) and also
showed potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at the MIC= 5.99 μg/mL.
Furthermore, AEo presented non-cytoxicity in normal cell whereas it exhibited greatly anti-cancer activity on
KB-Oral cavity and MCF7-Breast cancer cells.
Keywords: Anethum graveolens L., antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, anticancer activity, chemical
compositions
1. Introduction
Anethum graveolens L. is known in Thai as Pakk Chi Lao which is a member of the Umbelliferae family. This
medicinal plant has been extensively cultivated in the northern and northeastern regions of Thailand for
household use. The fresh aerial part of plant is used as an edible vegetable and also used as flavor in local
cuisine. Moreover, the plant seeds are widely used as spice and an ingredient in Thai traditional medicines. In
addition, local wisdom has taught that the seeds can be used for the fermented food to prevent food spoilage.
Previous research proved the potential biological activities, e.g., antimicrobial and antioxidant, of A. graveolens
L. seeds. The essential oil from A. graveolens L. seeds inhibited gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
including yeast and mold as well (Abed, 2007; Badar et al., 2008; Delaquis et al., 2002; Lopez et al., 2005). D-limonene
and D-carvone which are chemical compositions exhibited strong activity against Aspergillus niger,
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans (Delaquis et al., 2002; Jirovetz et al., 2003; Stavri and
Gibbons, 2005). Moreover, some parts of the plant such as the leaf and seeds, including their essential oils,
showed good antioxidant activity (Kmiecik et al., 2001; Mohammad and Aburijai, 2004; Singh et al., 2005). The
flower extract of A. graveolens L. exhibited higher antioxidant potential than leaf and seed extracts (Shyu et al.,
2009). Furthermore, methanolic extract of A. graveolens L. exhibited activities against tumor cell lines MK-1,
HeLa as well as B16F10 (Yazdanparast and Alavi, 2001). The chemical constituents in A. graveolens L., e.g.,
alpha-terpineol, alpha-tocopherol, caffeic acid, hyperoside, iso-quercetin, kaempferol, limonene and rutin
showed anti-cancer activity while chlorogenic acid and furulic acid exhibited anti-liver cancer cells as well
(Sathya and Gopalakrishnan, 2012). However, the differences in biological activity and chemical composition of
the plant may be dependent on many factors, i.e., plant part, harvest time, type of cultivar, geographic origin,
storage conditions, extraction method, etc. (Charles et al., 1995; Delaquis et al., 2002; Faber et al., 1997).
Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate chemical constituents and antioxidant, antimicrobial
including anticancer activities of AEo that are grown in Thailand.
2. Material and Methods:
2.1 Plant materials
The seeds plant material of A. graveolens L. was collected from Khon Kaen Province during November 2011 to
January 2012. The identification of plant material was verified by J.F. Maxwell, a taxonomist. The voucher

specimens were deposited in CMU Herbarium at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai
University (N. Phoowiang No.7).
2.2 Essential oil extraction
The essential oil from A. graveolens L. seeds (AEo) was obtained by hydro-distillation. Then, anhydrous sodium
sulfate was used to dry the essential oil, and was placed in a brown bottle that protected it from light. After that,
it was stored in the refrigerator for further analysis
2.3 Determination of chemical composition
The concentration of AEo (0.5%) was prepared in ethanol analytical reagent grade. SHIMADZUÒ GC-2010
instrument with AOC-500 auto injector as well as the flame ionization detector (FID) and GCMS-QP2010 Plus
equipment were used for analysis. The injector was set at 180 °C of temperature. The sample solution was
separated by DB-5MS capillary column (Agilent Technology), length 30 m, i.d. 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25
μm of 5% phenylmethypolysiloxane. One microliter of AEo solution was auto injected into the injector port with
split ratios of 50:1 and using helium as a carrier gas at the flow rate 1.00 mL/min. The temperature program of
reparation was initially created from 60-200 °C at the rate differential as follows: the temperature was started
from 60-90 °C at the rate 5 °C/min, next ramped to 95 °C (1°C/min) continuously to 180 °C (5°C/min) after that
the temperature was increased to 180 °C at 1°C/min and also successively to 200 °C (10°C/min) with 5 min
hold. The identification of volatile components was based on computer matching with WILLEY 7 library as well
as by comparison of the mass spectra and Kovat retention indices (KI) with a series of n-alkanes and previous
information literature (Adam, 1995; NIST web book).
2.4 Determination of total phenolic content
The Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method (Singleton and Rossi, 1965) was used for examination of the total
phenolic content. The sample solution of AEo (250 μL) was mixed with the diluted Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and
distilled water in the ratio of 1:10 (2.5 mL). Then, 7.5% of sodium carbonate was added and incubated in the
dark at room temperature. After that, measurement was done at 765 nm by spectrophotometer (SHIMADZUÒ
UV-2450) and gallic acid equivalent value (GAE mg/mL) was calculated and compared with the dilution curve
of gallic acid standard.
2.5 Determination of antioxidant activities
2.5.1 The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay:
The antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging assay was investigated following the method describe by
Wu et al., 2005. The solution of DPPH radical was prepared in ethanol and measured at the wavelength 517 nm
(absorbance £1.00±0.02). Next, triplicate of the different sample concentrations (20 μL) were transferred into
96-well micro titer plate. Then, the DPPH radical solution was added into each well except blank and shaken,
and then left in the dark at room temperature (30 min). After that, measurement of the absorbance (517 nm) and
calculation of the percentage of inhibition compared with trolox standard as the formula was undertaken:
% Inhibition = ((Atest-ABlank)-(As-test- As-Blank)) x 100
(Atest-ABlank)
Where Atest is the absorbance of only free-radical solution, ABlank is the absorbance of ethanol which replaces
free-radical solution, As-test is the absorbance of sample mixed with free-radical solution and As-Blank is the
absorbance of sample mixed with ethanol. The result was compared with trolox standard and interpreted in terms
of Trolox equivalence antioxidant capacity value (TEAC mg/mL).
2.5.2 The 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radial scavenging assay:
The ABTS radical scavenging assay was tested by the modified method from Re et al., 1999. The ABTS radical
solution was prepared in the ratio of 2:1 by using ABTS radical solution in water (7 mM) and potassium
persulfate solution (2.45 mM). The mixture was stored in the dark at room temperature for 12 hours. Next, the
solution was diluted with ethanol and the absorbance was measured at the wavelength 734 nm (absorbance =
0.70-0.90±0.05) before use. Then, 20 μL of the different sample concentrations were added into test tubes and
mixed with 80 μL of ethanol including 2 mL of ABTS radical solution. The mixture was left at room
temperature for 5 minutes and the absorbance was detected (734 nm). The percentage of inhibition was
calculated and compared with trolox standard using the same formula as above.
2.5.3 Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay:
The FRAP assay was monitored with some method modifications of Benzie and Strain, 1996. A freshly-prepared
FRAP reagent was done by using a mixture of 200 mL of acetate buffer (300 mM, pH 3.6), 20 mL of TPTZ
(2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine) solution (10 mM TPTZ in 40 mM of HCl) and 20 mL of ferric chloride solution (20
mM). The mixture was incubated at 37° C before use. Ten micro liter of sample solution was mixed with 190 μL
of FRAP reagent in 96-well micro titer plate, then it was set aside in the dark at room temperature for 30
minutes. Finally, the absorbance was measured at wavelength 593 nm (BeckmanÒ Coulter/DTX880). The linear
equation of trolox standard (50-1000 μM) was compared and interpreted in terms of trolox equivalence

antioxidant capacity value (TEAC mg/mL).
2.6 Determination of antimicrobial activity
2.6.1 Microbial strains:
Five species of microorganisms were used in this research, namely, bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923
(S), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 (P), Escherichia coli ATCC25922 (E), yeast Candida albicans
ATCC90028 (C) and mold Aspergillus flavus (A) isolated strain. These microbial strains were obtained from the
culture collection of the Department of Medical Technology, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Chiang
Mai University. The turbidity of each microorganism was adjusted to match with the turbidity of McFarland No.
0.5 standard. The microorganism concentration was approximately 108 CFU/mL. This concentration was used
for inhibition zone investigation and suspended in trypticase soy broth (TSB) for bacteria and sabouraud
dextrose broth (SDB) for fungus. In addition, the diluted microbial strains at 106 CFU/mL (bacteria) and 104
spore/mL (fungus) were used to determine minimum inhibitory concentration of both dilution techniques.
2.6.2 Agar-well diffusion test:
Agar-well diffusion method was tested for microbial sensitivity compare to antibiotics. The method was
described by Bouhdid et al., 2008 with some modification as follows: the first layer of solid medium was
prepared from the mixture of TSA (10 mL) and 108 CFU/mL of bacteria strains (1 mL). Next, the steriled 12 mm
diameter cylinders were deposited, then the same fresh preparation mixture medium was transferred and left
until it became medium solidified, then the cylinders were removed. On the other hand, fungus was used for
SDA which replaced TSA using the same preparation method as above. After that, 100 μL of pure AEo were
poured into the well and incubated at 37° C for 24 hours for bacteria and 25° C for 72 hours for fungus. Finally,
the zones of inhibition were measured in millimeters. Gentamicin (75 μg/mL) and Ketoconazole (250 μg/mL)
were used as standards.
2.6.3 Agar-dilution test:
Agar-dilution technique was used for determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of bacteria
strains. The procedures followed NCCLS, 1997b with some modifications. The method of all tests was arranged
in TSA mixed with AEo at serial dilution ranging from 0.01-0.20 mg/mL which were transferred into a 24-well
micro titer plate. Then, 2 μL of each bacteria strain (104CFU) was dropped and evenly spread on the surface
mixture solidification medium. After that, the micro plates were inoculated at 37° C for 24 hr and the growth of
microorganism was observed.
2.6.4 Broth-micro dilution test:
Broth-micro dilution method was used for the MIC investigation of fungus. The method was described according
to the NCCLS, 1997c with some modifications. The essential oil (0.50 mg/mL) was prepared in
dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Fifty micro liter of medium (SDB) was transferred into 96-well micro titer plate.
Next, the highest concentration of AEo (50 μL) was dispensed in the first column wells. Then, the mixture (50
μL) was diluted two-fold serially from the first column wells onto the second column wells and so on, and
continued until the final concentration was achieved and removed (50 μL). After that, 104 spore/mL of fungus
suspension (50 μL) was added in all column wells with the final volumes being 100 μL per well. The positive
control used fungal inoculation only and negative control used the blank without fungus in the two last wells.
Finally, the mixture was incubated at 25° C for 72 hours and then, the growth of fungus was observed. The MIC
was then determined to have the lowest AEo concentration.
2.7 Determination of cytoxicity and anticancer activities:
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) detection was used in the investigation of the cytotoxicity of AEo. This method
was done by Hun et al., 1999 with some modifications. Vero cells of African green monkey kidney cell line
were used to evaluate the efficiency of AEo. The sample was prepared in 0.5% DMSO, the amount of AEo
solution 5 μL was transferred into 96-wells micro titer plate. Next, 190 μL of the GFP-expressing Vero cells line
(3.3x104 cells/mL) was added. Then, the mixture was incubated at 37° C and 5% CO2 for 4 days. After that, the
fluorescence signal detection was measured by SpectraMax M5 Multi-mode Microplate Reader at excitation and
emission wavelengths of 458 and 535 nm. The result was reported in terms of IC50 in the percentage unit (£50%
cell growth included). Ellipticine (1.06 mg/mL) and DMSO (0.5%) were used as positive and negative controls,
respectively. Resazurin microplate assay (REMA) was investigated to assess the anticancer activity of AEo on
KB-Oral cavity cancer, NCI-H187-Small cell lung cancer including MCF7-Breast cancer as well. This method
was performed according to the procedure of Brien et al., 2000. All of logarithmic growth phase cancer cells
were harvested and diluted at concentrations of 7x104 cells/mL for KB-Oral cavity cancer and 9x104 cells/mL
for NCI-H187-Small cell lung cancer as well as MCF7-Breast cancer, respectively. Next, 5 μL of each
suspension cancer cells were mixed with 5 μL of the diluted AEo which was prepared in 0.5% DMSO in micro
titer plate 384-wells. Then, the mixture was incubated at 37° C and 5% CO2 (3 days for KB-Oral cavity cancer
and MCF7-Breast cancer while 5 days for NCI-H187-Small cell lung cancer). After that, 12.5 μL of resazurin
solution (62.5 μg/mL) was added into each well and continuously incubated (37° C) for 4 hours. Finally,

measurement of the fluorescence signal was done by using SpectraMax M5 Multi-mode Microplate Reader at
excitation and emission wavelengths 530 nm and 590 nm, respectively. The result was calculated and interpreted
in terms of percentage unit of IC50 (³50% Inhibition included). Ellipticine (0.822 μg/mL and 0.781 μg/mL) and
Doxorubicin (0.593 μg/mL and 0.087 μg/mL) were used as positive controls of two cancer cells (KB-Oral cavity
cancer and NCI-H187-Small cell lung cancer) while Tamoxifen (9.51 μg/mL) and Doxorubicin (9.20 μg/mL)
were used for positive control of MCF7-Breast cancer. In addition, 0.5% DMSO was used as negative control in
all experiments.
3. Results and discussion
Anethum graveolens L. seeds showed 1.47% of AEo yield which was extracted by hydro-distillation. The
chemical components of AEo were identified by using GC-MS technique, the retention indices and their
percentages of composition are presented in Table 1. The results showed that AEo composed of 18 constituents.
Major component groups revealed monoterpene hydrocarbon (38.83%) and oxygenated monoterpene (38.83%)
and aromatic ether groups (16.67%). The highest percentage of relative content revealed D-carvon (32.94%),
carvone (20.73%), dill apiol (19.64%) and limonene (18.08%) as majority of components. Comparative to
previous research, the result found that the chemical composition showed similar in chemical pattern but
different in relative quantity of chemical compounds found in the essential oil. The essential oil of A. graveolens
L. seed that grew in Romania and Estonia exhibited two components, carvone (45.9-75.2%) and limonene (18.4-
21.6%), as major (Radulescu et al., 2010; Vokk et al., 2011). Some research indicated that D-carvone (36.09%),
Limonene (19.89%), dill apiol (16.83%), E-dihydrocarvone (7.36%) and Z-dihydrocarvone (6.59%) were present
as major compounds (Mahmoodi et al., 2012). Besides, Embong and co-worker (1977) reported that carvone,
limonene and phellandrene revealed up to 90% as main compounds in A. graveolens L. seed that cultivated in
Alberta Canada (Embong et al., 1977). The difference of their chemical compositions may depend on many
factors such as cultivation, growth stage, weather condition, etc. (Hay et al., 1988; Svoboda and Hay, 1990).
However, most chemical constituents found from the essential oil were mainly terpenes which were generally
several of mono-, di- and sesqui-terpene (Hay et al., 1988; Svoboda and Hay, 1990). Terpenes or terpinoids have
shown activities on antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antiviral, anti-allergenic, antispasmodic, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory
and immunomodulatory properties and also have been found to be useful in prevention and
therapy of several diseases including cancer (Paduch et al., 2007). Moreover, they all act as natural insecticides
which can be used as insecticidal substances for protecting agriculture products (Theis and Lerdau, 2003). The
information of chemical constituents of the essential oils can be used for quality controlling of the raw materials
use in further process for pharmaceutical product development.

The quantity of total phenolic content of AEo was monitored by spectrophotometer, using Folin-Ciocalteu
reagent and compared with gallic acid standard. The result was calculated and reported in terms of gallic acid
equivalence (GAE mg/mL). As well, the antioxidant activities were proved by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays.
The estimations of antioxidant scavengers were compared with trolox standard and reported in terms of trolox

equivalence antioxidant capacity (TEAC mg/mL). The results clearly indicated that the total phenolic content
and antioxidant activities were present in AEo. The amount of GAE was 4.5746 mg/mL and also showed TEAC
values on DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays which were 52.5391, 1.5936 and 0.5469 mg/mL, respectively (Table
2). The total phenolic content corresponds to chemical composition of essential oil that contained phenols group
in molecules (Houlihan et al., 1985; Wu et al., 1982) which resulted in potential of sample to antioxidant and
antimicrobial activities (Nakiatini and Kikuzaki, 1987). Shahidi and Wanasumdara in 1992 reported that one
group of phytochemicals, i.e., phenolic compound, could act as a radical scavenger in medicinal plants and had
been used to prevent various diseases. AEo showed higher antioxidant activity on DPPH, followed by ABTS and
FRAP assay, respectively. The difference of anti-oxidative values on their assay may be due to the ability of
bioactive compounds in AEo. Cao and co-worker in 2009 described that the oxygenated monoterpene and
monoterpene hydrocarbon are the principal antioxidant compounds in the essential oil from plant. Then, various
factors like stereoselectivity of the radicals or the solubility of the tested sample in different testing systems and
functional groups present in bioactive compounds have been reported to affect the capacity of the sample to react
and quench different radicals (Adedapo et al., 2008). However, the result indicated that AEo showed ability of
antioxidant in all assays which related to the mechanisms of hydrogen atom and electron transfer and also
showed capability of reducing agent. Quantity of total phenolic compound and antioxidant potential of AEo have
shown the efficiency of A. graveolens L. seed which proves the advantage and usefulness of folk wisdom.

The diameter zone of inhibitions and the lowest concentration of AEo had an effect on the visible growth of
microorganisms as shown in Table 3. The results presented that AEo exhibited against all microorganisms
except P. aeruginosa, the size of inhibition zones ranged from 16-30 mm. Width of zone of AEo-suppressed S.
aureus was equal to gentamicin (20 mm vs. 20 mm) standard and also showed the widest zones on A. flavus and
C. albicans (30 mm, 27.5 mm) which were wider than ketoconazole standard (17 mm, 23 mm). The MIC of AEo
ranged from 5.99-59.47 μg/mL, with the lowest concentration of AEo at 5.99 μg/mL which could restrain the
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (S. aureus and E. coli). The AEo exhibited higher activity to restrain
microorganism than the previous research of Nanasombat and Wimuttigosol in 2011 which reported that the
essential oil from seed of A. graveolens L. revealed MIC to S. aureus, E. coli and A. flavus at 6, 10 and 2 mg/mL.
Then, capability of AEo against C. albicans (29.78 μg/mL) corresponds with earlier study which reported that
this essential oil showed activity of inhibition in the six isolates of C. albicans (MIC = 0.626 μL/mL) (Zeng et
al., 2011). The antimicrobial activity of AEo may be due to major components that contained in essential oil.
Previous researches reported that D-carvone and limonene have exhibited strong antifungal activity against
Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans (Jirovetz et al., 2003; Stavri and Gibbons,
2005). Besides, dill apiole showed specific inhibitor to inhibit aftoxinx G1 production by Aspergillus parasiticus
(Razzaghi-Abyaneh et al., 2007). Former reports indicated that the membrane structure of microbial strains was
damaged by their lipophobic character of cyclic monoterpene which permeates from aqueous phase into
membrane structure and consequently increased membrane fluidity and expansion and also inhibition of a
membrane-embedded enzyme inhibition (Andrews et al., 1980; Sikkema et al., 1995). In addition, Faleiro in
2011 compiled and summarized the action of antimicrobial agent of essential oil as follows: one of
characteristics of essential oil that is important to antimicrobial activity is hydrophobicity character which
increases cell membrane permeability and causes leaking of cell constituent. The results can estimate the
capability of A. graveolens L. seed corresponding to the fermented food preservation in some regions of
Thailand.

The cytoxocity evaluation of AEo was carried out by GFP detection using African green monkey kidney Vero
cells. The anticancer activities were tested by REMA against KB-Oral cavity cancer, NCI-H187-Small cell lung
cancer including MCF7-Breast cancer. The results are presented in Table 4. AEo showed non-cytotoxicity

whereas it could inhibit KB-Oral cavity cancer (IC50 = 0.054%) and MCF7-Breast cancer (IC50= 0.053%) except
NCI-H187-Small cell lung cancer. The result corresponds with the former report that summarized A. graveolens
L., belonging to family Apicieace, has also been reported as anticancer (Zheng et al., 1992). Additionally,
Sharopov and co-worker in 2013 reported that essential oil from aerial part of A. graveolens L. showed
cytotoxicities for Hela (IC50= 93 μg/mL), Caco-2 (IC50= 216 μg/mL) and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50= 67 μg/mL).
Besides, the major components of AEo have been described about the potential for anticancer activity such as
limonene which is a well-estabilished chemopreventive and therapeutic agent against many tumor cells (Crowell,
1999; Fabian, 2001; Kris-Etherton et al.,2002). Then, carvone has been shown to prevent chemically-induced
lung and forestomach carcinoma development (Wattenberg et al., 1989). This information may be beneficial for
clinical studies and also could be used as a guide for the high advantages in the use of herbs for application of
pharmaceutical product development.

4. Conclusion
The essential oil of A. graveolens L. seeds revealed D-carvone, carvone, dill apiol and limonene as major
components with slightly different in relative content with former reports (Delaquis et al., 2002; Embong et al.,
1977; Jirovetz et al., 2003; Mahmoodi et al., 2012; Radulescu et al., 2010; Vokk et al., 2011). However, several
of mono-, di-, sesqui-terpenes were found in the essential oil of plants and the different groups of chemicals in
the essential oil, depending on many conditions, i.e., the growth stage, weather condition, etc. (Hay et al., 1988;
Svoboda and Hay, 1990). The biological activity of this essential oil distinctly showed positive effect. AEo
exhibited high total phenolic content (GAE= 4.5746 mg/mL) and antioxidant activities in each method of DPPH,
ABTS and FRAP assays with TEAC= 52.5391, 1.5936 and 0.5469 mg/mL respectively. The higher anti-oxidative
efficiency correlates with the quantity of total phenolic compound in plants (Mirghani et al., 2012).
The potency of A. graveolens L. seeds corresponds to the antimicrobial activity because the essential oil
consisted of terpenes which affect the levels of inhibition of microorganism (Aligiannis et al., 2001; Bardar et
al., 2004; Panizzi et al., 1993; Sivropoulou et al., 1996). AEo clearly showed potent activity against S. aureus
and E. coli at the MIC= 5.99 μg/mL and also showed ability against C. albicans (MIC= 29.78 μg/mL) and A.
flavus (MIC= 59.47 μg/mL). The antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms maybe due to effective
compounds of oxygenated monoterpene group, i.e., carvone, D-carvone and tran-dihydrocarvone, which are
present in this essential oil. Moreover, AEo exhibited non-cytotoxicity in normal cell. On the other hand, it
promoted anticancer activity on KB-Oral cavity cancer and MCF7-Breast cancer. This activity provides an
important role for clinical studies and may be advantageous in other directions about the use of medicinal herbs
that are grown in Thailand to high advantage.
