Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association LC50 values from the brine shrimp test correlated with acetogenin concentration in Asimina triloba twigs.
- Observation May, June and July were the top three months for acetogenin production in Asimina triloba.
- Association Bullatacin content in Asimina triloba twigs increased significantly in May and June, at 13 and 15 ppm.
- Association The mixture of asimicin and trilobacin in Asimina triloba twigs increased significantly in May and June, at 47 and 51 ppm.
- Observation Thymoquinone was identified as one of the most bioactive compounds in the brine shrimp test of Monarda fistulosa fractions.
- Observation Thymol was identified as one of the most bioactive compounds in the brine shrimp test of Monarda fistulosa fractions.
- Intervention effect Thymoquinone showed selective cytotoxicity towards the PC-3 prostate tumor cell line, with an ED50 comparable to Adriamycine.
- Observation Thymoquinone displayed interesting selectivities in the NCI 60 human tumor cell panel.
- Observation Thymol was not cytotoxic.
- Intervention effect Thymol showed pesticidal activity comparable to rotenone.
