Abstract
ABSTRACT The protective properties of the extract of Monarda fistulosa var. menthifolia were tested when used together with the antitumor drug etoposide on Drosophila melanogaster. 1%, 10% extracts of M. fistulosa var. menthifolia were tested, separately and together with etoposide at 800 µg kg−1 of nutrient medium. The genotoxic effect was determined using the SMART method. Cytotoxicity was determined by assessing regulated cell death (RCD). While the extract of M. fistulosa var. menthifolia at 1% (20 mg mL−1) did not show genotoxicity, and had antigenotoxicity, reducing the genetic activity of the anticancer drug etoposide, at 10% (200 mg mL−1) it showed geno- and cytotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
