An enhanced efficacy of antibacterial wound dressings impregnated with bacterial cellulose-based microencapsulated lime (Citrus aurantiifolia) essential oil

Lime peel essential oil (LPO) exhibits promising antibacterial properties, yet its inherent instability limits its practical applications, necessitating effective encapsulation strategies. Microencapsulation provides protection and facilitates the controlled release of active compounds. This study developed LPO microcapsules via complex coacervation, employing gum arabic and gelatin as…

Onoceranoid Triterpenes of Lansium domesticum Corr. cv. Kokossan and Their Cytotoxicity against MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells

The onoceranoid triterpenes isolated from the kokossan fruit peels were studied in vitro using MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Three onoceranoids, namely 8,14-secogammacera-8(26),14-dien–3,21-diol (1), 3β-hydroxyonocera-8(26),14-dien-21-one (2) and α,γ-onoceradienedione (3), were obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of kokossan fruit peels. Compounds 1 –…
