Abstract | ||||
Long times ago, anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) plant, which belonging to umbelliferae family, was used in Egyptian folk medicine. In the current study, the effects of yeast extract as an elicitor and phenylalanine as a precursor on the accumulation of bioactive constituents in anise callus cultures were documented by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. It is revealed that P. anisum callus extracts contain different biologically active compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer potential. Cytotoxicity of anise callus extracts was studied to illuminate the vital assignment of many active constituents in diminution of the breast cancer growth and also their antitumor activity. | ||||
