Project description:Background and Study:Cumin seed oil (extracted from Cuminum cyminum) has many applications but conclusive evidence of its therapeutic uses has not been presented. This study has explored the anticancer and antibacterial properties of the seed oil. Methods:The cumin nanoemulsion was prepared with Tween 80 non-ionic surfactant employing ultra-sonication technology. The anticancer activity of the nanoscale-based emulsion was evaluated through cell viability (MTT), antiproliferation evaluation through clonogenic assay, and apoptosis through Annexin V-FITC assay. Agar well diffusion was used to study the antimicrobial activity, and this was supported by membrane integrity analysis. Results:A thorough study of process parameters, aimed at obtaining the optimal surface concentration and emulsification time, was completed. GC-MS data indicated cumaldehyde as a major component. The resultant droplet diameter after a sonication time of 5 min was 10.4 ± 0.5 nm. MTT assay revealed the IC50 value at 1.5 µL/mL and the early induction of apoptosis was evident. Tongue carcinoma cell line treated with cumin nanoemulsion presented a diminished colony formation. The nanoemulsion exhibited significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus. A significant cytoplasmic leakage was observed on treatment with cumin nanoemulsion. The consequences of the analysis projected cumin as a potential component for cancer therapy. Conclusion:This study provides definitive evidence for cumin essential oil nanoemulsion as a legitimate plant-based medicine that can bypass the drawbacks of the present aggressive treatment of cancer, can overcome the antimicrobial resistance, and can also meet all prerequisites.

Project description:Cuminum cyminum (Apiaceae) is an economically important plant, whose fruits are usually used as flavoring, and also have pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, and so on. In this study, we assembled and annotated complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. cyminum. The results showed that the complete cp genome of C. cyminum was 157,839 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,927bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,598bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 28,157bp. In total, 131 genes were annotated, comprising of 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. cyminum belongs to the tribe Scandiceae, and showed close relationship with Daucus carota.
