Article Abstract
Various thymol and carvacrol derivatives have been synthesized to test the anticancer activity potential. Computational methods including network pharmacology and molecular docking approaches were utilized to identify and assess the potential biological targets relating to cancer. Amongst the synthesized derivatives the ethoxy-cyclohexyl analogues were consistently the most active against a panel of 10 different cancer cell lines covering a variety of origins. Biological target predictions revealed the AKT1 protein to be a core and central target of the most active compounds. Molecular docking identified a binding pocket within this protein in which the most active compounds bind. The incorporation of computational analysis methods and conventional structure-activity approaches identified analogues of thymol and carvacrol with the highest anticancer potential, and analyzed their possible biological targets in a comprehensive manner.

Background: Microglia are brain resident cells that control neural network maintenance, damage healing, and brain development. Microglia undergo apoptosis, cytokine production, and reactive free radicals of oxygen (ROS) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. TRPM2 is activated by LPS-induced oxidative stress, but it is inhibited by carvacrol (CARV) and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA).

Carvacrol (CAR) is a naturally occurring bioactive compound that is chemically unstable, and microencapsulation technology effectively protects its active components. Casein (CS) and chitosan (CH) were used for the first time as carriers to encapsulate CAR, forming highly stable carvacrol microcapsules (CAR@CS-CH). Under conditions of a 1:1 mass ratio of CS to CH and a pH of 5.

Active films displayed substantial prospects to maintain quality of tropical fruits during storage and transportation. This study developed multifunctional composite films loaded with melatonin/carvacrol nanoemulsions (MCNE) in guar gum/pullulan polysaccharide (GP) matrixes. The SEM analysis showed that MCNE was uniformly dispersed in GP film matrixes, and formed dense and continuous phase structure.

Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the external auditory canal, predominantly caused by Candida spp. The increasing resistance of these pathogens to conventional antifungal agents requires the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches. This study was designed to assess the antifungal, anti-virulence, synergistic potential, and mechanism of action of Thymus vulgaris essential oil (EO) against Candida spp.
