Thymoquinone(TQ) VS Thymoquinol(THQ)
Thymoquinol, also known as dihydro-thymoquinone or thymohydroquinone, is a phenolic hydroquinone derivative of thymoquinone. Quinone is the first reduction product of thymoquinone and is a necessary by-product of nigra essential oil.
Thymoquinol (THQ), like thymoquinone, has antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella falciparum, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Benefits
Thymoquinone has a variety of benefits, some of which have been proven through scientific research. Here are the main benefits of Thymoquinone:
- Antioxidant Effects: Thymoquinone has powerful antioxidant effects that help protect cells from free radical damage, thereby reducing inflammation and the risk of chronic disease.
- Anti-inflammatory effect: Thymoquinone can reduce the inflammatory response and reduce the pain and discomfort caused by inflammation. This makes it potentially valuable in treating a range of inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Anti-tumor effect: Some studies have shown that Thymoquinone has an inhibitory effect on a variety of cancer cells, preventing the growth and spread of cancer cells and promoting the apoptosis of cancer cells. This makes it a possible anti-cancer drug candidate.
- Immunomodulatory effect: Thymoquinone can regulate immune system function and enhance the body's immunity. This helps prevent infection and improves the body's resistance.
- Anti-allergic effect: Thymoquinone can reduce allergic reactions and reduce allergic symptoms, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Nigella Sativa Seed Extract Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of thymoquinone begins with the raw material, typically the black seed of the Nigella sativa plant. The seeds are then crushed and refined to remove impurities. The refined filtration process helps to purify the thymoquinone and increase its purity. Next, the thymoquinone is extracted using ethyl alcohol. This step helps to preserve the beneficial compounds in the thymoquinone. Finally, the thymoquinone is purified through a process of advanced filtration. This step ensures that the thymoquinone is of the highest quality and purity.
