Antitrypanosomal Activity of <i>Anthriscus</i> Nemorosa Essential Oils and Combinations of Their Main Constituents
This study aimed to investigate the susceptibility of <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> to the <i>Anthriscus nemorosa</i> essential oils (EOs), isolated compounds from these oils, and artificial mixtures of the isolated compounds in their conventional and nanoencapsulated forms. The...
