Antiangiogenic Activity of Sweet Almond (Prunus dulcis) Oil Alone and in Combination with Aspirin in both in vivo and in vitro Assays.

Objective: Angiogenesis is new blood vessels formations that are necessary for certain physiological and pathologic conditions. Almond oil represents adjuvant therapies for numerous health benefits; It has ability for prevent the formation angiogenesis in tumour, due to its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, flavonoids and other ingredients content. Aspirin is non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drug; significantly reduce the angiogenesis of cancer. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of Prunus dulcis oil alone and in combination with aspirin, as an anti-angiogenic. Method: A sequential concentrations ex-vivo rat aorta ring assay, investigate the anti-angiogenic activity of Prunus dulcisoil in vivo. After three days of incubation, small holes were created on the fine pinpoint. Acute toxicity study was evaluated after administration of Prunus dulcis oil via intraperitoneal route. Results: the obtained results displayed that the serial concentration dose-response has a significant inhibition effect of blood vessels growth when compared to the negative control (DMSO 1%), the dose depended percentage of inhibition, sweet almond oil in combination with aspirin synergism effect to inhibition growth blood vessels as anti-angiogenic activity. The zone of inhibition was been measured as the mean of inhibition area of blood vessel on eggs in millimetre (mm) ± standard deviation. Conclusion: Almond oil dose has inhibition effect on cancer and can be used as (anti-angiogenesis), the activity of almond oil with Aspirin synergism can significantly reduce blood vessel’s growth in rate aorta ring and CAM assay.
