background & aim: allium sativum commonly known as garlic is an herb used over years to prevent from various ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders and also enhances the immune system. the aim of the present study is to study the in vitro antiarthritic and antihemolytic potential of garlic in aqueous and methanolic extracts. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was per...

it has been investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties of ethanol extracts of the contained-allantoin plants in this study. contained-allantoined plant samples plantago lanceolata, plantago major, robinia pseudoacacia, platanus orientalis and aesculus hippocastanum were tested at different concentrations. the antioxidant activities of plant samples were analysed by 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylh...

the aim of this study is to formulate a novel ophthalmic nanosuspension (ons), an alternative carrier system to traditional colloidal carriers for controlled release (cr) of acyclovir (acv). in the present study, ons is employed to avoid some of major disadvantages of colloidal carriers systems such as instability in cul de sac and short half life by increasing efficiency of drug encapsulation ...

the present investigation was focused to formulate semi-solid capsules (sscs) of hydrophobic drug telmisartan (tlms) by encapsulating semi-solid matrix of its solid dispersion (sd) in hpmc capsules. the combinational approach was used to reduce the lag time in drug release and improvise its dissolution. sds of tlms was prepared using hot fusion method by varying the combinations of pluronic-f68...

background: the aim of this study was to assess effects of cysteamine as an anti-oxidant on rate of in vitro maturation of oocyte and determination of its effects on spindle size and shape. methods: pre-mature mice were primed with pregnant mare stimulating gonadotrophin (pmsg) and germinal vesicle (gv) stage oocytes were obtained 48 h after. the oocytes were cultured in tissue culture medium (...

background: based on literature, in vitro cholesterol removal of lactic acid bacteria has been accounted for their in vivo cholesterol reduction. but recently, it has been proposed that such in vitro characteristic may not be directly relevant to their in vivo activity. the objective of this study was to find how much in vitro cholesterol reducing potential of lactobacillus plantarum a7 (la7), ...

background: leishmaniasis has been identified as a major public health problem in tropical and sub-tropical countries. the present study was aimed to investigate antileishmanial effects of various extracts of berberis vulgaris also its active com-poenent, berberine against leishmania tropica and l. infantum species on in vitro ex-periments. methods : in this study in vitro antileishmanial activ...

background and objectives: current chemotherapies of cutaneous leihmaniasis have faced to some problems and limitations; development of new leishmanicidal drugs from different sources like herbal plants, are crucially important. the objective of the present study was evaluation of in vitro activity of alkanna frigida extracts in comparison with glucantime against leishmania major . materials an...

in order to optimize the micropropagation of qare-qat (vaccinium arctostaphylus j.j.sm), samples were collected from two regions of iran (asalem and kelardasht). anderson (an) media containing different concentrations of zeatin (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg l-1) and different levels of ph (4.5, 5 and 5.5) were compared. the in vitro shoots were transferred on an media supplemented with zeatin (1 and 2...

background: endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. our previous study showed that in vitro culture of human endometrial tissue in a three-dimensional (3d) fibrin matrix could mimic the early stages of endometriosis with invasion gland and stroma formation and sprouting of new vessels. objective: the objective of the present study ...
