BACKGROUND Coriandrum sativum has been used in the traditional systems of medicine for management of arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. OBJECTIVES In this study, we have evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anti-granuloma activities of Coriandrum sativum hydroalcoholic extract (CSHE) in experimental models. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-inflammatory activity of CSHE was evaluated u...

The present study describes antioxidant effect of Coriandrum sativum against lead nitrate induced toxicity in mice. Oxidative stress was induced in mice by a daily dose of lead nitrate (40 mg/kg body weight by oral gavage) for seven days. From day eight, after lead nitrate treatment, experimental animals received an oral dose of coriander extracts (aqueous extract 300 mg/kg body weight and 600 ...

Recently, 6-(2-naphthyl)-2, 3-dihydro-as-triazine-3-thione (NDTT) was synthesized in laboratory and used successfully for the spectrophotometric determination of nanogram levels of Cu2+ in aqueous solution. This reagent forms a specific red complex with Cu2+ ions after the extraction by chloroform at alkaline pH. The absorption of the complex in the UV region (313 nm) is about 8 times as strong...

OBJECTIVE In the present work, the effects of different fractions of Coriandrum sativum (C. sativum), on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The rats were divided into the following groups: (1) vehicle, (2) PTZ (90 mg/kg), (3) water fraction (WF) of C. sativum (25 and 100 mg/kg), (4) n-butanol fraction (...
