Because of the popularity of Echinacea as a dietary supplement, researchers have been actively investigating which Echinacea constituent or groups of constituents are necessary for immune-modulating bioactivities. Our prior studies indicate that alkylamides may play an important role in the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) production. High-performance liquid chromatography fractionation,...

The effect of gamma and microwave irradiation on antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Echinacea purpurea were investigated. In this study, all samples were exposed to gamma irradiation at doses 10, 15, 20 and 25 kGy and microwave irradiation at power of 100, 180 and 300 W for 5 min. In order to undergo the sequence expriments, the hydroalcoholic (EtOH 50%) extra...

Echinacea is a perennial plant that used for its phytotherapeutic potential. crops are often affected by invasive weeds. One of the most effective strategies in weed control use chemicals such as herbicides. However, herbicides also affect physiological and morphological processes Echinacea. For this reason, aim study was to determine effects different dosages (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 g ha...
