Melatonin is a hormone that exhibits many bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, and anti-aging activity. In addition, melatonin has been used to strengthen the effect of drugs or agents for treatment in different disease models cancer, tumor, bacterial infection, autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal diseases. According recent s...

background and objectives: the aerial part extracts of eremostachys macrophylla  from labiatae family, which has been traditionally used in wound healing, snake bites, rheumatism and joint pains, were investigated for general toxicity, anti-proliferative, free radical scavenging and anti-bacterial effects.moreover, preliminary phytochemical investigations were carried out on the extracts. metho...

BACKGROUND Bamboo leaf extract solution (BLES) and sodium copper chlorophyllin solution (SCCS) are known for their anti-oxidant activities. Oral malodor is often related with periodontal pathogens. The present study was undertaken to investigate the anti-bacterial effect of both BLES and SCCS on anaerobic periodontal bacteria producing oral malodorous volatile sulfur compounds (VSC). METHODS ...

Background: Microbial infections and the resistance to antibacterial drugs are on the rise, and scientists are in search of the safest and most effective approach to overcome them. Medicinal plants are potentially effective against many microorganisms. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of the extracts of Allium sativum and Myrtus communis...

Purpose: Systemic doxycycline has been prescribed to reduce inflammation and enhance corneal healing in bacterial keratitis. Topical autologous serum drops (ASD) containing following oral supplementation may additionally confer an anti-bacterial effect. The potential of this was evaluated by determining the vitro susceptibility keratitis isolates doxycycline. Methods: minimum inhibitory concent...

Fluoroquinolones are one of the most promising and vigorously pursued areas of contemporary antiinfective chemotherapy depicting broad spectrum and potent activity. They have a relatively simple molecular nucleus, which is amenable to many structural modifications. These agents have several favorable properties such as excellent bioavailability, good tissue penetrability and a relatively low in...

Berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid mainly extracted from Rhizoma Coptidis, which is an efficient therapeutic agent to combat bacterial infections. However, bioactive assay manifested that berberine exhibited poor effect on antibacterial properties. In the present paper, we reviewed the multiple activities of berberine, including inhibition of biofilm formation, anti-inflammation effect, and ...
