background & aim: the major aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the essential oils from five medicinal plants. experimental: the hydro-distillation essential oils from five plant species, including satureja bachtiarica, zataria multiflora, thymus daenensis, thymus carmanicus, and ziziphora tenuior (lamiaceae) which are endemic in iran. in-vitro antibacterial tes...

BACKGROUND Fundamental in traditional postpartum recovery in Lao PDR is the use of hotbeds, mother roasting, steam sauna and steam baths. During these treatments medicinal plants play a crucial role, but little has been published about how the treatments are carried out precisely, which species are used, the medicinal properties of these species, and the medicinal efficacy of their chemical con...

nowadays, many antibiotics are being used to control infectious diseases. inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to emergence of resistant bacteria and problems such as a prolonged course of treatment. medicinal plants and their derivatives, as a good source of treatment, are effective against drug resistance. in this study we have evaluated the antimicrobial activity of herbal essential oils o...

These plant species are easily cultivable and their algicidal activity make them suitable candidate as biocontrol. This study aimed to identify effective algicidal compounds, practically new algicidal agents from essential oils of plants that could inhibit the growth of red tide microalgae. Prepare...

Due to the increase of the incidence of fungal infections in humans and the limitations of the available antimycotic drugs, among which the emergence of resistant strains, there is a need for the discovery of new antifungal agents. Plants, especially those used in Traditional Medicine, linked to an unmatched chemical diversity, either as pure compounds or as plant extracts, provide unlimited op...

Essential oils (EOs) are plant-derived aroma compounds with a wide range of biological activity, but their actions are slow, and they are typically unstable to light or heat, difficult to extract and so on. To find highly potential fungicides derived from natural EOs, a series of essential oil-based β-methoxyacrylate derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The target compounds have been...
