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...

methanolic and aqueous extracts of dendrophthoe falcata linn. leaves which belongs to the loranthaceae family, were evaluated through dpph (1, 1-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl), antilipid peroxidation and nitric oxide scavenging methods to assess the antioxidant activity. methanolic and aqueous extracts of dendrophthoe falcata leaves were also evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by carr...

Prevention of malignant disease such as cancer is obviously much more important than therapy, so primary prevention tactics should be invoked with the greatest possible effort. Because delaying a disease such as cancer is somehow equivalent to cure and it is now generally accepted that cancer can be managed through chemopreventive interventions. Since a considerable number of known cancer chemo...

Selenium plays an important role in biological system due to its incorporation in glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductase as prosthetic group, the pharmacological studies of synthetic organoseleno-compounds revealed these molecules to be used as antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, neuroprotectors, antitumor, anti-infectious agents, cytokine inducers and immuno-modulators. The present stu...
