some plant extracts have been reported to exhibit antimicrobial properties. plant based pesticides appear to be an alternative for the synthetic pesticides because of their less dangerous impacts. the objective of this study was to assess the inhibitory activity of brassica napus water extract on mycelial growth of six phytopathogenic fungi rhizoctonia solani, phythophtora drechseleri, pythium ...

results in vitro analysis showed that the greater the concentration of the extract, the greater the cytotoxicity. conclusions the crude extract of p. australis might be cytotoxic at high concentrations as evaluated against the cell line. materials and methods the mtt cytotoxicity assay was performed on a 3t3 mouse fibroblast cell line to measure the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the crude form...

Extracts of Desmodium adscendens (Sw) DC are used for the treatment of various diseases but limited toxicological evaluations have been done on the medicinal plant. This study investigates toxicity effects of the leave extract of D adscendens, and the possibility of drug-drug interaction of the plant extract when co-administered with other drugs. Oral administrations of leaf extract of D adscen...

Mazus japonicus is an important plant of Scrophulariaceae family. In the present research work, the dichloromethane and methanol crude extracts of the plant Mazus japonicus were evaluated for phytotoxic, cytotoxic, antifungal and antibacterial activities. Both dichloromethane and methanol extracts of Mazus japonicus inhibited the growth of Lemna minor L. and showed significant phytotoxic activi...

Understanding the potential for adverse drug reactions (ADRs), from herb-drug interactions, is a key aspect of medicinal plant safety, with particular relevance for public health in countries where medicinal plant use is highly prevalent. We undertook an in-depth assessment of extracts of Hyptis verticillata Jacq., via its impact on activities of key cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (CYPs 1A1, 1A2...

(family lamiaceae) popularly named rosemary, is a common household plant grown around the world, including iran. rosemary aerial parts are used as flavoring agent in foods, beverages, and cosmetic preparations and have various traditional uses in ethnomedicine including: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, spasmolytic, carminative and choleretic applications....

the effect of mentha spicata l. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 m hcl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (ie). the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

Prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of a combination of Capsicum frutescens (red pepper), Citrus limon (lemon) and Opuntia vulgaris (prickly pear) against Newcastle disease (ND) in domestic fowl were evaluated. Eighty-eight broiler chickens were divided into five groups. Birds from three groups were inoculated with velogenic ND virus strain, whereas birds from two groups were left as controls...

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of beta glucan, the plant extract, Vitabio A, and the plant extract with probiotic Lactobacillus spp. (Vitabio B) on the growth, histology and immune response of Labeo rohita (Rohu), reared for 120 days in a flow through system. Fish with an average body weight of 264±2.65g were stocked in cemented tanks at 10 fish/replicate. Four iso-nitroge...

background: medicinal plants (especially belong to lamiaceae family) are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases whose treatment is associated to anti-oxidative agents. in this paper, the ferric reducing ability of plasma (frap) activity of some lamiaceae and apiaceae species, has been evaluated. methods: aerial parts of the plants were dried, cut into small pieces a...
