abstract introduction: medicinal plants belong to lamiaceae family are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases which its treatment is linked to anti-oxidative agents. in this paper, antioxidant potentials of some lamiaceae species have been evaluated by two methods. methods: phosphomolybdate assay for total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant potenti...

The antimicrobial activity of three Salvia species, i.e. S. santolinifolia, S. hydrangea and S. mirzayanii, essential oils were investigated. The essential oils were obtained from the aerial parts of plants and analyzed by GC-MS. The main constituents of aforementioned species were alpha-pinene (72.4%), beta-pinene (6.6%) and limonene (5.3%); beta-caryophyllene (25.1%), 1,8-cineol (15.2%) and c...

Chemical studies of Praxelis clematidea R.M. King & Robinson resulted in the isolation of six flavones: Apigenine, genkwanine, 7,4'-dimethylapigenin, trimethylapigenin, cirsimaritin and tetramethylscutellarein, which were tested for their toxicity against Staphylococcus aureus SA-1199B, a strain possessing the NorA efflux pump. Efflux pumps are integral proteins of the bacterial membrane and ar...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Medicinal plants belong to Lamiaceae family are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases which its treatment is linked to anti-oxidative agents.

Galium species are used as diuretics, choleretics, against diarrhea and in the treatment of some stomach complaints, gout and epilepsy in folk medicine. Most of these species have been extensively investigated for antraquinones and iridoids but little is known about other bioactive compounds classes. Our research aimed to investigate the chemical composition of four Romanian species of Galium i...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary salvia mirzayanii supplementation on performance, carcass characteristics, internal organs and cecal microbial population in broilers. a total of 200, one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were fed five experimental diets containing different levels of s. mirzayanii (zero, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and one percent of diet) until 42 days of...
