Background & Aim:Caryopteris odorata is an aromatic shrub of family verbenaceae growing in tropical to subtropical regions. Various traditional applications of this plant have been documented guiding us to investigate the pharmacological activities and to further investigate the chemical composition. Experimental: Methanolic extract of aerial par...

antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of methanolic crude extracts from aerial parts of four arnebia species namely arnebia fimbriopetala, arnebia linearifolia, arnebia garandiflora, arnebia tubata were screened. total phenolic contents were determined by folin-ciocalteu procedure and ranged from 2.2 ± 0.13 (a. fimbriopetala) to 1.6 ± 1.0 mg (arnebia tubata) gallic acid µmol equi...

Garcinia atroviridis (Clusiaceae) has been used as a postpartum medication agent in folkloric medicine. However, its biological potential has not been fully evaluated. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant efficacies, cholinesterase enzyme inhibitory and antimicrobial activity of the stem bark extracts of G. atroviridis. Successive extraction was done using solvents of varied ...

the current study evaluated the general toxicity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of extracts obtained from the rhizomes of eremostachys azerbaijanica (labiatae) as well as analyzed the potent extracts using gc-ms. extracts of e. azerbaijanica in n-hexane, dichloromethane (dcm) and methanol (meoh) were prepared using a soxhlet apparatus. the antioxidant activity of the extrac...

Background and Objectives: Onion (Allium cepa L.) possesses aromas and flavours, which have made them one of important ingredients of food. In addition, recent publications have reported that onion and its extract have many biological properties such as antimicrobial and antioxidant.

Introduction: Increasing of food-related diseases has led to the perception of diet importance. Plant-derived products (especially tea) as important sources of antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds play a major role in reducing food pathogens. In this study, total phenolic content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of four tea extracts including green tea, white, black and red teas were ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effectiveness of methanolic extract and different fractions (n-butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) of C.intybus seeds. The antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against a panel of microorganisms (four bacterial strains, i.e. P. multocida, ...
