Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been used to identify indole-3-methanol in a purified buffer extract from etiolated seedlings of Pinus sylvestris L. Quantitative estimates obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, corrected for losses occurring during purification, indicated that etiolated seedlings of P. sylvestris contained 19.7 +/- 1.4 ...

Eleven heifers of the Purunã cattle breed were used to evaluate wound healing by second intention. An experimental wound excision model in bovines was created by means of a skin punch of diameter 2cm. The animals were topically treated for 17 days with a saline control or decoctions of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Aroeira mansa), Tabebuia avellanedae Lorentz ex Griseb (Ipê Roxo), and Caseari...

background and objective: parkinson’s disease (pd) is a common neurological disorder due to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons within pars compacta of substantia nigra (snc). with regard to protective effect of malva sylvestris (ms), this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of aquaeous extract of this plant in an experimental model of pd induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda). materials...

(malvaceae), an annual plant, has been already commonly used as a medicinal plant in iran. in the present work, we evaluate some bioactivities of the plant extracts. materials and methods the aired-dried plant flowers and leaves were extracted by soxhlet apparatus with n-hexane, dichloromethane and methanol. the antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and phytotoxic of the pl...

background and aim . gingivitis is a reversible inflammatory reaction seen with various degrees in most individuals aged 17 to 22 years. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of two herbal extracts on streptococcus salivarius and streptococcus sanguis. materials and methods . aqueous alcoholic root extracts of malva sylvestris and salvadora persica were prepared and tested on pseudom...

Tree water deficit estimated by measuring water-related changes in stem radius (DeltaW) was compared with tree water deficit estimated from the output of a simple, physiologically reasonable model (DeltaWE), with soil water potential (Psisoil) and atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) as inputs. Values of DeltaW were determined by monitoring stem radius changes with dendrometers and detrendi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the subcutaneous tissue response in rats and the antimicrobial activity of intracanal calcium hydroxide dressings mixed with different substances against E. faecalis. Fifty four rats were divided into three experimental groups according to the vehicle in the calcium hydroxide treatment: 0.4% chlorohexidine in propylene glycol (PG),Casearia sylvestris Sw in ...

over the past decade, the chemical behavior of flavonoids as antioxidants has become the subject ofintense experimental research. plants represent a main source of natural antioxidants that might serveas leads for the development of novel drugs. malva sylvestris l. known to have various medicinalproperties since several decade ago, were evaluated for their antioxidant compounds ,most of thesebi...
