Dormancy and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Ferula gummosa Boiss (Apiaceae) and Teucrium polium L. (Labiatae). Seeds of both species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, HNO3, H2SO4, chilling and soaking with water at different temperatures. Germination of both species increased at higher concentrations of GA3. In the case of F. gummosa...

In this study, the effect of water and alcoholic (ethanol) extracts Caper Bush Capparis spinosa L., Cumine Cuminum cyminum L. , Black pepper Piper nigrum Sage Salvia sp. Cat thyme Teucrium polium plants on 4th instar larvae Culex quinquefasciatus have been evaluated .The results showed that extract P. had highest larvae, with 48h LC50 155. 9 ppm followed by ethanol C. 308.2 ,315.1and 791.4 resp...

Teucrium polium (Labiatae) is a plant that widely grows in Iran. Some of species of Teucrium are used for a considerable range of actions in traditional medicine and T. polium has frequently been used as anticonvulsant. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of T. polium ethanolic aqueous extracts and related fractions on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal e...

Abstract Teucrium polium has been used in traditional medicine around the world for centuries treatment of various conditions and diseases. Many studies have confirmed pharmacological effects its extracts, although immunomodulatory effect not investigated. Therefore, aim our study was to examine methanolic extract T. (TPE) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from healthy donor...

ABSTRACT Natural sources are microbiological species and medicinal plants, which could be potential new for development of drugs against different diseases. Coccidiosis affects many animals leads to great economic losses. Drug-resistant strains Eimeria have emerged because overuse misuse drugs. In vitro, using papillata oocyst earthworm (Eisenia fetida), we evaluated the anticoccidial anthelmin...

The anticancer activities of two Lebanese plant extract Micromeria fruticose (A) and Teucrium polium (B) their fractions were tested against MCF7 A549 cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Separation was carried out through column chromatography TLC analysis. Results showed that both plants possess a promising dose dependent inhibitory activity with IC50of A 28.52 26.47 μg/ml on cells respectively...

Teucrium Polium L. (TP) is widely used in traditional medicine of many countries including Iran. There are various reports about pharmacological properties of TP such as calcium antagonist, anti- ulcer, anti – diabetic. There are a few reports about possible toxicological effects of this plant. In the present study we designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of Teucrium Polium total extract...

Teucrium polium, a medicinal plant that belongs to the family Labiatae is widely used in folk medicine as antidiabetic, antibactrial and anti-inflammatory agent. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Teucrium polium on the mouse polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The animals were divided into five groups including four test and one control group, which orally received 50 and 100 mg/kg of aqueou...
