BACKGROUND Artemisia aerial parts are well known for antimicrobial activities including anti malaria. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oil from the seeds of Artemisia aucheri Boiss (Asteraceae). MATERIALS AND METHODS Essential oil was extracted from the powdered seeds of Artemisia aucheri by hydrodistillation....

Allergic rhinitis or hay fever, is the most frequently occuring airway disease of our time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate of the allergenicity effect of Artemisia aucheri extract. In this research, flowrs of Artemisia aucheri were collected from Isfahan around, Iran in September 2012. Flowes were extracted using phosphate-buffered saline, PH 7.4. Three concentration of extrac...

In the present study, changes of total phenolic concentration and radical-scavenging activity were evaluated in the shoots of Artemisia aucheri -a medicinal plantthat had been exposed as seeds to magnetic fields (90 or 200 mT for 5 and 20 min) and that were irrigated for one month with NaCl (150 mM) under glasshouse conditions. Total phenolic content and radical-scavenging activity decreased in...

BACKGROUND Drug resistance in malaria parasites is extending in the world particularly in chemical synthesized drugs such as 4- aminoquinolines and aminoalcoholes. Employing herbal extracts is encouraged by WHO in the malarious areas. In this study, the effectiveness of ethanolic extract of Artemisia aucheri individually and in combination with chloroquine, has been considered against chloroqui...

Ten extracts with different polarity from two Iranian Artemisia species, A. armeniaca Lam. and A. aucheri Boiss, were screened for their antimalarial properties by in vitro   β -hematin formation assay. Dichloromethane (DCM) extracts of both plants showed significant antimalarial activities with IC50 values of 1.36±0.01 and 1.83±0.03 mg/mL and IC90 values of 2.12±0.04 and 2.62±0.09 mg/mL for A....

Degradation of plant patches is considered as one of the indices for rangeland degrading health condition. Investigating the accuracy of triple indices (infiltration, stability and soil nutrient cycle) presented by LFA method seems necessary to determine its efficiency in semi-arid areas with the least cost. This study aims to investigate the role of vegetative species and growing forms on soil...
