(+)-cis-Sabinene hydrate and (+)-trans-sabinene hydrate are the main monoterpenes found in marjoram (Origanum majorana), but can also be found in other Origanum species as well, as in e.g. Melaleuca alternifolia. The synthesis of sabinene hydrate in marjoram (Origanum majorana) is performed by sabinene hydrate synthase. It is claimed, that both, (+)-cis- and (+)-trans-sabinene hydrate are produ...

the aim of our work was to compare cytotoxic and membrane-damaging effects of o. majorana l. essential oil and linalool on hep g2 and to investigate their possible protective (antioxidant) effects against h2o2 induced membrane damage. the oils were investigated by gc and gc-ms and antioxidant activity was evaluated by dpph and -carotene–linoleic acid assays. assessment of cell viability was ma...

Origanum majorana L. (Family Lamiaceae) is a frost tender perennial undershrub, native to Cyperus and naturalised in Mediterranean regions, particularly found in temperate regions of the Himalayas. Its usage for flavour and aroma dates back to ancient times. Traditionally, the leaves of marjoram are used for its medicinal properties to cure insomnia, gastritis, asthma and nervousness. Now-a-day...

In-vitro microbicidal activity of the methanol extract of Origanum majorana L. was tested against seven fungi (Fusarium solani, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, A. parasiticus, Rhizopus oryzae, Rhizoctonia otyzae-sativae and Altemaria brassicicola) and six bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, Escherichia coil, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus). The m...

We study a new type of three-dimensional topological superconductor that exhibits Majorana zero modes (MZM) protected by a magnetic group symmetry, a combined antiunitary symmetry composed of a mirror reflection and time reversal. This new symmetry enhances the noninteracting topological classification of a superconducting vortex from Z2 to Z, indicating that multiple MZMs can coexist at the en...

Background: Many plants possess therapeutic properties against infectious and non-infectious diseases, including cancer inflammatory diseases. Plants may have immunomodulatory properties, too. In this study, we evaluated the effects toxic of ethanolic extract from Lamiaceae family on macrophage, lymphocyte, B Cell Leukemia (BCL-1) in vitro. Materials Methods: Plant samples were purchased, their...

Genus Origanum is an aromatic plant used in folk medicine and as a culinary herb, whose composition of volatile compounds is influenced by the type of species and geographical locations. This research evaluates the effect of altitude on the composition of volatile compounds and the contents of carvacrol and thymol of Origanum x majoricum Cambess and Origanum majorana L. fi...
