The daisy-like flowers of pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) are used to extract pyrethrins, a botanical insecticide with a long history of safe and effective use. Pyrethrum flowers also contain other potential defense compounds, particularly sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which represent problematic allergenic residues in the extracts that are removed by the pyrethrum industry. The STLs are...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Antibiotic therapy is the main choice in treatment of Escherichia coli induced infections. Using herbal medication is an alternative choice in treatment of diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of two traditionally used herbs in Iranian medicine, Anacyclus pyrethrum and Pistacia lentiscus L., on Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND ME...

The present study was carried out to evaluate CNS activity of ethanolic extract of roots of Anacyclus pyrethrum that includes general behavior studies, sedative, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, nootropic activity and antidepressant studies in rats. The results reveal potential neuropharmacological activity of Anacyclus pyrethrum as nootropic and also having antidepressant property. Further neuroch...

In this study, we investigated effects of Anacyclus pyrethrum L. aqueous root extracts on gonadotropins (LH, FSH) and testosterone serum in adult male rats. A total number of 60 male adult rats were divided randomly into five groups (n=12) including one control group (A), sham control (B) and three test groups (C, D and E). Test groups (C, D and E) received 50, 100, 150 mg/kg does of A. pyrethr...

pyrethrum (Roy, Ghosh and Chopra, 1941). The important point which came to light may be recapitulated. Pyrethrum prepared in the form of an extract by heating the powder in water or mixed with white vaseline proves fatal to lice, but fails to act on nits. This necessitates the continuation of the treatment during the whole period extending over the incubation period of eggs. Observations made i...

Background: As the state of Punjab has become endemic for dengue, this study was planned to determine susceptibility status two different classes adulticides and VGSC gene polymorphism in domain II Aedes aegypti. Methodology: Adult bioassays were performed with pyrethrum, deltamethrin malathion as per WHO protocol. AS-PCR sequencing carried out detect V1016G Kdr (Knockdown resistance) mutations...
