Hairy roots induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes are distinguished their high growth rate, genetic stability, and lateral branching. Datura metel is an important medicinal plant whose hairy used for the production of atropine, a tropane alkaloid applied as anticholinergic parasympathetic agent. To increase yield biotic (Bacillus cereus Staphylococcus aureus) abiotic (AgNO_3 nanosilver) elicitors were added to root cultures D. then analyzed through high-performance liquid chromatography. All...

The volunteers randomly equally divided into treatment control groups. first group, extract-impregnated sterile gauze used while second extract-free...

Artemisia aerial parts are well known for antimicrobial activities including anti malaria.This study was carried out to evaluate the activity and chemical composition of essential oil from seeds aucheri Boiss (Asteraceae).Essential extracted powdered by hydrodistillation. Antimicrobial against five bacterial species tested using disc diffusion method, analyzed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The seed showed Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes. The...

There is an ever-growing need to develop green, non-toxic, and eco-friendly procedures for synthesis assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) with the desired morphologies sizes. The hydroalcoholic extract Persian oak leaves [Quercus brantii Lindl. (Fagaceae)] contains high content phenolic flavonoid compounds strong antioxidant activities, it seems that this plant can be considered a good candidate metal nanoparticle synthesis.The potential Q. in production silver NPs effect ethanol concentration on...

Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori. is a tropical tree growing in southeast of Iran. All parts this plant have nutritional uses and pharmacological activities. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect hydroalcoholic extract from leaves M. dexamethasone (Dex)-induced hypertension rats.Male Wistar rats received Dex (30 μg/kg, subcutaneously; s.c.) or saline (as vehicle, 1 ml/kg, for 14 days. In prevention study, (100, 200 400 mg/kg, orally) 4 days, followed by reversal animals...

The hydrodistilled oil of the aerial parts Echiophora platyloba DC. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Ten components have been identified, which major constituents were found to be trans-β-ocimene (67.9%), 2-furanone (6.2%), myrcene (6.0%), linalool (3.1%), cis-β- ocimene (2.3%). Keyword: Echinophora platyloba; Umbelliferae; Essential composition; Trans-β- ocimene.

Many of the plants from Lamiaceae family have been traditionally used as medicine all over world. Also, some secondary metabolites isolated this shown interesting biological function. In study we analyzed phytochemicals frequently in folk Aligudarz region Lorestan province. regard, plant species were collected and systematically identified during 2014-2015. The traditional local uses questioned through informed consent semi-structured interviews with informants. Phytochemical analysis was...
