Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) is a Mediterranean species, naturalized in many countries. In Jordan, it used traditional medicine as antiseptic, antiscabies, antisyphilitic, and anti-inflammatory, being frequently against skin diseases. This study aimed the assessment of antifungal anti-inflammatory potential its essential oils, their cytotoxicity on macrophages keratinocytes. The oils were investigated by gas chromatography chromatography-mass spectrometry activity was evaluated yeasts,...
Abstract In recent decades, the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and analogous compounds has been intensively investigated. The endocannabinoid system already identified in skin and, although much remains to be discovered about its contribution importance for maintenance homeostasis, it increasingly associated as promising dermatological disorders’ management. Cannabidiol (CBD), main non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid cannabis, shown have hydrating, sebostatic, antipruritic,...
Background/Objectives: Côa Valley, located in the northeast of Portugal, harbors more than 500 medicinal plant species. Among them, four species stand out due to their traditional uses: Equisetum ramosissimum Desf. (hemorrhages, urethritis, hepatitis), Rumex scutatus L. subsp. induratus (Boiss. and Reut.) Malag. (inflammation, constipation), Geranium purpureum Vill., lucidum (pain relief, gastric issues). Given rich ethnomedicinal history, we evaluated protective effects on an vitro model...

Essential oils are known to possess antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi. In the present work composition antifungal Juniperus communis subsp. alpina (Suter) Čelak were evaluated. Moreover, skin cytotoxicity, at concentrations showing significant activity, was also The isolated by hydrodistillation analysed gas chromatography chromatography–mass spectrometry. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) minimal lethal (MLC) used evaluate oil dermatophytes (...
The reduction of the particle size drugs pharmaceutical interest down to nano-sized range has dramatically changed their physicochemical properties. greatest disadvantage nanocrystals is inherent instability, due risk crystal growth. Thus, selection an appropriate stabilizer crucial obtain long-term physicochemically stable nanocrystals. High pressure homogenization enormous advantages, including possibility scaling up, lack organic solvents and production small particles diameter with low...
