چکیده
Dandruff caused by Malassezia spp is controlled by antifungal agents. In the present study four medicinal plantsTerminalia bellerica, Terminalia chebula, Emblica officinalis and Lantana camarawere selected to check their antifungal activity. Their efficacy was tested using different concentrations of extracts in various solvents. The antifungal activity of the plant extracts was determined by well diffusion method. Among the four plants screened, Terminalia bellerica and Terminalia chebula exhibited good antifungal action against the test organism. Emblica officinalis and Lantana camara did not show significant antidandruff activity. Aqueous and ethanolic extract of a combination of Terminalia bellerica with Lantana camara, and Terminalia chebula with Lantana camara were tested for their synergistic antidandruff activity. Results of the synergistic studies indicated that synergy exists between ethanolic extracts of Terminalia chebula and Lantana camara. From the study, it was found that Terminalia bellerica and Terminalia chebula act as the good sources of antidandruff agents. K. P.

متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of PLA-PEG-PLA/PEI/DNA Nanoparticles for Improvement of Transfection Efficiency and Controlled Release of DNA in Gene Delivery Systems
Tri-block poly (lactide) poly(ethylene glycol) poly(lactide) (PLA–PEG–PLA) copolymers are among the most attractive nano-carriers for gene delivery into mammalian cells, due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. However, the low efficiency of the gene delivery by these copolymers is an obstacle to gene therapy. Here, we have investigated nanoparticles formulated using the p...
