In the last decade, special attention has been paid to Artemisia (L.) genus plants, possibilities of using their medicinal raw material for therapeutic purposes. The aim research was determine variability phenolic compounds in four introduced L. species and evaluate antioxidant activity extracts vitro. highest total amount (297.37±9.18 mg RE/g DW) flavonoids (77.73±7.40 evaluated via spe...

Sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua L.) valorization is gaining importance due to the presence of health-promoting bioactive compound, artemisinin. Considering wide possible application artemisinin drug formulations, new, greener technologies in their production are welcome. In this study, was extracted from A. leaves using green extraction (ultrasound-assisted extraction, supercritical CO2 deep eu...

Background & Aims: In most cases, drugs used for the treatment of cancer are not effective or have unpleasant side-effects. This has forced scientists to find more effective drugs with less toxicity. Artemisia is an important medicinal plant in the world and anti-tumoral activity of some Artemisia species has been reported. This study was designed for evaluation of anti-tumoral effect of methan...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the 'acaricidal effect' of Zataria multiflora and Artemisia annua essential oils on Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus. METHODS This study was carried out in 2009 in the Laboratory of Parasitology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Shahrekord University, west central Iran. Six dilutions (5, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 µL/cm(3)) of both esse...

In our ongoing investigation into Artemisia annua for the treatment of malaria, we decided to study the possibility that synergism might enhance the efficacy of artemisinin. Our main objective was to test tea infusions and nonpolar extracts prepared from different A. annua varieties against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro in order to determine if synergism will increase the effectiveness of arte...

Artemisia annua hot water infusion (tea) has been used in in vitro experiments against P. falciparum malaria parasites to test potency relative to equivalent pure artemisinin. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometric analyses were employed to determine the metabolite profile of tea including the concentrations of artemisinin (47.5±0.8 mg L(-1)), dihydroartemisinic ac...

Indonesia is a country rich in biodiversity. Of several plants that can be used as alternative medicine to treat disease. The efficacy of health related having chemical compounds which are the result secondary metabolites contained these plants. One coumarin. Coumarins found almost all from roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. purpose this study was isolate identify coumarin In process isol...
