Crude extracts or phytochemicals obtained from some plants have potential anti-cancer properties. Teucrium persicum is an Iranian endemic plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family which has traditionally been used to relieve abdominal pains. However, the anti-cancer properties of this species of the Teucrium genus have not been investigated previously. In this study, we have used a highly invasiv...

The present study evaluated the potential benefit of supplementation with Heracleumpersicum as an adjunctive therapy to atorvastatin in dyslipidemic subjects. In a randomized, open-label, clinical trial, 100 dyslipidemic subjects were randomly assigned to: (1) H. persicum group (n=50, completers=18), receiving H. persicum extract (500 mg/day) + atorvastatin (10 mg/day) for 8 weeks, or (2) atorv...

Background: Nowadays, finding natural compounds with antimicrobial properties against pathogens is very important, especially for the food and drug industries. Objectives: The antibacterial activity of chitosan coatings nanoemulsion (NE) containing Zataria multiflora Bunium persicum essential oils (EOs) was evaluated in a model (chicken breast fillets) during 15 days refrigerated storage. Metho...

background: we evaluated the in vivo activity of bunium persicum (boiss) essential oil on infected mice with acute toxoplasmosis. methods: to evaluate prophylactic effects, male nmri mice received b. persicum essential oil at the concentrations of 0.05 and 0.1 ml/kg for 14 days . after 24 h mice were infected intraperitonealy with 1×10 4 tachyzoites of t. gondii, rh strain. in order to investig...
