Artemisia species are one of the many traditional medicinal plants of Ethiopia used for the treatment of infectious and non-infectious health problems. In the present study, eight extracts prepared from leaves and aerial parts of four Artemisia species (Artemisia absinthium, A. abyssinica, A. afra, and A. annua) growing in Ethiopia were tested in vitro against bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma b...

physiological effect of five levels of water stress (0,-0.3,-6,-9 and -1.2mp) was studied on seed germination and tigella as well as radicule growth length in two different artemisia species namely: artemisia spicigera and artemisia fragrans. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. a total of 50 seeds were sown from each artemisia species. experimental design...

Objective: Our objective of this research work was to investigate antimicrobial activity of five species of traditionally used medicinal plants namely Adhatoda vasica, Artemisia annua, Cordia oblique, Croton bonplandianum and Euphorbia milli against different strains of bacteria and fungi which are known to cause various types of infectious diseases. Methods: Organic extracts of these plants le...

This study describes the chemical composition of the essential oil of Artemisia maritima (Am.Oil) and the pharmacological basis for its medicinal use in gut and airways disorders. Twenty five compounds, composing 93.7% of the oil, were identified; among these, chrysanthenyl propionate and elixene were identified for the first time from any Artemisia species. The Am.Oil (0.3-1.0 mg/mL) suppresse...

MATERIALS AND METHODS Crude extract of Artemisia vulgaris (Av.Cr) was studied in the isolated tissue preparations of rabbit jejunum and guinea-pig trachea, as well as in the in vivo castor oil-induced diar...

artemisia deserti krasch (a. deserti), artemisia aucheri (a. aucheri) and artemisia sieberi besser (a. sieberi) are three members of asteraceae (compositae) family, which grow widely in the even and high areas of birjand, iran. this study has attempted to compare the total antioxidant capacity of methanol extracts of these three plants using dpph (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavengi...

Shoot cultures of Artemisia annua L. were cultivated in three different micropropagation systems: an ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (UNMB), a modified ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (MUNMB) and solid culture in Magenta boxes. The shoots cultivated in the UNMB and MUNMB showed excellent growth. The dry weight increase (35 times) of shoot cultures in the MUNMB was higher than those (25 ...
