Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a sore in the lining of stomach or duodenal mucosa. This study was aimed at evaluating antiulcer activity aqueous extract Nigella sativa (black seed) and its constitutents. The pharmacognostic properties dry seeds were determined. extracted using two methods digestion hydro-distillation. acute toxicity, phytochemical constituents evaluation performed on ethanol-ind...

The anti-ischemic effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Nigella sativa L. seed was studied using a four-vessel occlusion model in rats. The ischemia was evaluated by optical and transmission electron microscopy. After 20 min of forebrain ischemia, agents were administered intraperitoneally after reperfusion. Both extracts comprised an alkaloid. In ischemic rats, the aqueous (1 g/kg) and e...

BACKGROUND Several compounds obtained from plants have potential insecticidal, growth deterrent or repellent characteristics. The control of hard ticks by non-chemical substances was targeted in this study. METHODS The effect of 36 materials on in-vitro ticks was studied, including 2 absolute controls (water only or absolute ethyl alcohol only), 6 conventionally used spinosad preparations (aq...

It is estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) that most of the world's population depends on herbal medicine for their health care. Nigella sativa (N. sativa), also known as black-caraway and as "Kalonji," is a well-known seed all over the world. It is one of the most common medicinal plants worldwide and contains many useful chemical constituents that we can find in its fixed oil, suc...

AIM/BACKGROUND Thymoquinone (TQ) is the major active principle of Nigella sativa seed (black seed) and is known to control many fungi, bacteria, and some viruses. However, the activity of TQ against anaerobic bacteria is not well demonstrated. Anaerobic bacteria can cause severe infections, including diarrhea, aspiration pneumonia, and brain abscess, particularly in immunodeficient individuals....

in a sustainable agriculture system, application of the fertilizers which are nature friendly and suitable for plants is essential. this becomes more important when dealing with medicinal plants. therefore, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was set up in the 2012-2013 on nigella sativa l. treatments were nano­fertilizer (pharmks®) (at 2 levels ...

The aim of the study is to compare effects Salvia hispanica (Chia) seed and Nigella sativa (Black Cumin) in traditionally produced dry fermented sausages with reduced nitrites on changes physicochemical parameters (water content, pH, water activity), thioarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color parameters, content nitrosopigments, microbial counts throughout production process. At end ...
