Background & Aim: Thymus daenensis Celak. is one of the herbal and  perennial medicinal plants belonging to Lamiaceae which grows widely in Isfahan and Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari provinces. All of its floral on aerial part has extensive use in preparing traditional medicines. The major constitutes of Thymus daenensis Celak. are thymol and carvacrol. Since ecolo...

in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...

Cyclic monoterpenes are a group of phytochemicals with antinociceptive, local anesthetic, and anti-inflammatory actions. Effects of cyclic monoterpenes including vanilin, pulegone, eugenole, carvone, carvacrol, carveol, thymol, thymoquinone, menthone, and limonene were investigated on the functional properties of the cloned α7 subunit of the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expressed in X...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of extracts (aqueous, ethanolic and essential oil) from Satureja montana and to characterise the chemical composition of its essential oil. RESULTS Satureja montana L. essential oil had relatively high antimicrobial activities against the seven species of bacteria tested. In contrast, aqueous extracts did not r...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Satureja montana essential oil of Romanian origin (S. montana EO). The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation from dried aerial parts of cultivated plants in northeastern Romania. The chemical composition of S. montana EO was analysed by GC and GC-MS. The main compounds were carvacrol (...

Abstract Carvacrol is a major component of many essential oils the genus Thymus, Satureja, and Origanum , determining their antimicrobial, antioxidant, other properties. The aim present study was to investigate some physicochemical biological properties pure carvacrol. surface tension density were measured at six different temperatures (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80°C). values between 53.11 60.38 mN/m...

biofilm is a community of bacteria which are attaching to a surface. they are responsible for many of catheter related or dental plaque related infectious diseases. different approaches have been used for preventing biofilm related infections in health care settings. many of these methods have disadvantages such as chemical based complications, and emergent antibiotic resistant strains. therefo...

an important part of plant in vitro techniques is the sterilization of explants and the maintenance of aseptic conditions. ideally, sterilizing materials should be effective on a vast range of microorganisms at low density. nowadays, the use of compounds such as essential oils (eos) and nanoparticles is applicable in microbiology studies. the main objective of this experiment was to study the s...
