Leishmaniasis is a neglected public health problem caused by the protozoan species belonging to the genus Leishmania affecting mostly the poor populations of developing countries. The causative organism is transmitted by female sandflies. Cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral clinical manifestations are the most frequent forms of leishmaniasis. Chemotherapy still relies on the use of pentavale...

Background & Aim: Fabaceae plant family cow tail (Smirnovia iranica) is one of the valuable species of native shrubs and sand dunes in the central region of Iran which is consistent with the production of forage and soil conservation and creating a beautiful landscape; it has the active ingredients of medicinal values. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of some p...

In this study, the effects of different concentrations of silica nanoparticles (NPs) were studied on growth, membrane stability, and antioxidant properties of Matricaria chamomilla in vitro. The sterilized seeds were incubated in different concentrations of silica NPs (0, 2, 4, 6 g L-1<span st...

In the combination of 5-fluorophenyl-1, 3, 7, 9-tetra methyl pyrido [2, 3, d, d, 5, 6 di pyrimidine -2, 4, 6, and 8 tetron, there are 4 rings, respectively, ring that is attached to the halogen ring A and, respectively, a ring The lower and the right to the left of the ring A are called C, B, and D. Calculations and studies show that the amount of aromatics in halogen-ring A in all cases has th...

chalcone (1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-one) derivatives have been introduced as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. in the present study, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of eight novel compounds were evaluated in male mice and wistar rats by using the writhing and formalin-induced paw edema tests respectively. the activities of the compounds were compared with celecoxib as a referenc...

in some special cases, rubber compounds with high amounts of unsaturated elastomer are recommended with organic sulfur donors instead of mineral sulfurs. in this condition, activated sulfur is produced in situ and curingprocess is facilitated without accelerators. organic sulfur donor compounds have low thermal stability and in the vulcanization temperature produce free and activated sulfurs. t...

Background and aim: Extraction of natural antioxidant compounds has recently attracted the attention of researchers. Almond is one of the native products of  Iran, which annually during the process of production , large volumes of waste is achieved. The aim of this study is investigating the impact of two parameters (time and ethanol percentage) on the extraction of phenol and ...
