in order to find the plant extracts with antifungal activity, 18 plant species were screened. in this study, distilled water, methanol, chloroform, aceton and ethanol were employed to obtain crude extract from plant samples. the extracts were tested against sugar beet root rot agents, rhizoctonia solani and phytophthora drechsleri. the inhibitory effect of different extracts was investigated by...

BACKGROUND Emergence of drug-resistant strains of Candida and inefficiency of conventional antifungal therapy has necessitated the search for alternative and new antifungal agents. Inhibition of virulence and biofilm are the potential drug targets. In this study, the oils of Carum copticum, Thymus vulgaris and their major active compound thymol as revealed by Gas chromatography and gas chromato...

Medicinal plants play a key role in preventing various diseases. Hyperlipidemia is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of aqueous extract of Carum carvi seeds in diet induced hyperlipidemia in rats. 2% cholesterol diet were given to rats for six weeks and rats showed high lipid levels were included in the ...

The essential oil was obtained from crushed seeds, extracted through Hydrodistillation method. The percentage yield of Carum roxburghianum was found 4.7% respectively. Physical properties i.e., colour, odour, specific gravity, solubility, refractive index, acid value and ester value were recorded according to the standard procedures. Chemical composition of essential oil of Carum roxburghianum ...

Carum copticum L. is a medicinal plant of the Apiaceae family with medicinal properties. In this study, the effects of drought stress on the photosynthetic pigments and essential oils as well as the enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms of the seedlings and callus of C. copticum were investigated within the framework of a controlled experiment under in vitro conditions. For this purpose, the s...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Satureja hortensis and Trachyspermum copticum essential oils against different kinds of microorganisms in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay and the chemical composition of essential oils was analyzed by GC and G...

Acinetobacter baumannii is categorized as a red alert pathogen that is increasingly associated with a high mortality rate in infected patients due to its resistance to extensive antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of some essential oils (Oliveria decumbens, Pelargonium graveolens, Eugenia caryophyllata, Ziziphora tenuir and Trachyspermum copticum oils) against ...

The β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of Carum copticum, 5 nM propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative Log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1...
