BACKGROUND Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic and hepatocarcinogenic metabolite produced by Aspergillus species. Some natural products are known to kill fungi and destroy toxins and toxin-producing agents. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to provide experimental data on the antifungal activity of cumin oils and their components that could be considered suitable for application in fo...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cuminum cyminum (c. cyminum) essential oil on the growth and fum1 gene expression of fumonisin-producing fusarium verticillioides (f. verticillioides) strains isolated from maize. materials and methods: all fungal strains were cultured on potato dextrose agar (pda) slopes at 30°c for 7 days. the antifungal activity was evaluate...

background and aims: one of the most common chronic diseases in the world is tooth decay. a variety of bacteria are involved in this disorder of which streptococcus mutants is the most common. essential oils are considered as new natural compounds for use in combating drug-resistant bacteria. this study was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of some essential oils prepared from eucaly...

Plants used in popular diet were studied for anti-Helicobacter pylori activity and their effect on the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) from H. pylori infected gastric epithelial cells. Extracts were prepared of Allium sativum (A. sativum), Cuminum cyminum (C. cyminum), Piper nigrum (P. nigrum) and their mix in two different dilutions. AGS cell line and H. pylori strains were used for co-cult...
