Nineteen carotenoids were identified in extracts of petals of orange- and yellow-flowered cultivars of calendula (Calendula officinalis L.). Ten carotenoids were unique to orange-flowered cultivars. The UV-vis absorption maxima of these ten carotenoids were at longer wavelengths than that of flavoxanthin, the main carotenoid of calendula petals, and it is clear that these carotenoids are respon...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to describe two cases of desquamative gingivitis (DG) that were treated with a topic gel containing clobetasol propionate and Calendula officinalis L in an acetate tray over two years. METHODS Two patients with a diagnosis of lichen planus presenting as DG who had undergone previous treatments for this condition with no significant results, were treated...

The essential oil of Chrysanthemum coronarium flowerheads showed strong nematicidal activity in vitro and in growthchamber experiments. Essential oil concentrations of 2, 4, 8 and 16 μL mL, significantly reduced hatch, J2 survival (determined by final value and area under curves of cumulative percentage hatch or mortality) and reproduction rate of Meloidogyne artiellia in vitro, with the lowest...

H emorrhoids are a very common condition. Hospitalbased proctoscopy studies show prevalence rates of hemorrhoids in up to 86 percent of patients studied with many in an asymptomatic state. Botanicals used internally and topically can treat early stages of hemorrhoids effectively and can be used as adjuncts in more advanced stages when surgical treatments may be necessary. The roles of butcher’s...

Extraction of carotenoids was carried out from Calendula officinalis (English marigold) flowers and their effects on the oxidation stability of mustard oil under light storage was determined. Four solvents viz., hexane, acetone, ethanol and tolune were used for extraction of total caroteinoids.The carotenoid extract of the calendula flowers obtained was incorporated in mustard oil at 10, 25 and...

Calendula officinalis L. is one of the important medicinal plants known as "Pot marigold" in world and has become widespread recent years due to its economic importance. Salt stress abiotic factors that limits crop productivity by affecting growth plants, especially arid semi-arid regions. These negative effects salt stress, which affects development causing osmotic ion plants; It varies depend...

Calendula officinalis L. has been largely known for its topical anti-inflammatory properties; however, there are no experimental evidences about its antiphlogistic effect at the gastric level. To investigate whether marigold might exert an activity against gastric inflammation, a CH2Cl2 extract obtained from C. officinalis flowers was evaluated in vitro on the NF-κB pathway. The lipophilic extr...
