conclusions the current study results showed that silver nanoparticles produced by plantago ovata seed extract had an antibacterial effect on staphylococcus aureus which was resistant against cefixime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and penicillin. results the silver nanoparticles revealed gaussian distributions with the average diameter of 13 nm with some deviations, and results showed that the...

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) is an important medicinal plant having high pharmacological activity in its seed husk, which is substantially used in the food, beverages and packaging industries. Nevertheless, isabgol lags behind in research, particularly for genomic resources, like molecular markers, genetic maps, etc. Presently, molecular markers can be easily developed through next generatio...

since there is limited information on the simultaneous effect of drought stress and salicylic acid on yield and mucilagecontent of the medicinal herb, plantago ovata forssk is available, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial form basedon a randomized complete block design with three replications in jiroft, kerman province, south of iran. as the firstfactor, drought stress included four le...

The basic aspire of current study was to review different aspects of Plantago ovata together with its cultivation, growth, biochemistry, pharmaceutical and pharmacological attributes. Plantago ovata belongs to family Plantaginaceae. It is an annual herb, indigenous to Mediterranean region especially Southern Europe, North Africa and West Asia. Different electronic databases (Medline, Science Di...

Isabgol is a major export oriented medicinal crop of India. The genetic variability available in this crop is limited owing to the narrow gene pool existing in our country. The physiological and growth characteristics of selected 7 species of Plantago were studied at DMAPR, Boriavi to investigate the relationship with the seed yield. Among the species studied, the lowest SLA (specific leaf area...

BACKGROUND Several studies have indicated that dietary fiber may have a protective effect on gastrointestinal mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective action of the soluble fiber Plantago ovata husk against intestinal damage. METHODS To evaluate the anti-ulcerogenic effect on duodenal mucosa of the soluble fiber Plantago ovata husk, low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (10 mg/kg)...

The main objective of this study is to explore development of pharmaceutical excipients from the husk obtained from the seeds of Plantago ovata. Husk shows very good swelling property in water due to the major part of mucilage in it. Since swelling is one of the mechanisms of action of some tablet disintegrants, it is thought that the husk powder of Plantago ovata would be able to act as a tabl...

BACKGROUND Plantago ovata husk therapy could be used in patients with Parkinson disease to reduce the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders, but it is important to know whether this compound modifies levodopa pharmacokinetics. The maintenance of constant plasma concentrations of levodopa abolishes the clinical fluctuations in parkinsonian patients. The aim of this randomised clinical trial was...
