aims: in our previous studies, we showed the inhibitory effects of punica granatum l. flower and rhus coriaria l. fruit water extracts on dental plaque accumulation by several bacteria, especially streptococcus mutans (s. mutans), on orthodontic wire by in vitro assays. in this study, the anti-cariogenic properties of the extracts were evaluated by assessing their effects on expression of glyco...

rhus coriaria l. is known as sumac. r. coriaria extracts are important in drug development with numerous pharmacological reputations in the south-eastern anatolia, mediterranean area and western asia especially in iran. regarding the new multi-functional properties of r. coriaria and the related valuable ongoing reports, we were prompted to review the phytochemical and pharmacological propertie...

background and objectives: recently, use of herbal medicine and plant extracts as a substitute for commercially available chemical drugs for control of infectious diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease has become increasingly popular. the present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of rhus coriaria l. water extract on five common oral bacteria and bacterial biofilm formation ...

Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. RCE induced senescence and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. These changes were concomitant with upregulation of p21, downregulation of cyclin D1, p27,...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Rhus coriaria seeds on the reproductive system of nicotinamide-streptozotocin-induced type-2 diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, 56 male Naval Medical Research Institute mice were randomly divided into seven groups (n=8): control; diabetic mice; diabetic mice adminis...

The antimicrobial activities of 56 Palestinian medicinal plants against etiologic agents of acne vulgaris, mainly Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus was studied using disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results from the disc diffusion method demonstrated that these plants differ significantly in their activity against the studied microorganisms. The most active plants ...

conclusions our findings suggest that the analgesic effect of hrcle may be mediated via both peripheral and central mechanisms. the presence of flavonoids might be responsible for the anti-nociceptive activity of this plant. results hrcle significantly inhibited the number of contractions induced by acetic acid in the writhing test at all doses, while anti-nociceptive activity was only shown at ...

Background: Few anthelmintics are available for the treatment of hydatid disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. The appearance of resistance to synthetic anthelmintics and the adverse side effects of chemical drugs, stimulated the research of alternatives, such as medicinal plants. In the present study, the scolicidal effect of methanolic extract of sumac (Rhus coriaria) was in...
