OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of brain ischemia and neurodegenerative disorders. Previous studies indicated that Viola tricolor and Viola odorata are rich sources of antioxidants. This study aimed to determine whether these plants protect neurons against serum/glucose deprivation (SGD)-induced cell death in an in vitro model of ischemia and neurodegeneration...

Objective(s): In previous studies, antioxidant activity of Viola odorata L. has been demonstrated. In this study, we have investigated the anti-melanogenic effect of extract and fractions of the plant in B16F10 cell line. Materials and Methods: Impact of different increasing concentrations of extract and fractions of V. odorata was evaluated on cell viability, cellular tyrosinase, melanin conte...

A new mite species belonging to the Eriophyidae (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from Kunming, Yunnan Province, southwestern China, is described and illustrated. Calepitrimerus kunmingensis sp. nov. causes erineum on its host plant, Schefflera odorata (Blanco) Merr. & Rolfe (Araliaceae), commonly known as the umbrella tree.

Medicinal plant contains matter that can be used for therapeutic reason or which are precursors for the production of useful drugs. Very few and periodic works are there in the literature regarding the phytochemistry and TLC of Viola odorata L. TLC profiling of plant extract gives an idea about the presence of various phytochemicals. Different Rf (Retention factor) value of various phytochemica...

Diazepam is a long-acting "classical" benzodiazepine. Diazepam has anticonvulsant properties. Diazepam inhibits acetylcholine release in mouse hippocampal synaptosomes. Viola odorata contains alkaloid, glycoside, saponins, methyl slicylate, mucilage and vitamin C. the objective of present study was to evaluate of sedative and pre-anesthetic effects of Viola odorata linn. extract compared with d...

many medical properties including antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc. have been mentioned for Viola odorata. results have shown the solid cell-killing effects of Viola odorata cycloidal compounds. In addition, Pathogen resistance has necessitated the study of new antimicrobial compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and anticancer effects of aqueous...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Oral cancer is among the ten most common cancers worldwide. It affects the life quality of patients in many ways. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different systemic doses of Viola Odorata syrup on the prevention of 4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) induced tongue dysplasia in rats. MATERIALS AND METHOD Forty-eight male Wistar rats were...
