OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effect of mouthwashes containing Calendula officinalis L., Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate on the adherence of microorganisms to suture materials after extraction of unerupted third molars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen patients with unerupted maxillary third molars indicated for extractio...

Background. Programs of preclinical safety studies the health care products depend on regulatory status investigated products. The classification such products, in particular suppositories for rectal and vaginal use, is a critical step developing tactics their biological evaluation. Adaptation evaluation methods medical devices based combination biologically active substances, as well results u...

Following the characterization of hypoglycemic, gastric emptying inhibitory, and gastroprotective principles and the structure elucidation of calendasaponins A, B, C, and D, two new ionone glucosides (officinosides A and B), and two sesquiterpene oligoglycosides (officinosides C and D), were isolated from the flowers of Egyptian Calendula officinalis. The structures of the officinosides were el...

In a country like Iran, where soil organic matter is less than 1% and in most cases even less than 0.5 %, Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a permanent and inexpensive source of organic matter. Various experiments have indicated that applications of compost improve plant health, yield and nutritional quality. However, the quality of the compost determines the growth and the development of plants. ...

The chemical composition and bioactive properties of two plants (Calendula officinalis L. and Mentha cervina L.) were studied. Their nutritional value revealed a high content of carbohydrates and low fat levels, and very similar energy values. However, they presented different profiles in phenolic compounds and fatty acids; C. officinalis presented mainly glycosylated flavonols and saturated fa...

background: colorectal adenocarcinoma is one of the most prevalent and treatable malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. recent in vitro studies have demonstrated the anticancer effect of calendula officinalis extract on a tumor cell line derived from colorectal cancers. the inhibitory effect of this extract ranges from 70- 100% and an in vitro study has demonstrated that calendula officina...

Calendula officinalis (Marigold) was characterized in respect to its chemical composition, antioxidant potential and antimicrobial activities. Five compounds were identified and quantified by LC/MS and HPLC in leaves and flowers of aqueous-methanolic extracts. Total flavonoids ranged between 44.91 and 76.44 mg QE/g dry weight in leaf and flower extracts, respectively. Rutin, quercetin-3-O-gluco...
