In the present work, a comprehensive study was made on the analysis of chemical composition of essential oil and antibacterial activity from the leaves of Ajuga bracteosa. The essential oil was extracted by Cleavenger type apparatus and analyzed by GC-MS. The main components present in the essential oil of leaves are Limonene, α-humulene, β-Myrcene, Elemol, Camphene, βCaryophellene, α-phellendr...

Conducting cell apoptosis pathways is a novel strategy in cancer treatment. This study aimed to explain that C. botrys essential oil could induce apoptosis and arrest the cell cycle in HeLa cells. Cytotoxic and apoptogenic effects of the essential oil of Jerusalem-oak (Chenopodium botrys L.), which was obtained from the aerial parts of the plant, were evaluated in HeLa cells. Cell viability was...

Novel coronavirus which was named later as SARS-CoV2 appeared in Wuhan, China, the end of December 2019. Actually, no precise drugs are existed and research concerning treatment is deficient. main protease (Mpro) crystallized by Liu et al. (2020) represented a crucial drug target. The present work aimed to evaluate some bioactive compounds from Pistacia atlantica possible Mpro inhibitors, based...

Greenhouse whiteflies, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, are very small sucker-whipper-type pests of the family Aleyrodidae. They cause considerable damage to greenhouse crops in first order and show resistance chemical insecticides. In this context, we dedicated study control pest through active ingredients extracted from leaf fruit part pepper tree, Schinus molle by inhibiting chemosensory protein r...

The mosquito vector Aedes aegypti L., plays an important role in transmission of diseases including dengue, chikungunya and zika fever. In this study, citronella leaf oil extracted by hydro-distillation technique has been evaluated for its efficacy against vector. Citronella (100, 125, 150, 175 200 ppm) when tested, 150 ppm was found to be the effective larvicidal concentration 4th instar larva...

GC-MS/FID analysis of the essential oils 10 Thymus species, belonging to Sect. Serpyllum, led identification 118 compounds accounting for 97.79–99.69% total oil. moesiacus, T. jankae, vandasii, longicaulis and sibthorpii were characterized by presence linalool (19.37–35.21%) as major or dominant component, but differed significantly in content other prominent components: linalyl acetate, gerani...
