INTRODUCTION Leaf extract of Mentha arvensis or mint plant was used as reducing agent for the synthesis of green silver nanoparticles (GSNPs) as a cost-effective, eco-friendly process compared to that of chemical synthesis. The existence of nanoparticles was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffracti...

Sodium alginate, irradiated by Co-60 gamma rays in solid state, elicits plant growth promoting responses in various plants. Irradiated sodium alginate (ISA) was applied as a foliar spray on mint (Mentha arvensis L.) to investigate its effect on plant growth, physiological attributes and herbage yield as well as on content and yield of essential oil and its components (menthol, L-menthone, isome...

In vitro anticancer potential of methanolic and aqueous extracts of whole plants of Mentha arvensis, M. longifolia, M. spicata and M. viridis at concentration of 100 μg/ml was evaluated against eight human cancer cell lines--A-549, COLO-205, HCT-116, MCF-7, NCI-H322, PC-3, THP-1 and U-87MG from six different origins (breast, colon, glioblastoma, lung, leukemia and prostate) using sulphorhodamin...

Ce travail s'inscrit dans le contexte global de valorisation la biodiversité des plantes aromatiques du Sénégal. L’objectif l’étude était déterminer composition chimique d’huiles essentielles (HE) Mentha arvensis L. et d’évaluer leurs activités antioxydante insecticide. A cet effet, feuilles M. ont été récoltées région Dakar (Sénégal) séchées à l'ombre puis HE extraites par entrainement vapeur ...

O objetivo foi avaliar a produção biomassa, o teor, rendim...

The present study was focused on examining the effect of Hg oxidative stress induced physiochemical and genetic changes in M. arvensis seedlings. The growth rate of Hg treated seedlings was decreased to 56.1% and 41.5% in roots and shoots, respectively, compared to the control. Accumulation of Hg level in both roots and shoots was increased with increasing the concentration of Hg. Superoxide di...

Treatment with herbal drugs is considered one of the oldest and safest methods for treating various diseases. Mentha arvensis a medicinal plant used worldwide in pharmaceutical industry its antibacterial, anticancer, antiallergic, anti-inflammatory properties. In present study, antibacterial activity methanolic extract M. leaves was tested at different concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200 µg/ml) a...
