INTRODUCTION Tanacetum sonbolii (Asteraceae) is an endemic species in Iran. In the present study, we examined the effects of Tanacetum sonbolii hydroalcoholic extract on the formalin test in mice. METHODS 126 Swiss albino mice weighing 230-280g were used as subjects. The formalin test was performed on two control groups (marked as intact and saline groups; n = 6 in each group) and an experime...

Objectives Tanacetum species are traditionally used as insecticide, and externally wound healer as well as for anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties. The in vivo wound-healing and anti-inflammatory potential of four Tanacetum species, Tanacetum argenteum (Lam.) Willd. subsp. argenteum (TA), Tanacetum heterotomum (Bornm.) Grierson (TH), Tanacetum densum (Lab.) Schultz Bip. subsp. sivas...

UNLABELLED Materials and Methods : Thirty-six Wistar male rats were randomly divided into six equal groups. Group A animals received distilled water for 28 days. Group B to group F animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol in distilled water for 28 days and group B served as ethylene glycol control. Groups C and D (preventive groups) received aqueous extract of leaves of B. pinnatum 50 and 100 mg...

The study is an attempt to investigate diuretic activity of ethanolic extract of a polyherbal formulation of three drugs Bryophyllum pinnatum, Syzigium aromaticum & Ocimum sanctum by in-vivo method described by Lipschitz et al. (1943). In the present study, the extract of polyherbal formulation (Bryophyllum pinnatum, Syzigium aromaticum & Ocimum sanctum) was found to possess significant activit...

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation (HD), steam distillation (SD) and solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) from the stems and flowers of Tanacetum tenuisectum (Boiss.) Podl., which is endemic to Iran,were analyzed by GC and GC/MS.Camphor (26.9 %, 27.2% and 25.5%), borneol (12.6%, 11.5% and 7.6%) and 1, 8-cineole (7.9%, 13.2% and 11.3%) were the main constituents of the HD, SD a...

Various solvent extract of leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum were analyzed for antibacterial activity against selected species isolated from urine samples. To provide a scientific basis to treat UTIs, the extracts of leaves Bryophyllum pinnatum were subjected to antibacterial activity against selected bacterial species by well diffusion assay. MIC values were also determined to find minimum effect...

The use of herbs to treat disease is accompanied with the history of human life. This research is aimed to study the antiinflammatory and antinociceptive effects of hydroalcoholic extract of aerial parts of "Tanacetum balsamita balsamita". In the experimental studies 144 male mice are used. In the inflammatory test, animals were divided into six groups: Control, positive control (receiving Dexa...

Evaluation of four botanicals Vernonia amygdalina L., Bryophyllum pinnatum L., Eucalyptus globules Labill and Ocimum gratissimum Kurz (Clocimum) for chemical and nutritional properties was conducted at Ago Iwoye in South-western Nigeria. The results from the investigation showed that V. amygdalina contained large quantity of Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Ascorbic acid, Glycine, Cysteine and Casein hydr...
