conclusions these results showed an inhibitory effect for the extract of asafetida on muscarinic receptors of tracheal smooth muscle. results the ec50 obtained in the presence of higher concentration of the extract muscle was significantly higher compared to saline (p < 0.01). the maximum responses to methacholine in the presence of higher concentration of the extract (10 mg/ml) was significant...

Background and Objective: To assess the control release of bio-molluscicides (Crude Ferula asafoetida and their active component ferulic acid) loaded in alginates as binding matrix. Methodology: Sodium alginate, an anionic block copolymer of β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid, is a readily available, non-toxic polysaccharide its property to form gel with divalent and multivalent cations...

Sugarcane bacilliforin virus (SCBV) was detected in the world collection of sugarcane gerinplasm at Cannanore in recent years. The characteristic foliar syinptolns were freckles, chlorotic stripes of vaiying length, narrowing of leaves, stunted growth, presence of internodal cracks and a "buizclzy top" appearance. Among the different genotypes, those of Sacckarum oflcinaruin appear most prone t...

objective: asafoetida (ferula assa-foetida) is known as a valuable remedy for whooping cough, pneumonia, bronchitis in children and asthma treatment in folk medicine. in the present study the relaxant effects of the asafoetida on tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pigs and its probable mechanism(s) were examined. materials and methods: the relaxant effects of three cumulative concentrations of th...

Larvicidal activity of acetone and petroleum ether extracts of four plants Murraya koenigii, Coriandrum sativum, Ferula asafoetida, Trigonella foenum graceum and synthetic larvicides Fenthion and Temephos used alone and in combination was carried out against A. aegypti larvae under laboratory conditions. Optimum values were found out by using different concentrations of each plant (ranged 25 pp...

asafoetida is one of important medicinal plant of the apiaceae family that due to over harvesting from natural pastures has been endanger to elimination. knowledge and studies of plant biology and germination behavior can lead to the development of its cultivation and protection in the natural pastures. this experiment was conducted to evaluate asafoetida seeds germination on the response to te...
