the β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of carum copticum, 5 nm propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1 µm ...

the purpose of this study was to elucidate some factors affecting the growth of salmonella typhimurium. these factors included carum copticum essential oil (0%, 0.015%, 0.03% and 0.06%), temperature (25 ˚c and 35 ˚c), ph (5, 6 and 7) and inoculum size (103 and 105  cfu ml-1). brain heart infusion broth was used as the growth medium. there were 48 treatment combinations and the experiment was ca...

background and aims: our previous study has demonstrated that essence of carum copticum reduces contraction activity of ileum in rat. the present study was designed to find out the effects of nonpolar fraction of carum copticum essence (nfcce) on mechanical activity of the isolated ileum in rat. materials and methods: for evaluation of spasmolythic property of fraction, different doses of the s...

Antibacterial activity of 19 essential oils was screened against four test bacteria namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063. Varying degree of antibacterial activity was recorded with the highest being depicted by Cinnamomum zeylanicum followed by Cymbopogon ciatrus and Carum copticum, against all...

background : the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of zataria multiflora boiss (avishan-e shirazi) and carum copticum (zenian) extracts on vibrio cholerae american type culture collection (atcc14035)and v. cholerae persian type culture collection (ptcc1611) strains. methods : antimicrobial effects of the extracts were assayed by disc diffusion and broth microdilution...
