materials and methods the subjects included 27 male and 3 female patients with advanced chronic periodontitis. the mean age of the patients was 47.6 ± 2.0 years old. p. gingivalis was isolated from the samples and identified by various diagnostic tests, including gram staining, indol test, and fluorescent test. minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of the essential oil against isolated p. ging...

objective: due to the high incidence of bacterial vaginosis (bv) and its resistance to chemical medications and considering the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects of myrtus communis, the present study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of the vaginal gel of m. communis 2% (in metronidazole base) with metronidazole vaginal gel 0.75% alone on bv.materials and methods: this research was ...

α-Synuclein (α-Syn) fibrillation links with Parkinson's disease (PD) and several related syndromes. It is believed that exposure to the factors which promote fibrillation may induce and progress such neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). Herein, the effects of some wildly used essential oils including Myrtus communis (M. communis) on α-Syn fibrillation were examined. M. communis particularly increa...

This study investigated the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties of Myrtus communis leaves. Three different solvents including methanol, 50%-methanol, water were used to extract M. communis. In addition, total bioactive compounds evaluated by using phenolic flavonoid content assays. assays, displayed highest potential. The MeOH demonstrated effect against AChE (4.38 mg GALAE/g), BChE (1...
