A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was performed comparing one applicator of Zataria multiflora vaginal cream with one applicator of Clotrimazole vaginal cream at night for a week. 61 women with candida vaginitis were enrolled. 30 of 62 women treated with Zataria multiflora vaginal cream ...

Background: This research aimed to evaluate the protective effects of methanolic extract of Zataria Multiflora Boiss (Z. Multiflora) against hepatic damage induced by cisplatin in male Wistar rats. Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced in Wistar male rats by a single intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin, 7 g/ kg body weight. A methanolic extract of Z. Multiflora was administered orally at ...

OBJECTIVE There are few therapeutic options for treatment of multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates as a hospital infectious agent (nosocomial infection). The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Zataria multiflora Boiss extracts against ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on 100 K. pneumoniae isola...

This study aims at evaluating the effects of Zataria multiflora (Z. multiflora) essential oil (EO) on growth, aflatoxin production and transcription of aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway genes. Total RNAs of Aspergillus parasiticus (A.parasiticus) ATCC56775 grown in yeast extract sucrose (YES) broth medium treated with Z. multiflora EO were subjected to reverse transcription- polymerase chain react...

The stimulatory effect of Zataria multiflora Boiss (Labiatae) and carvacrol on β-adrenoceptors was examined on guinea pig trachea. The effects of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract, carvacrol, and propranolol (β-receptor antagonist) on β-adrenoceptors were tested in nonincubated (group 1, n = 8) and incubated tracheal chains with 1 μM chlorpheniramine (histamine H1 receptor antag...

BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, there has been a growing trend in using oral hygienic products originating from natural resources such as essential oils (EOs) and plant extracts. Seven aromatic plants used in this study are among popular traditional Iranian medicinal plants with potential application in modern medicine as anti-oral infectious diseases. OBJECTIVES This study was conducte...

The effect of aqueous-ethanolic extract of Zataria multiflora Boiss (Labiatae), on βadrenoceptors was examined on tracheal chains of guinea pigs. The effects of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/mL), 10 nM propranolol, and saline on β-adrenoceptors were tested (n=8). The results showed clear leftward shifts in isoprenaline curves obtained in the presence of...
