Objective(s) Due to increasing emergence of drug-resistance in Helicobacter pylori isolates, traditional plants are potentially valuable sources of novel anti-H. pylori agents. In this research, anti-H. pylori activity of the organic extracts of twenty native Iranian plants was determined against ten clinical isolates of H. pylori. Materials and Methods Disc diffusion was used to determine th...

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...

background: herbal medicine has been used for many years by different cultures around the world for the treatment of diabetes. objective: the hypoglycemic effect of caraway ethanolic extract (carum carvi l.) was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. methods: intraperitoneal administration of caraway ethanolic extract seeds (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 g/kg body wt.) on the ...

The highest average value for the ascorbic acid content of freshly harvested vegetables in Olliver's (1954) list is 1 9 mg./g. fresh wt. for parsley (Carum petroselinum); in the Handbook of Biological Data (1956) the highest value is 1-36 for turnip greens (Brassica rapa). Morgan (1942) found 2-8 mg./g. in fresh parsley leaves. We have found the average value for several batches of lucerne (Med...

results the results revealed the formation of spherical silver nanoparticles with an average size of 10 nm. moreover, concentration of snps in a 25 ml sample containing both snps and plant extract biomass was 2.934 mg/l on average. serial microdilution test showed that snps at the concentration of 50 μg/ml can inhibit growth of the pathogen. conclusions the present study extends the existing li...

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...
