The essential oil of Peucedanum ru t h e n i c u m fruits, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Among the 31 identified constituents accounting for 83.9% of the total oil, the major components were 1,8-cineole (11.15%), camphor (5.86%), Z-carveol (6.88%), l-carvone (5.61%), 8,9-dehydroisolongifolene (1...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to characterize the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Trachyspermum copticum essential oil (EO). Methods: The chemical composition of seed samples obtained from Mianeh city in East Azerbaijan, was assessed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by disc diffusion method against methicil...

The composition of the essential oil obtained from the dried flowering aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. (Compositae) was analysed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-two components were identified in the essential oil of A. annua L. with campher (48.00%), 1,8-cineole (9.39%), camphene (6.98%) and spathulenol (4.89%) as major components. The essential oil was evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal act...

      The essential oil of Prangos ferulacea (Apiaceae) fruits was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometery (MS). Among the 39 identified constituents accounting for 99.99% of the total oil, the major components were chrysanthenyl acetate (26.53%), limonene (19.59%), alpha pinene (19.50%), delta-3-carene (6.56%), mesitaldehyde (6.0...

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of different extracts from aerial parts of six Salvia species including Salvia ceratophylla, Salvia chorassanica, Salvia leriifolia, Salvia macrosiphon, Salvia chloroleuca and Salvia virgata. The effect of the extracts against 3 Gram positive and 3 Gram negative bacteria was tested by the micro dilution method. ...

In this study, methanol and ether extracts of five endemic Asperula species (Rubiaceae) from Turkey (A. antalyensis, A. brevifolia, A. pseudochlorantha, A. purpurea subsp. apiculata and A. serotina), used in the traditional system of medicine, were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar well diffusion method and the broth dilution method. The most active species were Asperula brevifolia ...

background and objective: uttarakhand region is less explored, but possess a great biodiversity. this diversity can be explored for isolation and characterization of new actinomycetes strains for seeking antimicrobial molecules. it can therefore be predicted that novel bioactive metabolite producing actinomycetes can be discovered to combat multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. materials and...

Introduction: Thymbra spicata (T. spicata) is a conventional medicinal herb which is commonly used in the folklore medicine system of Iran. Aim of the study was to assess the antibacterial activity of the essential oil and hudroalcholic extract of the plant T. spicata on some important bacteria. Materials & methods: The essential oil and extract of T. spicata were obtained by hydrodistillation ...

cr(iii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii) salts of 2-(4-nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid were characterized by physical, analytical and spectroscopic studies and checked for their  in-vitro antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains, mycobacterium smegmatis (gram +ve), escherichia coli (gram -ve), pseudomonas aeuroginosa (gram -ve) and three fungal strains, nigrospora oryzae, ...

Background: Due to multiple drug resistance against antimicrobial drugs for treatment of infectious disease, investigations to discovering new antibacterial compounds from natural sources have been designated. Objective: According to antimicrobial effects of some Capparis species, this study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the extract and fractions of Capparis cart...
