Coriandrum sativum L. has a distinct flavour and aroma which is due to the essential oil present in it. The main component of the essential oil of the fruit is monoterpenoids and linalool. All parts of the plant are edible. The content and composition of essential oil is influenced by climatic conditions, agro technology and stage of maturity at time of harvesting, geography of growing region, ...

objective: this study was planned to investigate whethercoriandrum sativum (c. sativum) is capable of protecting neurons against glucose/serum deprivation (gsd)-induced cytotoxicity. material and methods: the pc12 cells were cultivated for 24 h in standard media (high-glucose dmem containing fetal bovine serum) or for 6 h in gsd condition (glucose-free dmem, without serum) in the absence or pre...

objective: in the present work, the effects of different fractions of coriandrum sativum (c. sativum), on pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced seizures and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in rats. materials and methods: the rats were divided into the following groups: (1) vehicle, (2) ptz (90 mg/kg), (3) water fraction (wf) of c. sativum (25 and 100 mg/kg), (4) n-butanol fraction (...

Against a background of recent progress in developmental neuroscience, some of which has been taken as challenging to the modularity hypothesis of , this article contrasts two competing conceptions of modularity: sui generis modularity, according to which modules are treated as independent neurocognitive entities that owe nothing to one another, and descent-with-modification modularity, accordi...

Heavy metals pollution has become a great threat to the world. Since instrumental methods are expensive and need skilled technician, a simple and fast method is needed to determine the presence of heavy metals in the environment. In this study, an inhibitive enzyme assay for heavy metals has been developed using crude proteases from Coriandrum sativum. In this assay, casein was used as a substr...

The antimicrobial activities of the ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol extract of 12 plant species were studied. The extract of Capsicum annuum (red pepper) (fruit) Zingiber officinale (ginger) (root), Cuminum cyminum (cumin), Alpinia ficinarum (galingale), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Cinnamomun zeylanicum Nees (cinnamomun), Origanum onites L. (thyme), Folium sennae (senna), Eugenia caryop...
