Background & Aim: In the present research, we investigated phytochemical characteristics of two important species of Verbascum genus. Enormous reconnaissance and field surveys were conducted to identify the most important natural habitats of Verbascum species in Kohgiluyeh va Buyerahmad province, southern Iran. Experimental: The aerial parts of Verbascum songaricum a...

In India, a number of medicinal plants and their formulations are used to cure hepatic disorders in traditional systems of medicine. No systemic study has been done on protective effect of Cucumis trigonus Roxb. (Cucurbitaceae) to treat hepatic diseases. Protective action of C. trigonus fruit extracts was evaluated in this study in animal model of hepatotoxicity, which was induced by carbon tet...

Unfavorable conditions can affect on secondary metabolites production in the plants. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of heavy metals accumulation on antibacterial potential of Chenopodium murale L., Senecio glaucus L., Malva parviflora L. and Calendula arvensis L. grown in an industrial area of steel production in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. The cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), mangan...

Background & Objective: Traditional medicines have a wide range of pharmacological properties. This work was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of Thymus vulgaris, Matricaria chamomilla, Melissa officinalis and Rhus coriaria extracts against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: 180 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were examined. disc diffusion method as...

Alcohol and water extracts of Cymbopogon citratus was investigated for anti-bacterial properties and phytochemical constituents. The extract was screened against four gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris) and two grampositive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus at four different concentrations (1:1, 1:5, 1:10 a...

1. A dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase was purified 60-fold from extracts of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 grown aerobically on ethanol. 2. The properties of this enzyme were identical with those of the alcohol dehydrogenase synthesized by this organism during growth on methanol anaerobically in the light, and they are judged to be the same enzyme. 3. The enzyme gave a single protein band, c...
