thymol, one 10-gra'in powder every hour, preceded and followed by 2 ozs. of magnesium sulphate, for one day. After this the stools were examined daily, and showed balantidia for five days. On the sixth day the thymol treatment was repeated. In the meantime, he was given daily an enema of 2 ozs. of 5 per cent, protargol lotion, and by the mouth a mixture containing iron and quinine citrate, nux ...

Thymol is the most common molecule in thyme and has been proposed as an oral alternative to antibiotics in the feed of pigs and broilers. The knowledge of the in vivo physiological effects of thymol on tissues is limited, particularly its impact on the gastric mucosa, where it is primarily absorbed when it is orally supplied. In this study, thymol (TH, 50 mg/ kg BW) or a placebo (CO) was introd...

Thymol iodide is a compound of iodine and and thymol, sometimes called "Aristol," but more correctly dithymol diiodide. It was introduced into medicine for the purpose of acting as a substitute for iodoform. It should be kept in amber-coloured phials to protect it from light. Its colour varies from that of chocolate to reddish-yellow. This medicine is being sold in the market under the trade na...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Satureja hortensis and Trachyspermum copticum essential oils against different kinds of microorganisms in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay and the chemical composition of essential oils was analyzed by GC and G...

BACKGROUND Essential oil components (EOCs) are known for their antifungal properties; however, their high volatility limits their application as antimicrobial agents. Strategies used for controlling the volatility of EOCs include encapsulation or loading into porous materials. This study evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity of selected EOCs (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol and thymol) ...

zataria multiflora boiss is used in traditional folk remedies as antiseptic, analgesic, carminative, anthelmintic medication. the main components of zataria multiflora are phenolic compounds such as thymol and carvacrol. the aim of this study was developed a simple and rapid method for determination of the thymol in different extracts of zataria multiflora by hplc method. the dried aerial parts...

It is demonstrated that IgG fractions with isoelectric points above 7.6, isolated from pooled syphilitic sera, are able to elevate the thymol turbidity. The effect increases with increasing isoelectric points of the isolated fraction. IgG from individual syphilitic patients exerts a stronger effect on the thymol turbidity than normal IgG. It is concluded that elevated amounts of these basic imm...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oregano essential oil, carvacrol and thymol on biofilm-grown Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains, as well as the effects of the oils on biofilm formation. For most of the S. aureus (n=6) and S. epidermidis (n=6) strains tested, the biofilm inhibitory concentration (0.125-0.500 %, v/v, for oregano, and 0.031-0.125 %, v/...

Ten naturally occurring compounds have been tested for molluscicidal activity against the fresh water snail, Biomphalaria alexandrina and the white garden snail, Theba pisana. The role of the synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PB) in improving the efficacy of these chemicals was also investigated. The results showed that thymol was the most effective against B. alexandrina snails, followed by trans...

This study explores the preparation of corn starch (CS) films incorporated with nanocellulose fiber (NCF) and different concentrations thymol (0.1, 0.3, 0.5% weight thymol/volume solution (% w / v )) via solvent casting method. The resulting were characterized by functional chemistry, crystallinity, morphology, mechanical, thermal, barrier properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ana...
