Background : Throughout history pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious diseases. Medicinal herbs play an important role in human life because they are used for the therapy and production of herbal remedies. Therefore, it is relevant to study antibacterial activity medicinal including Artemisia L. species. Aim The purpose this was investigate antimicrobial antifungal species extracts identif...

The senescence-promoting substance of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.) as detected by the oat (Avena sativa L. cv "Victory") leaf assay has been identified as (-)-methyl jasmonate, methyl (1S, 2R)-3-oxo-2-(2'-cis-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-acetate, by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and optical rotatory dispersion. Its senescence-promoting effect was much stronger than that of absci...

We examined the effects of Prunella vulgaris Labiatae (P. vulgaris L.) on specific and non-specific immune responses of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The optimal concentration without toxicity of P. vulgaris was determined to 30-40 μg/ml in vitro and 120 μg/100 g of fish in vivo. P. vulgaris significantly elicited an antibody titer compared to FCA or β-glucan. β-glucan plus P. vulgaris g...

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-sucking abomasal parasite of small ruminants that is responsible for major losses to producers worldwide. Resistance of this nematode to commercial anthelmintics has produced a demand for alternative control methods. Plants in the genus Artemisia have traditionally been used as anthelmintics and whole plants and plant extracts have demonstrated activity against g...

At the present stage of development science, it remains relevant to create new medicines plant origin with use extracts as active substances and improvement composition technology existing ones.
 The article aimed highlight main stages preclinical studies herbal Artemisia species establish their pharmacological activity, safety profile, prospects for further research in developing a medici...
