In this study, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of ‘‘Achillea phrygia’’ were investigated. Since the activity B sub-extract from plant’s chloroform extract is higher than other extracts, Achillea phrygia was used in preparation nanoparticles. Characterization nanoparticles made, activities IC50 values only calculated by cell culture studies XTT viability test. According to results, ...

Haplotype phylogenies based on DNA sequence data are increasingly being used to test traditional species-level taxonomies based on morphology. However, few studies have critically compared species limits based on morphological and DNA data, and the methods used to delimit species using either type of data are only rarely explained. In this paper, we review three approaches for species delimitat...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes crown gall disease. The strain Ach5 was isolated from yarrow (Achillea ptarmica L.) and is the wild-type progenitor of other derived strains widely used for plant transformation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.

We have produced a chloroform extract from Achillea which includes stigmasterol and sitosterol. By comparing it with the pure compounds an anti-inflammatory effect (with mouse ears) is assumed. The topical anti-inflammatory effect of the chloroform extract from Achillea ageratum (Asteraceae) and of stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol, isolated of this extract has been evaluated, against to 12-0-te...

species in Italy of which nine are endemic. Several Achillea species are used for their pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fragrance properties. The extracts exhibit pharmacologic activities such as antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Achillea ligustica ALL., a member of the Achillea nobilis group, has been used as medicine mainly for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders ...

AIM To compare the antibacterial effect of hydro alcoholic extract of Salvia officinalis, Pimpinella anisum, Satureja hortensis, Rhus coriaria, Carum copticum, Mentha longifolia, Achillea millefolium against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Actinomyces viscosus through two in vitro methods. METHODS In this experimental study, hydro-alcoholic extracts have been prepared from t...
