Carbonic anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1) are essential family of metalloenzymes which catalyze the interconversion between carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) in all organisms three-domains life. Huge amounts attempts related to catalytic activity CAs have been widely expanded treat many clinical diseases. This study aimed determine in-vitro antioxidant activities human CA I (hCA I) II II...

This study was conducted to search for xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors from the root extracts of Tamus communis L. traditionally used in folk medicine in Algeria. Root extracts with different solvents were screened for purified milk xanthine oxidase inhibition. The root extracts (methanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate) and proteins, obtained in distilled water, inhibited bovine, sheep and huma...

Türkiye’de Akdeniz florasında yaygın olarak bulunan, tıbbi ve aromatik bir bitki olan Myrtus communis L. (Mersin) günümüzde çeşitli fitoterapötik uygulamalarda sıklıkla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bitkisinin meyvelerinden ekstraksiyon yöntemiyle elde edilen sabit yağların verimleri hesaplanmış kimyasal kompozisyonu gaz kromotografisi-kütle spektroskopisi (GC-MS) ile tespit edilmiştir. ...

Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree widespread throughout the Mediterranean region. In Turkey, both cultivated and wild forms, differing in plant and fruit size and fruit composition, can be found. These differences may have resulted from the domestication of the cultivated form over a long period of time. We investigated whether wild and cultivated forms of myrtle differ in karyological...

Juniperus communis (Cuppraseae), a coniferous plant widely used as traditional medicine was evaluated for the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity on Streptozotocin(STZ)-nicotinamide induced diabetic rats. The methanolic extract of Juniperus communis (MEJC) (100mg/kg, 200mg/kg, b.w) was administered orally in diabetic group except the standard group (Glibenclamide 10mg/kg, b.w) and the ...

background: fleas are important vectors of human and animal disease, and control measures for protection against their bites and flea-borne diseases are necessary. methods : the essential oils (eos) of four native medicinal plants, ziziphora tenuiore , myrtus communis , achillea wilhelmsii and mentha piperita were isolated by hydrodistillation technique and analyzed by gc-mc. the repellent acti...

Artocarpus communis is an agricultural plant that is also used in folk medicine to prevent skin diseases, including acne and dermatitis. Extracts of A. communis have been used to effectively inhibit melanogenesis; however, the antimelanogenesis mechanism of these extracts has not yet been investigated. The present study utilized a cell-free tyrosinase assay as well as α-melanocyte stimulating h...

Most of the biological properties myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) are linked to antioxidant activity phenolic compounds present in extracts. In this study, content total phenols, tannins, and anthocyanins acidified ethanol extracts berries leaves five cultivars was quantified during whole fruit development. some development stages, (AA) both tissues evaluated with FRAP, ABTS, DPPH, ?-carotene assay...
