OBJECTIVE To evaluate wound healing activity of ethanolic extract of Jasminum grandiflorum Linn. (J. grandiflorum) flowers in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n=6).Three groups - diabetic control, positive control (that received Glibenclamide) and treatment (that received J. grandiflorum Linn. Flower extract)...

Objective: Present investigations were carried out for evaluation of antitumor and in vitro antioxidant activity of ethanol and aqueous extracts of Jasminum angustifolium Linn. Methods: For its antitumor activity, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) induced swiss albino mice were used and were divided into five group with 6 animal each.The antitumor effect was assessed using viable tumour cell coun...

Jasmine is one of the important commercial traditional flower crops of India. It plays an important role in religious offerings, social and cultural activities of India. It is also used for the production of essential oils in the form of ‘concrete’ and ‘absolute’ which are used in cosmetics and perfumery industries. Fully open flowers contain maximum fragrance and needs to be collected for conc...

Background Research shows that jasmonic acid (JA) and Methyl Jasmonate (MJ), compounds that participate in the metabolism’s control, development and protection of plant processes [1], also possess anticancer activities [2]. In studies, researchers found that Jasmonate were able to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells, and MJ induced death in lung carcinoma cells [3], breast, prostate, melan...

There are many species of jasmines in different regions of Iran in natural or cultivated form, and there is no information about their genetic status. Therefore, inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis was used to evaluate genetic variations of the 53 accessions representing eight species of Jasminum collected from different regions of Iran. A total of 21 ISSR primers were used which gener...

Wound healing is a fundamental response to tissue injury and natural products accelerate the healing process. Here, we have explored the efficacy of topical administration of an ointment, prepared by methanolic extract of Jasminum grandiflorum L. (Oleaceae) leaves, on cutaneous wound healing in rats. The topical application of the Jasminum ointment on full thickness excision wounds accelerated ...
