background and objectives: tuberculosis (tb) is the major public health problem in the world. each year there are 2-3 million deaths worldwide caused by tb. the increasing incidence of multi drug resistance tuberculosis (mdr-tb) worldwide highlights the urgent need to search for new anti-tuberculosis compounds. it has been reported that medicinal plant, dracocephalum kotschyi, possesses some an...

background & aim:vaginal disease has always been a great concern of women. medicinal plants as natural resources with fewer side effects can effectively treat these infections given the diversity of these infections, resistance to antibiotics and side effects of existing drugs. the present study aimed to compare antimicrobial effects of methanol extract of francoeuria undulata on growth of seve...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of methanol extract of Evolvulus nummularius (L) L. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disc diffusion and broth serial dilution tests were used to determine the antibacterial activity of the methanol extract against two Gram-positive bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilus NCIM 2718, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) and three Gram-negative bac...

Objective: The present investigation was an attempt to evaluate the phytochemical constituents, free radical scavenging activities and antioxidant properties of the methanol extract of leaves of Hypericum hookerianum. Methods: The total antioxidant activity was assayed by DPPH free radical scavenging assay method. The phytochemicals in the methanol extract of leaves of Hypericum hookerianum wer...

Reanmongkol, W., Subhadhirasakul, S. and Bouking, P. Antinociceptive and antipyretic activities of extracts and fractions from Dracaena loureiri in experimental animals Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2003, 25(4) : 467-476 Dried coarsely powdered material from the stem woods of Dracaena loureiri Gagnep (D loureiri) has extracted with hexane and methanol to give hexane and methanol extracts, re...

The antibacterial activity of the crude methanol extract of Woodfordia fruticosa Kurz. flower was evaluated at two different concentrations by the agar well diffusion method. The methanol extract of the flower exhibited antibacterial activity at varied levels except against Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus flavus. The methanol extract was most active against Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes. The ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different levels of echinacea (echinacea purpurea) methanol extract on the growth performances (final weight (fw), daily growth ratio (dgr), feed conversion rate (fcr), voluntary feed intake (vfi) and protein efficiency ratio (per) and some of hematological parameters (hemoglobin (hb), hematocrit (hct), red blood cell (rbc) and white blo...

The antibacterial activity of the aqueous, ethanol, methanol and petroleum ether Soxhlet extracts of sundried stem bark of Spathodea campanulata P. Beauv. (Bignoniaceae) was investigated by testing the extracts against B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the methanol extract was determined against the four bacteria strains and C. albi...
