BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Antibiotic therapy is the main choice in treatment of Escherichia coli induced infections. Using herbal medication is an alternative choice in treatment of diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of two traditionally used herbs in Iranian medicine, Anacyclus pyrethrum and Pistacia lentiscus L., on Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND ME...

The present study was carried out to evaluate CNS activity of ethanolic extract of roots of Anacyclus pyrethrum that includes general behavior studies, sedative, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, nootropic activity and antidepressant studies in rats. The results reveal potential neuropharmacological activity of Anacyclus pyrethrum as nootropic and also having antidepressant property. Further neuroch...

An N-alkylamide profiling from an ethanolic Anacyclus pyrethrum DC. root extract was performed using a gradient reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography/UV/electrospray-ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/UV/ESI-MS) method on an embedded polar column. MS1 and MS2 fragmentation data were used for identification purposes while UV was used for quantification. Thirteen N-alkyla...

AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the local anesthetic activity of root extracts of the Anacyclus pyrethrum, and to check its effect of interaction at the site of injection in guinea pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sample included thirty guinea pigs each weighing 450-500 g, maintained under standard conditions. The root extracts were prepared using three solvents, in 1% and 2% co...

In this study, we investigated effects of Anacyclus pyrethrum L. aqueous root extracts on gonadotropins (LH, FSH) and testosterone serum in adult male rats. A total number of 60 male adult rats were divided randomly into five groups (n=12) including one control group (A), sham control (B) and three test groups (C, D and E). Test groups (C, D and E) received 50, 100, 150 mg/kg does of A. pyrethr...
