in order to find the plant extracts with antifungal activity, 18 plant species were screened. in this study, distilled water, methanol, chloroform, aceton and ethanol were employed to obtain crude extract from plant samples. the extracts were tested against sugar beet root rot agents, rhizoctonia solani and phytophthora drechsleri. the inhibitory effect of different extracts was investigated by...

In an attempt to identify herbal drugs which may become useful in the prevention of diabetes, antioxidant potentials and α-amylase inhibition by the ethanol extracts of two plants belonging to Lamiaceae family, Otostegia persica and Zataria multiflora, and their different fractions were studied. Also, inhibition of α-amylase by Salvia mirzayanii and its fractions was evaluated. All of the sampl...

Zataria multiflora Boiss known as Avishan Shirazi (in Iran) is one of the valuable Iranian medicinal plants. The aim of study was to evaluate anti-Candida activity of Z. multiflora against different species of Candida in vitro. Anti-Candida activity of the aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic maceration extract of the aerial parts of Z. multiflora Boiss was studied in vitro. Anti-Candida activity ...

Carbapenem resistance due to acquired metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) is considered to be more serious than other resistance mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Zataria multiflora Boiss and Carum copticum plants on IMP-producing P.aeruginosa strains. This experimental study was carried out on hospitalized burn patients during 2011 and 2012. Antibiotics...

Effect of Zataria multiflora on bacterial vaginosis and Trichomonas vaginalis is shown in vivo and in vitro. We compare the effectiveness of Zataria multiflora cream and oral metronidazole pill on results of treatment for vaginal infections including Trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis; these infections occur simultaneously. The study included 420 women with bacterial vaginosis, Trichomonas vag...

Objective: The aim of the current study was to evaluate adverse effects of Zataria multiflora essential oil on epididymal sperm quality, and testicular tissue following experimentally induced copper poisoning in mice. Methods: The study comprised of four different groups of twelve mice as follows: Group N (Normal) and group Cu (Copper) received pure drinking water, while Groups Z (Zataria multi...

OBJECTIVE At present, there are many antiepileptic drugs with a wide range of side effects on the human body. It was assumed that Zataria multiflora Boiss (Z. multiflora) with sedative, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory activity may be effective in the treatment of epilepsy. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of Z. multiflora hydroalcoholic extract and its fraction extr...

zataria multiflora boiss is used in traditional folk remedies as antiseptic, analgesic, carminative, anthelmintic medication. the main components of zataria multiflora are phenolic compounds such as thymol and carvacrol. the aim of this study was developed a simple and rapid method for determination of the thymol in different extracts of zataria multiflora by hplc method. the dried aerial parts...

The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. In the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles' (Ag NPs) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents g-1 DW (µmol TE g-1 DW), ranged from 116.0...
