BACKGROUND
Jasminum officinale L. var. grandiflorum (JOG) is a folk medicine used for the treatment of hepatitis in south of China. Phytochemical studies showed that secoiridoid glycosides are the typical constituents of this plant.
OBJECTIVE
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect
The aim of the present study was to assess the antifungal and anti-toxinogenic activity of 15 essential oils (EOs) against three fungi of the genus Aspergillus (A. parasiticus KMi-227-LR, A. parasiticus KMi-220-LR and A. flavus KMi-202-LR). The minimum inhibitory doses (MIDs) of the tested essential
Jasminum is an important genus in the olive family (Oleaceae), comprising about 200 species distributed all over the world. In the current study, the methanolic extract of Jasminum grandiflorum subsp. floribundum aerial parts and its respective fractions; dichloromethane and n-butanol fractions were
OBJECTIVE
To assess and compare the antimicrobial potential and determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Jasminum grandiflorum and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis extracts as potential anti-pathogenic agents in dental caries.
METHODS
Aqueous and ethanol (cold and hot) extracts prepared from
OBJECTIVE
To validate the ethno-therapeutic claim of the traditionally used plant Jasminum auriculatum (J. auriculatum) in skin diseases, by evaluating its wound healing potential along with its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; so as to understand their role in wound
