Several plants of Satureja genus have shown anti-tumor activity. We investigated the antileukemia effects of different fractions of Satureja hortensis (Summer savory). The growth inhibitory effect of S. hortensis fractions on K562 and Jurkat leukemia cells were determined by MTT
Age-related alterations of fatty acid composition in liver and brain of AKR mice was investigated. The effect of savory essential oil (Satureja hortensis L.), added with drinking water on fatty acid composition in these organs and the processes of lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes were estimated.
Failure of apoptosis contributes to leukemia progression. We investigated extracts of a native Iranian plant, Satureja bachtiarica, for possible anti-leukemia activity by induction of apoptosis and changes to the cell cycle. Growth inhibition caused by aqueous, butanol, dichloromethane and
BACKGROUND
Traditional herbal medicine is a valuable resource that provides new drugs for cancer treatment.
OBJECTIVE
In this study we aim to screen and investigate the in vitro anti-tumor activities of ten species of plants commonly grown in Southern Iran.
METHODS
We used the MTT colorimetric assay
Essential oils of Artemisia abyssinica and Satureja punctata ssp. punctata from Ethiopia were analyzed by GC and GC/MS, and screened for leishmanicidal activity against promastigote and axenic amastigotes of Leishmania donovani and L. aethiopica, including toxicity studies on human monocytic
