Pages 251-255Background & AimVaginal 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 several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria causing vaginal infections.ExperimentalFrancoeuria Undulata as an indigenous Iranian plant was collected in two harvest times (T1 and T2). Methanol extract of aerial parts of the plant was prepared. The effects of various concentrations (62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg/ml)of methanol extracts were studied onKlebsiella and Enterobacter as gram-negative pathogens. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of bacterial growth and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined using macro-dilution method. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA.ResultsThe results showed that methanol extracts of aerial parts of Francoeuria Undulata inhibit bacterial growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes. MICs varied from 125mg/ml to 250 mg/ml in the old and new harvest times. Therefore, the smallest diameter of inhibition zone belonged to Klebsiella pneumoniae at 62.5mg/ml concentration in the old harvest time and the largestdiameter of inhibitory zone belonged tothe second strains of Klebsiellapneumoniae at 500mg/ml concentration in the new harvest time.Recommended applications/industriesThe findings of the study indicated that methanol extracts of Francoeuria Undulata at two old and new harvest times had strong antibacterial and inhibitory effects on gram-negative bacteria causing vaginal infections.Keywords: Francoeuria Undulata, Antibacterial activity, methanol extract

Pages 257-267Background & AimOxidative stresses caused by free radicals are known to promote many diseases such as inflammation and cancer; therefore, any plant product that can inhibit free radical production can play an important role in preventing diseases. We aimed to compare the fracture rate and the scavenging activity of free radicals, and the antioxidant composition of rolB-transformed hairy root of Catharanthus roseus with those of the plantʼs natural root and leaf.ExperimentalHairy root of the Madagascar periwinkle (C. roseus) were induced using Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain ATCC 15834 to transfer the rolB gene. PCR analysis was used to identify the geneʼs presence in the transformed hairy root. Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and HPLC were used to determine total phenolics and gallic acid. This study also entailed rapid screening of antioxidant by dot-blot DPPH staining on thin-layer chromatography (TLC), radicals fracture rate, free radical scavenging by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, and nitric oxide-scavenging activities by Griess reagent.ResultsOur results showed that phenolic and gallic acid content in the ethanol extract of hairy root was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than that naturally found in the root and leaf of C. roseus. The hairy root extract had the highest dot-blot staining and fracture rate of radicals and the lowest IC50 for inhibition of DPPH• and •NO. The transgenic hairy root of C. roseus showed high number of scavenging radicals, whereas the most active ethanol extract of hairy root registered by the highest level of gallic acid and total phenolic content.Recommended applications/industriesThe transformed hairy roots can be considered as a rich natural source of antioxidants.

Pages 269-274Background & AimSalvia hydrangea is one of the medicinal plants belonging to Lamiaceae family. Medicinal plants can be marketed as fresh or dried products; however aromatic plants are often dried before extraction to reduce moisture content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on qualitative and quantitative changes in essential oil of sage.ExperimentalTo determine the effect of drying methods on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the plant essential oil, samples were dried in sunlight, shade, mechanical oven at 65ºC and then compared with fresh samples. The essential oils of all samples were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC and GC–MS.ResultsThe results showed that different drying methods had significant effects on essential oil content. According to results fresh herbs had the highest essential oil content followed by shade drying, sun drying and oven drying samples, respectively. Significant changes in chemical compound amount of the essential oils were observed which associated with the drying methods. Significant differences occurred among several constituents in the extracted essential oils, including a-pinene, camphene, phellandrene, 1,8-cineole and bornylacetate.Recommended applications/industriesDrying of Salvia hydrangea aerial parts in the shade is more suitable for obtaining higher amount of oil yield and percentage of a-pinene and 1,8-cineole. Therefore, shade drying could be recommended for extraction of essential oil from this plant on an industrial scale.Keywords: Salvia hydrangea, essential oil, a-pinene
