Epub 2022 Jan 16. PMID: 36091288 Abstract Title:  A systematic appraisal of the use of carvacrol-rich plants to treat hydatid cysts. Abstract:  Hydatid cysts occur in the larval stage ofworms in vital organs such as the liver, lung, brain, kidney, heart and spleen. As a result, the formation of these cysts in humans and animals is considered one of the most catastrophic common infections in humans and animals. So far, there is no definitive effective treatment strategy for this disease in humans. Cyst eradication through surgery is the only treatment, which might be difficult or impossible in some cases. The most difficult aspect of cyst removal surgery is recurrence and anaphylactic shock. As a result, many scolicidal medications are ineffective at inactivating the content of hydatid cysts in vivo. Herbal medicines are now considered a potential treatment for the treatment of hydatid cysts due to their effective anti-cystic activities, minimal side effects, and ability to improve immunity. In the present review study, the anti-cystic role of carvacrol as one of the main constituents of the Lamiaceae family on hydatid cyst has been discussed. The results demonstrate that carvacrol-containing essential oils may be utilized as a hydatid cyst inhibitor. This study has also shown the synergistic activity of carvacrol, thymol and other active plant metabolites. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/systematic-appraisal-use-carvacrol-rich-plants-treat-hydatid-cysts" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/systematic-appraisal-use-carvacrol-rich-plants-treat-hydatid-cysts#comments Carvacrol Hydatid Cyst Antiparasitic Agents Essential Oils Review Thu, 09 Feb 2023 23:27:02 +0000 greenmedinfo 270818 at https://greenmedinfo.com B. vulgaris extract and its main compound, berberine in particular demonstrated high scolicidal activities against protoscoleces of E. granulosus. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/b-vulgaris-extract-and-its-main-compound-berberine-particular-demonstrated-hig PMID:  Iran J Parasitol. 2014 Oct-Dec;9(4):503-10. PMID: 25759731 Abstract Title:  Protoscolecidal Effect of Berberis vulgaris Root Extract and Its Main Compound, Berberine in Cystic Echinococcosis. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the metacestode (larvae) stage of dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus and recognized as a major economic and public health concern in the world. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro scolicidal effect of methanolic extract of Berberis vulgaris L. roots and its main compound, berberine against protoscoleces of hydatid cysts.METHODS: For this purpose, protoscoleces were aseptically aspirated from sheep livers having hydatid cysts. Various concentrations of the methanolic extract (0.25-2 mg/ml) and berberine (0.062- 0.5 mg/ml) were used for 5 to 30 min. Viability of protoscoleces was confirmed by eosin exclusive test.RESULTS: In the present study, all of the various concentrations of the B. vulgaris methanolic extract (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/ml) and berberine (0.062, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/ml) revealed significant (P https://greenmedinfo.com/article/b-vulgaris-extract-and-its-main-compound-berberine-particular-demonstrated-hig#comments Barberry Berberine Echinococcosis Hydatid Cyst Scolicidal Dose Response Plant Extracts In Vitro Study Fri, 04 Dec 2015 06:13:05 +0000 greenmedinfo 122082 at https://greenmedinfo.com
