iranian endodontic journal, 2015Co-Authors: Saeed Changizi Ashtiyani, Parvin YarmohamadiAbstract:The Effect of Althaea officinalis.L Root Alcoholic Extract on Blood Sugar Level and Lipid Profiles of Streptozotocin Induced-Diabetic Rats Changizi Ashtiyani S1, Yarmohammadi P1, Hosseini N2, Salehi I3, Ramezani M4 Abstract Introduction: Althaea officinalis is listed among potential anti-diabetic herbal medicines. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the alcoholic extract of Althaea officinalis root on lowering blood sugar and lipid profiles in the treatment of type I diabetes. Materials and Methods: Seventy male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups (n=10 each) as follows: Non-diabetic control, sham receiving normal saline (NS), and the diabetic control groups, which received extract of Althaea officinalis at doses of 200, 400, 800 mg/kg body weight respectively through gastric gavage and glibenclamide 5 mg/kg, for a period of 4 weeks. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg body weight). Results: The hydroalcoholic extract of Althaea officinalis significantly decreased blood glucose levels (P<0.05). in diabetic rats treated, at all doses (200, 400, 800 mg/kg). Significant improvement was also observed in dyslipidemia (p<0.05). caused by diabetes mellitus, as confirmed by reduced levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and significantly elevated levels of HDL. Fasting blood glucose levels of glibenclamide treated rats 200 mg/kg doses of the extract were significantly lower than those in the diabetic control group (P<0.05). However levels of fasting blood glucose in the group treated with 400, 800 mg/kg doses of the extract had no significant difference, as compared to the group treated with glibenclamide (P<0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study discovered significant hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects for the extract of Althaea officinalis in Wistar rats. Keywords: Althea officinalis, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Streptozotocin

evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the Althaea officinalis l leaf extract and its wound healing potency in the rat model of excision wound creation
avicenna journal of phytomedicine, 2015Co-Authors: Maryam Rezaei, Zeynab Dadgar, Ali Noorizadeh, Seyed Alireza Mesbahnamin, Iraj Pakzad, Elham DavodianAbstract:Objectives: Wound is defined simply as the disruption of the biochemical, cellular, and anatomic continuity of a tissue. Plants and their extracts known as phytomedicine have immense potential for the management and treatment of wounds. Materials and Methods: Due to the undesirable side effects, in the control and treatment of the wound infections, it is recommended to use natural materials such as phytochemicals instead of chemically synthesized drugs. Thus, the aim of this research was to study the anti-microbial and wound healing potential of Althaea officinalis L. hydroalchoholic extract in comparison with ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and penicillin antibiotics on clinical strains as well as pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes under in vitro conditions using micro broth dilution and disc diffusion methods. Moreover, MIC and MBC of its hydroalchoholic extract was also evaluated. Results: The results showed that although Althaea officinalis L. extract was not effective on gram-negative bacteria but it was efficacious on gram-positive bacteria. The extract was also tested in the form of topical administration on excision wound model in rats. In the extract-treated wounds, the wound healing percent was significantly increased in comparison with controls. Conclusions: Based on this research, herbal extract of officinalis L. can be a great candidate for the treatment of gram-positive infections and merits further studies.

Protective effects of Althaea officinalis L. extract in 6-hydroxydopamine-induced hemi-Parkinsonism model: behavioral, biochemical and histochemical evidence
The Journal of Physiological Sciences, 2014Co-Authors: Maryam Rezaei, Masoud AlirezaeiAbstract:It is well known that Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in humans. In this regard, the neuroprotective effect of Althaea officinalis (AO) has already been reported. Therefore, this study examined whether administration of AO extract would improve behavioral, biochemical and structural abnormalities in an experimental animal model of PD in rats. For this purpose, we induced hemi-Parkinsonism by unilateral intranigral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 8 μg/5 μl saline-ascorbate). The rats were pretreated i.p. with AO extract (10 mg/kg) started 6 days before surgery and continued until the 3rd day post-surgery. Regarding oxidative stress, brain MDA concentration (as a lipid peroxidation marker) increased significantly in the 6-OHDA-administered group in comparison with rats pretreated with AO extract. It was found that AO treatment attenuated rotational behavior in the 6-OHDA-administered group and protected the neurons of substantia nigra pars compacta against 6-OHDA toxicity. Overall, AO extract administration indicated neuroprotective effects against 6-OHDA-induced hemi-Parkinsonism in rats.

first report of anthracnose caused by colletotrichum orbiculare f sp from a officinalis of marsh mallow Althaea officinalis in switzerland
Plant Disease, 2005Co-Authors: V V MichelAbstract:Marsh mallow is cultivated in Switzerland for the production of candies of an internationally known brand. Since 2000, important losses have been caused by a new disease with typical anthracnose symptoms, i.e., dark lesions on leaves and stems including stem girdling and wilting, especially after abundant rainfall in the spring and summer. In older lesions with a clear center, black dots appeared and setae were observed with a dissecting microscope. When incubated with high relative humidity, abundant, pink spore masses were produced. During 2002, spores were isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing an antibiotic, and the size of the conidiospores and setae produced in acervuli were measured. Artificial inoculation of a range of potential host plants including Althaea officinalis, A. rosea (hollyhock), Lavatera trimestris, Malva alcea, M. crispa, M. moschata, M. silvestris, Fragariae × ananassa (strawberry), and Hypericum perforatum (St. John's-wort) was carried out in a glasshouse.

First Report of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis of Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis) in Switzerland.
Plant disease, 2005Co-Authors: V V MichelAbstract:Marsh mallow is cultivated in Switzerland for the production of candies of an internationally known brand. Since 2000, important losses have been caused by a new disease with typical anthracnose symptoms, i.e., dark lesions on leaves and stems including stem girdling and wilting, especially after abundant rainfall in the spring and summer. In older lesions with a clear center, black dots appeared and setae were observed with a dissecting microscope. When incubated with high relative humidity, abundant, pink spore masses were produced. During 2002, spores were isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing an antibiotic, and the size of the conidiospores and setae produced in acervuli were measured. Artificial inoculation of a range of potential host plants including Althaea officinalis, A. rosea (hollyhock), Lavatera trimestris, Malva alcea, M. crispa, M. moschata, M. silvestris, Fragariae × ananassa (strawberry), and Hypericum perforatum (St. John's-wort) was carried out in a glasshouse. A spore suspension of 106 spores per ml was sprayed on plants at the 4- to 6-leaf stage until runoff. High temperature (30/20°C, day/night) and relative humidity (>95%) was maintained for 2 weeks after which the plants were inspected visually for the occurrence of disease symptoms. Althaea officinalis, A. rosea, and M. alcea showed typical anthracnose symptoms and were considered as host plants after reisolation of the pathogen from lesions. On the basis of the restricted host range and form and size of the conidiospores (length of 10 to 13 μm and width of 3 to 4 μm), and setae (length of 62 to 75 μm), the pathogen was identified as Colletotrichum orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis (1). During 2003, a laboratory investigation was conducted to determine whether C. orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis is seed transmitted in marsh mallow. The appearance of the disease in marsh mallow fields simultaneously in several regions of Switzerland, where all growers plant the same variety from the same seed source, instigated this work. Seeds from this variety were tested on CGPIM, a semiselective medium for the isolation of Colletotrichum spp. (2). Per seed lot, 400 grains were placed on CGPIM, and C. orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis was found in 15% of seeds harvested from a highly diseased plant. Detection in commercial seed was hindered by extensive contamination with Alternaria spp. and Fusarium spp., but nevertheless, C. orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis could be found at low frequency (1%). The occurrence of Colletotrichum malvarum on marsh mallow was recently described in Europe (3), but to our knowledge, this is the first observation of seed transmission of C. orbiculare f. sp. from A. officinalis on marsh mallow seeds.
