In Vitro Cestocidal Activity of Thymol on Mesocestoides corti Tetrathyridia and Adult Worms
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-09)
Nothing is known about the possible effect of thymol or other compounds of essential oils against the adult worms of cestodes. The aim of the present work was to determine in vitro cestodicidal activity of thymol against ...
In vivo activity of albendazole in combination with thymol against Echinococcus multilocularis
(Elsevier Science, 2015-09)
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis and is usually lethal if left untreated. The current strategy for treating human AE is surgical resection of the parasite mass ...
Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of thymol verified in murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) after antimicrobial analysis in Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans
(2018-01-01)
Thymol is a phytocompound present in many plants and several biological effects have been reported, such as antimicrobial effect. However, the biocompatibility of this plant product should be checked. Thereby, the action ...
Electrochemical and associated techniques for the study of the inclusion complexes of thymol and β-cyclodextrin and its interaction with DNA
(Springer, 2018)
Thymol, a potent agent for microbial, fungal, and bacterial disease, has low aqueous solubility and it is genotoxic, i.e., is capable of damaging deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This possible problem of DNA toxicity needs to ...
Thymol action on cells and tissues of the synganglia and salivary glands of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato females (Acari: Ixodidae)
(2019-02-01)
Thymol is a monoterpene present in plants of the families Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae and Apiaceae. Despite its proven acaricidal activity, little is known about the mechanism of action of thymol in ticks. Thus, the aim of this ...
Allosteric positive interaction of thymol with the GABA-A receptor in primary cultures of mouse cortical neurons
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2006-01)
Thymol is a naturally occurring phenolic monoterpene known for its anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. It is used in dental practice and in anaesthetic halothane preparations. Recent studies have reported enhanced ...
Histopathological study of ovaries of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) exposed to different thymol concentrations
(Springer, 2014-12-01)
Thymol is a monoterpene with proven acaricide action for several tick species. In addition to killing these ectoparasites, thymol can also reduce oviposition and egg hatch rate. However, the effects of thymol on the ...
Thymus vulgaris L. and thymol assist murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) in the control of in vitro infections by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans
(2017-08-01)
Abstract: Microorganisms are capable to combat defense cells by means of strategies that contribute to their stabilization and proliferation in invaded tissues. Frequently antimicrobial-resistant strains appear; therefore, ...
Antileishmanial activity evaluation of poly(thymolformaldehyde)—A biobased material from thymol
(2021-11-01)
A new biobased compound was prepared from commercially available monoterpene thymol, obtained from the essential oil of a cultivated plant, Thymus vulgaris L. (Lamiaceae), together with formaldehyde. The final product, ...
Efficacy of albendazole in combination with thymol against Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces and metacestodes
(Elsevier Science, 2014-08)
The larval (metacestode) stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis causes alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a mainly hepatic disease characterized by continuous asexual proliferation of metacestodes by exogenous budding, ...
