Due to toxic and adverse side effects of synthetic drugs, traditional herbal medicine has the potential as a source of new bioactive molecules. That is why we investigated this research, searching new anti-inflammatory drugs from plants growing around us. The anti-inflammatory effect of the mixture of different plants used in traditional medicine (Alkanna tinctoria, Rubia tinctorum and Artemisia herba alba) were studied using carrageenan-induced paw edema (oil mixture extract 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg). These material reduces carrageenan-induced inflammation in rats and shows inhibition after 4 h especially at a concentration 200 mg/
The effects of species compositions (two-species mixtures or monocultures) and hydraulic retention times (HRT; 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 hours) on total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal from eutrophic water were studied in a constructed wetland. Two species mixtures showed higher efficiency to remove TN and TP than monocultures. Average removal efficiency of TN and TP was 49.6% and 34.0%, respectively. A longer HRT enhanced the removal efficiency of TN and TP, which suggested that species mixtures, HRT, and species mixtures × HRT interaction were useful for increasing the wastewater TN and TP removal.
