Iran is an ancient country with a\nmedical backbone acquired from the experiences of ancient Persian scholars, who\nhad made a great contribution to the development of the medical sciences. Many\nmedical and pharmaceutical books by early Persian scientists still exist and may have\nthe potential of leading researchers to new drug discoveries. Owing to the emergence\nof new and antimicrobial-resistant infections, present-day medicine has recently\nbegun focusing on medicinal earths and clays especially as mineral antimicrobials.\nThe current study is, therefore, aimed at gathering information regarding medicinal\nclays in traditional Persian medicine (TPM). Five main Persian materia medica with\nthe key word \u2018tin\u2019 (clay) and current databases such as PubMed, Scopus,\nScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were searched by key words \u2018white, green, red,\nmaroon, violet, black, grey and pink clays\u2019 and \u2018pharmacological effects\u2019. Twenty\nthree clays were found in Persian manuscripts. Although their mineralogical\ncompositions are unknown, different pharmacological properties have been attributed\nto these mineral medicaments. Clay\u2019s properties were widely used in medieval times\nfor the treatment of infections to poisoning. They were also used in compound\nformulations, possibly for their pharmaceutical formulation modifying effects.\nModern scientific proofs have also been found in many of the medicinal clays\nreported in Persian manuscripts. Although many of the reported clays are still\nunknown, their characterization may lead to new medicinal developments. Novel\nanalytical methods available today make it possible to elucidate the chemical\ncompositions of these minerals as parameters responsible for their medicinal effects.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1570163813666161007160036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,3]],"date-time":"2016-11-03T04:41:32Z","timestamp":1478148092000},"page":"2-7","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["An Evidence-Based Review on Medicinal Value of Clays in Traditional Persian Medicine"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ayda","family":"Hosseinkhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hashem","family":"Montaseri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ammar","family":"Hosamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Mehdi","family":"Zarshenas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Phytopharmaceuticals (Traditional Pharmacy), School of Pharmacy, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz,Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","container-title":["Current Drug Discovery Technologies"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/article\/download?doi=10.2174\/1570163813666161007160036","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/146172\/article","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/article\/download?doi=10.2174\/1570163813666161007160036","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]],"date-time":"2022-07-08T12:01:36Z","timestamp":1657281696000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/146172\/article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,3]]}},"alternative-id":["LiveAll1"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/1570163813666161007160036","relation":{},"ISSN":["1570-1638"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1570-1638","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Peer Reviewed","order":0,"name":"review_status","label":"Review Status","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Single blind","order":1,"name":"review_process","label":"Review Process","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Checked with iThenticate","order":0,"name":"screening_status","label":"Screening Status","group":{"name":"plagiarism_screening","label":"Plagiarism Screening"}},{"value":"2016-07-18","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-09-29","order":1,"name":"revised","label":"Revised","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-09-30","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2017-02-08","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
