Chemical Constitute and Larvicidal Activity of Fractions of Plant against Malaria Vector .

Backgrand: The genus , belongs to Lamiaceae family, is one of the exclusive subspecies in the flora of Iran. The plants of this genus are used traditionally for treatment of joints pain, gout, jaundice, and as insecticide.

Methods: larvicidal activity of methanol 80% extract and partition fractions of hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate obtained from aerial parts of subspecies against malaria vector was evaluated.
