METHODS: The present study was performed in Leishmaniasis Reference Lab at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Iran during 2016-2017. The IC50 values were calculated in both the promastigote and amastigote stages in J774 macrophage in comparison with meglumine antimoniate (MA) as positive control. In addition, cytotoxicity effects of essential oils and nano-emulsions prepared from both plants against macrophages were evaluated.

RESULTS: Both essential oil and nano-emulsion of

CONCLUSION: The nano-emulsions of both plants were more effective than essential oil in both MIR and amastigote. However, in comparison with MA, the
