Introduction: Botanical medicine is available and has a little side effects and toxic effects compared with chemical drugs. In this research, we consider effects of Pimpinella anisum L. with ethambutol in growth of Mycobacterium bovis. Methods & Materials: Ethanolic extract was prepared by percolation method. 0.5 Mc Farland of Mycobacterium bovis from Pasteur institute BCG vaccine was cultured on 24 wells plates contain middle brook 7H10 in different dilution. All plates were incubated at 37°C and examined after 1 week. Results: Most effective concentration of extraction of Pimpinella anisum L. was 400 mg/m that had inhibition growth effect as like as MIC of ethambutol. We didnā??t have any inhibition zone with disks containing ethanolic extraction by disk diffusion method because extraction couldnā??t diffuse across the disk. Conclusion: As extraction of Pimpinella anisum L. with 400mg/ml concentration caused to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium bovis, we suggest to isolate and consider antibacterial effect of matter in whole extraction by HPLC in the further studies.
