Marine algae produce different secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities. Many studies have been achieved on the screening effects marine organisms and lot active compounds were isolated characterized.In an attempt to find cytotoxic compound hexane fraction, isolation, identification, cytotoxicity this fraction performed.In study, total methanolic (70%) extract partition fractions hexane, chloroform (CHCl(3)), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), MeOH-H(2)O Sargassum angustifolium,...

Abstract Fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum graecum L ) is a plant traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes. It contains an unusual amino acid, 4‐hydroxyisoleucine, demonstrated to have insulinotropic and antidiabetic properties in animal models. Here we examine effect 4‐hydroxyisoleucine on liver function blood glucose two rat models insulin resistance, fructose‐fed rats streptozotocin‐induced diabetes type 2. In rats, levels damage marker aspartate transaminase were markedly (84% 93%,...

In this study, in vitro evaluation of cholinesterase inhibitory (ChEI) activity various plants including betel nuts (Areca catechu L.), clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum aerial parts dodder (Cuscuta chinensis Lam.), common polypody rhizomes (Polypodium vulgare L.) and turpeth roots (Ipomoea turpethum R. Br.) which were recommended for the treatment AD symptoms Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) is reported. Among them, aqueous extract A. L. was found as most potent anti-AChE (IC50 = 32.00...

Lythrum salicaria L. (Lythraceae), a herbaceous plant growing widely in Iran, has been well known for many centuries its astringent and styptic properties. A phytochemical investigation of this plant, based on spectroscopic analysis, identified fourteen compounds: 5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one (1), umbelliferone-6-carboxylic acid (2), 3,3',4'-tri-O-methylellagic acid-4-O-beta-D-(2"-acetyl)-glucopyranoside (3), acid-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), daucosterol (5), phytol (6), dodecanoic (7),...

Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are two common preservatives used in Iran, yet use of these doogh (Iranian dairy-based drink) is forbidden according to national standards. The aim this study was consider the presence by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). method performed using a C18 column at 225 nm. mobile phase contained ammonium acetate buffer (pH = 4.2) acetonitrile (80:20 v/v). survey included 130 samples for identification quantification named...

Azadirachta indica A.Juss. and Melia azedarach L. are 2 closely related species from Meliaceae that considered noteworthy medicinal plants in the world have very often been confused with each other. Various evaluations like organoleptic microscopic characteristics, preliminary phytochemical screening, fluorescence analysis were carried out on pulp, husk, leaves, seeds of both powdered form to establish appropriate data can aid rapid easy differentiation between them. The results showed these...
