Plant foraging is a millennia-old activity still practiced by many people in the Middle East, particularly Fertile Crescent region, where several socioeconomic, ecological, and cultural factors shape this practice. This study seeks to understand drivers of plant complex region characterized highly diverse linguistic, religious, groups. Our aims document wild plants used Kurds Western Iran, identify similarities differences among Hawraman Mukriyan Kurdish groups compare our findings with...
One of the current concerns to human health is antibiotic resistance, which promotes use antibiotics that are more harmful, expensive, and ineffective. In this condition, researchers turning innovative options combat alarming situation. Combining herbal medicine with nanotechnology has created a new strategy increase effectiveness phytochemical compounds in overcoming antimicrobial resistance. Pistacia atlantica one promising herbs medicinal benefits, but its poor solubility biological...
The primary purposes of this work were to study the influence distillation temperature on yield turpentine essential oil hydrodistilled from Pinus roxburghii oleoresin and obtain products with powerful bioactivities by short path molecular oil. Our findings showed that hydrodistillation affected as well antioxidant antimicrobial properties oil: highest (20.27 %) obtained for distilled at 180 °C. was subsequently separated into fractions sub-fractions whose activity determined DPPH scavenging...
Iraqi Kurdistan is a special hotspot for bio-cultural diversity and investigating patterns of traditional wild food plant foraging, considering that this area was the home first Neolithic communities has been, over millennia, crossroad different civilizations cultures. The aim ethnobotanical field study to cross-culturally compare plants traditionally gathered by Kurdish Muslims those ancient Kakai (Yarsan) religious group possibly better understand human ecology behind these...
This article aims to contribute the limited literature on traditional gastronomic knowledge concerning acorn-based bread by ethnographically documenting ingredients, preparation techniques and consumption practices of baked goods made from acorn seeds flour that are still used today or at least present in living memory. A qualitative comparative case method was adopted, ethnographic data were gathered 67 people six selected Mediterranean, Central Asian Middle Eastern countries. The analysis...
Developing biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using plant extract is an environmentally friendly method to reduce the use harmful chemical substances. The green synthesis Ag-NPs by Lawsonia inermis and its cellular toxicity antimicrobial effect was studied. physical properties synthesised were investigated UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning, transmission electron microscopy. average size 40 nm. XRD result shows peaks at 2θ = 38.07°, 44.26°, 64.43°,...
Abstract Arylazo sulfones have been established as photoactive precursors in visible‐light photoreactions without any additional catalysts. The arylation of various (hetero) aromatic substrates and isonitriles was carried a simple solar microcapillary reactor three different geographical locations (Germany, Italy Brazil). High conversion the starting well short reaction times were observed.
Topical treatments are a potential therapeutic option for the therapy of osteoarthritis, with significant data supporting effectiveness and safety topical formulation. gel formulations may offer an alternative to oral relieve osteoarthritis (OA) pain while decreasing systemic exposure. capsaicin transemulgel represent effective safe alternative. The was prepared from aqueous Aloe vera Carbopol 934 in clove oil emulsion. optimized showed pH 6.1 ± 0.1 viscosity 15263-998 cps. Data vitro...
Hydrodeaminated and monodeuterated aromatics were obtained via a visible-light driven reaction of arylazo sulfones. Deuteration occurs efficiently in deuterated media such as isopropanol-
A dozen Iris species (Iridaceae) are considered traditional remedies in Kurdistan, especially for treating inflammations. Phytochemical studies still scarce. The information reported the literature about growing Kurdistan has been summarized first part of this paper, although, except persica, investigations have performed on vegetal samples collected countries different from Kurdistan. In second work, we investigated, time, contents methanolic extracts postii aerial parts and rhizomes that...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid materials composed of both organic and inorganic elements. MOF materials, because their unique structures properties, such as controllable pore size, large surface area, excellent catalytic activity, high density active sites, applied in electrochemical sensors systems for the sensitive, quick, low-cost detection multiple analytes. MOFs, with specific shape, adjustable volume, will provide strong interaction compounds via abundant functional groups,...
The majority of Kurds inhabit a region that includes adjacent parts Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. This review shows the traditional medicine is still used by Kurdish peoples underlines medicinal value great number plants locally. uses include treatment variety diseases, ranging from simple stomach-ache to highly complicate male female disorders; even sexual weakness kidney stones are treated plants. for curing gastro-intestinal disorders inflammation, followed urinary tract disorders, skin...
Traditional medicine is still widely practiced in Iraqi Kurdistan, especially by people living villages on mountainous regions; medicinal plants are also sold the markets of large towns, such as at Erbil, capital Kurdistan Autonomous Region. About a dozen Verbascum species (Scrophulariaceae) commonly employed Kurdish traditional medicine, for treating burns and other skin diseases. However, isolation bioactive secondary metabolites from these has not been subject intense scientific...
Hyperthermia is an additional treatment method to radiation therapy/chemotherapy, which increases the survival rate of patients without side effects. Nowadays, Auroshell nanoparticles have attracted much attention due their precise control over heat use for medical purposes. In this research, iron/gold were synthesised using green nanotechnology approach. gold@hematite and characterised with rosemary extract in one step by X-ray powder diffraction, SEM, high-resolution transmission electron...
A new glucosyl flavone, 5,7,2′,5′-tetrahydroxyflavone 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, named loeflingiin, together with apigenin 6-C-glucoside (isovitexin), coumarins citropten and isompinellin, triterpenoids betulin betulinic acid, a mixture of phytosterols β-sitosterol, stigmasterol campesterol were isolated for the first time from leaves wild Plantago loeflingii L. (Plantaginaceae) collected in Iraqi Kurdistan region. The plant is used by local people to treat wounds as vulnerary remedy....
Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of different parts Iris persica L. were investigated for the first time GC-FID and GC-MS; moreover, their antifungal activities determined. 34, 32, 27, 17 compounds identified in from air-dried flowers, leaves, rhizomes fresh bulbs, respectively, representing ≥ 98% each oil. The major constituents flower essential oil phenylethanol (24.8%) furfural (13.8%), which, as main component, constituted also 39.0% 22.2% leaf rhizome volatile fractions,...
The family Iridaceae contains 92 genera and more than 1800 species, mostly perennial herbs with underground storage organs called rhizomes (bulbs). Some are important in traditional medicines, especially Iris Gladiolus. genus belongs to this comprises about hundreds of species among them, 12 found Iraq. It has been widely used various medicines worldwide persica is folk medicine the Kurdistan region Iraq as an effective treatment tumours, inflammation, antibacterial antifungal agent. Earlier...
