Several Ferula (Umbelliferae) species have been used in Iranian traditional medicine as antiflatulent, antispasmodic, anticonvulsant, expectorant, etc. In the present study, cytotoxicity and anticonvulsant activity of methanol extracts from several were evaluated. Air-dried samples different parts these plants (Ferula diversivittata Regel & Schmalh. (roots), persica Willd. (aerial parts), ovina (Boiss.) Boiss. badrakema Kos.-Pol. (flowers), latisecta Rech. F. Aell. (fruits)) macerated with...
The genus, Hymenocrater, belongs to the plant family Lamiaceae which contains eleven shrub species, of H. calycinus belonges and grows wildly in Northeastern Iran. From ethyl acetate methanol extracts flowered aerial parts Hymenocrater calycinus, four compounds were isolated using chromatographic methods identified by spectroscopic data (MS, 1 H- 13 C-NMR, HMQC, HMBC H COSY). effect rosmarinic acid, as main component our study was applied Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida...
The leaves of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. bento-rainhae, an endemic Portuguese species, and macrocarpus have been used as food, traditionally medicine, for treating ulcers, urinary tract, inflammatory disorders. present study aims to establish the phytochemical profile main secondary metabolites, together with antimicrobial, antioxidant toxicity assessments both leaf 70% ethanol extracts. Phytochemical screenings were conducted by TLC LC-UV/DAD-ESI/MS chromatographic technique,...
The genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) contains more than 50 shrub species in Iran, and limbata C.A. Meyer grows widely the north central parts of country. Six flavones rosmarinic acid were isolated from ethyl acetate methanol extracts flowered aerial S. collected Semnan province. separation process was carried out using several chromatographic methods. Structural elucidation based on NMR data, comparison with those reported literature. compounds identified as ladanein (1), salvigenin (2), luteolin...
Satureja spicigera (Lamiaceae) grows wildly in Northwest of Iran. In this study, bioassay-guided isolation and identification the main compounds has been reported using various chromatographic methods comparison their spectral data with those literature. Brine shrimp lethality four cancerous cell lines HT29/219, Caco(2), NIH-3T3, T47D were used for cytotoxicity evaluations. From aerial parts S. spicigera, nine known including two flavanones, 5,7,3',5'-tetrahydroxy flavanone (8)...
Abstract Dried leaves of Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad are a popular herbal medicine and dental anesthetic among the nomadic inhabitants southwestern Iran. The present study establishes criteria for identification S. dried whole, fragmented powdered specification as substance using macroscopic microscopic characterization. Quantitative microscopy techniques were also considered. Macroscopically exhibit grayish-green color, broadly ovate in shape with an acute apex, attenuate base, ciliate...
Abstract From the ethyl acetate and methanol extract of aerial parts Satureja atropatana Bonge, which belongs to Lamiaceae family, four flavonoids were isolated. Their structures determined be 5,6,3′-trihydroxy-7,8,4′-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone or 5-desmethoxynobiletin (2), 5,6,4′-trihydroxy-7,8,3′-trimethoxyflavone thymonin (3) luteolin (4) using 1H 13C-NMR MS spectra. Brine shrimp cytotoxicity effects crude extracts isolated compounds examined....
Dried leaves of Lannea velutina A. Rich. and Sorindeia juglandifolia (A. Rich.) Planch. ex Oliv. (family Anacardiaceae) are used in African traditional medicine. Although these medicinal plants have widespread use the treatment inflammatory diseases, there is no scientific data concerning their preclinical or clinical safety. This work aimed to investigate phytochemical properties both species using HPLC-UV/DAD, as well vivo oral repeated-dose toxicity 70% hydroethanolic leaf extract S....
Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad is a popular herbal medicine among the nomadic inhabitants of southwestern Iran as dental anesthetic and oral antiseptic [1]. Essential oil composition has been already determined carvacrol identified main constituent [2]. Different biological studies were performed using essential but related to quality; safety efficacy leaf traditional preparations (THPs, infusion decoction) scarce. Hereby results concerning chemical characterization together with antioxidant...
Root tubers of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. (AbR), an endemic species with relevant interest due to conservation concerns, and macrocarpus (AmR) have been traditionally used for culinary medicinal purposes, mainly associated skin infection inflammation. The present study aims establish the quality control criteria proper characterization dried root both as herbal substances, together their preclinical safety assessments. Botanical identification using macroscopic microscopic techniques...
Root tubers of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. (AbR), a vulnerable endemic species, and macrocarpus (AmR) have traditionally been used in Portugal to treat inflammatory infectious skin disorders. The present study aims evaluate the vitro antimicrobial activity crude 70% 96% hydroethanolic extracts both medicinal plants, specifically against multidrug-resistant skin-related pathogens, identify involved marker secondary metabolites also assess pre-clinical toxicity these plant extracts....
Introduction: Anacardium occidentale L., commonly known as cashew tree, has been traditionally used in several countries of Asia, Africa and America, due to its antihyperglycemic properties.
Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad is an endemic plant, widely distributed in the southern part of Iran. Decoction aerial this species a well-known herbal traditional medicine used as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antimicrobial agents. In study, we reported isolation, purification structural elucidation main flavonoids from above mentioned medicinal plant. Xanthomicrol (1), cirsilinetol (2), 6-hydroxyluteolin 7,3'-dimethyl ether (3), cirsimaritin (4), diosmetin (5), acacetin (6),...
The leaf of Massularia acuminata (G. Don) Bullock ex Hoyle (Mal), Rhaphiostylis beninensis (Hook. f.) Planch (Rbl), Telfairia occidentalis Linn. (Tol) and the whole plant Platostoma africanum P. Beauv. (Pal) are ethnomedicines in Nigeria used to treat malaria other diseases. Extracts Mal, Rbl Tol were already tested using β-haematin formation inhibitory assay showed an effect [1,2]. 70% ethanol extracts these medicinal plants submitted a preliminary phytochemical screening by TLC LC-UV/DAD....
