Phytochemical Investigations on Four Galium Species (rubiaceae) from Romania
نویسندگان
چکیده
Galium species are used as diuretics, choleretics, against diarrhea and in the treatment of some stomach complaints, gout and epilepsy in folk medicine. Most of these species have been extensively investigated for antraquinones and iridoids but little is known about other bioactive compounds classes. Our research aimed to investigate the chemical composition of four Romanian species of Galium in order to bring new data related to their content in polyphenolcarboxilic acids, sterols and methoxylated flavones. Caffeic and chlorogenic acids were identified in all samples, the richest source of chlorogenic acid being G. odoratum (10387.8 ± 45.67 μg/g). Regarding the sterolic pattern, β-sitosterol and campesterol were detected in all species, the richest source being G. mollugo (219.02 ± 7.24 μg/g and respectively, 15 ± 0.08 μg/g). Hispidulin was the only identified methoxylated flavone and its highest amount was detected in G. mollugo (50.41 ± 0.03 μg/g).

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from aerial parts of Galium verum L. (Rubiaceae) from Iran was examined by a combination of GC and GC/MS. The oil isolated by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. Air-dried aerial parts of Galium verum (80 g) which were collected from Bomehen in Tehran province at full flowering stage on May 2003, were subjected to hydro-dis...

متن کاملDevelopment of Microsatellite Markers Using Pyrosequencing in Galium trifidum (Rubiaceae), a Rare Species in Central Europe
We identify a large number of microsatellites from Galium trfidum, a plant species considered rare and endangered in Central and Western Europe. Using a combination of a total enriched genomic library and small-scale 454 pyrosequencing, we determined 9755 contigs with a length of 100 to 6192 bp. Within this dataset, we identified 153 SSR motifs in 144 contigs. Here, we tested 14 microsatellite ...
