Several acridone alkaloids have been isolated from roots of Ruta graveolens (for summary see [1, 2]). One of the main alkaloids is rutacridone (1) which seems to be a precursor of several derivatives with hydroxyl or chlorine functions at the isopropyl moiety. As an intermediate an 18,19-epoxide of rutacridone could be postulated [1, 3] that has not yet been identified. Screening for antimicrob...

Dried parts of different plant species often look alike, especially in powdered form, making them very difficult to identify. Ruta graveolens, sold as a dried medicinal herb, can be adulterated with Euphorbia dracunculoides. The genomic DNA was isolated from the leaf powder (100 mg each) using the modified CTAB method. Internal transcribed spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA-I...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Ruta oreojasme is an endangered species endemic to Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), where it occurs in small populations with disjunct distribution. Nothing is known about the genetic structure of these populations. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a microsatellite-enriched library method, 10 microsatellite markers have been developed from R. oreojasme, all ...

BACKGROUND Since the time when drugs began to be used, it became evident that they could produce a therapeutic effect, but also a clinical condition of toxicity or no effect at all on humans, despite using the same doses in different patients. Such untoward effects were termed "drug idiosyncrasy" and also "idiosyncratic drug effects", but the factors producing such diverse responses were never ...

The insecticidal toxicities of five essential oils against Pochazia shantungensis adults and nymphs, newly recorded pests, were evaluated. The LC50 values of Thymus vulgaris, Ruta graveolens, Citrus aurantium, Leptospermum petersonii and Achillea millefolium oils were recorded as 57.48, 84.44, 92.58, 113.26 and 125.78 mg/L, respectively, against P. shantungensis nymphs using the leaf dipping bi...
