Podophylloxin (ptox), primarily obtained from Podophyllum hexandrum, is the precursor for semi-synthetic anticancer drugs viz. etoposide, etopophos, and teniposide. Previous studies established that methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treated cell culture of P. hexandrum accumulate ptox significantly. However, the molecular mechanism of MeJA induced ptox accumulation is yet to be explored. Here, we demonst...

INTRODUCTION Chronic prostatitis displays a variety of symptoms (mainly local pain exhibiting variability in origin and intensity). The purpose of this article is to briefly present the preliminary results of our study examining the role of phytotherapeutic agents in the treatment of chronic prostatitis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included in total fifty-six consecutive patients...

A newly synthesized aromatic polyaminocarboxylate (NBD-ABEDTA, H(4)L) was applied to precapillary derivatizing capillary electrophoresis as a chelating reagent for lanthanide ions (Ln(3+)). The Ln-L complexes provide both kinetic stability on dissociation due to their methyl-EDTA coordinating structure, and high light absorptivity (epsilon(max) = 2.4 x 10(4) cm(-1) mol(-1) dm(3)) in the visible...

in this paper, biharmonic slant helices are studied according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for slant helices to be biharmonic. the biharmonic slant helices arecharacterized in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give some characterizations for tangent bishop spherical images of b-slant helix. additionally, we illu...

In this paper we present new iterative algorithms in convex metric spaces. We show that these iterative schemes are convergent to the fixed point of a single-valued contraction operator. Then we make the comparison of their rate of convergence. Additionally, numerical examples for these iteration processes are given.

Nineteen species of mostly epiphytic lichens from the forests of Nowshahr and Royan located in Mazandaran province (N Iran) are reported. Three species, Ochrolechia pallescens, Phaeophyscia confusa and Usnea longissima, are newly reported for lichenized mycota of Iran and seven species are new to the province. Additionally, a short history of lichenological exploration in the Hyrcanian forest i...

In this study, the window network data envelopment analysis (WNDEA) model will be proposed, that is capable to be used in the presence of panel data. Additionally, the proposed model is applied to evaluate the dynamic efficiency of 5 investment companies in Tehran stock exchange during the period from 2013 to 2017.

this study evaluated the effects of mesobuthus eupeus (me) scorpion venom on inflammatory response following injection. additionally, the present study examined whether immunotherapy at specific time intervals would be effective on inflammatory response after me venom inoculation. animals were divided randomly into four groups: the first group received ld50 of venom and the second and third gro...

Reaction of [ (ML,CI),] with TI[9-SMe,-nido-7,8-C,B,H,,1 affords the new compounds [3,3-L2-4-SMe,closo-3.1 ,2-MC,B,Hl,]. Compounds 1 ( M = Rh, L = CO), 2 ( M = Rh, L2 = I12,T12-1,5-C8H12) and 3 (M = Pd, L, = qz,o-5-OMe-C8H,,) were characterised by microanalysis, multinuclear N M R spectroscopy and, in the case of 1 and 2, single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The experimentally determined c...
