background: achillea talagonica (asteraceae) is an endemic herbaceous plant in iran with small yellow flowers and several times pinnately divided leaves in worm shape. the plant was found to be cytotoxic in our previous studies.   materials and methods: a. talagonica was collected in may 2005 from talegan in north of iran during the full flowering stage. dried aerial parts of the plant were red...

A number of internal inconsistencies, misleading conclusions and lack of completeness in the analyses of the small x deep inelastic data in recent papers of HERA physicists, particularly in a very recent one by the H1 collaboration are pointed out. It is also shown that, when an analysis without prejudice is carried over, the situation is very different from the one claimed there in what respec...

Polylysine has been shown to possess various biological activities. It is bacteriostatic (Katchalski, Bichowski-Slomnitzki & Volcani, 1953) and virostatic (Stahmann, Graf, Patterson, Walker & Watson, 1951); it inhibits thromboplastic activity (de Vries et al. 1951), fibrinolysis (Ginsburg, de Vries & Katchalski, 1952), the proteolytic activity of pepsin (Katchalski, Berger & Neumann, 1954) and ...

A new flavone C-glycoside, isovitexin 6''-O-E-p-coumarate (1) and two known flavonoid glycosides--quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (2) and isoorientin (3)--were isolated from an ethanol extract of aerial parts of Clematis rehderiana. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. The antioxidant effects of the two flavone C-glycosides were evaluated by both the MTT and DPPH ...

The photosensitized chemistry of three aromatic ketones (xanthone, flavone, and acetophenone) also secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) arising from the photo-oxidation naphthalene was investigated by means transient absorption spectroscopy.

Hispidulin is well-known natural bioactive flavone on behalf of its pharmacological aspects. This review contains data on isolation, synthetic methodology, pharmacokinetics and bioactivities of hispidulin. The article provides a critical assessment of present knowledge about hispidulin with some clear conclusions, perspectives and directions for future research in potential applications.
