A nomenclatural study of the Arenaria names referring to species found in Chile is presented. Three names, A. fastigiata, multicaulis, and scopulorum, are illegitimate (Arts. 53.1 52.1 ICN); a new name proposed for fastigiata multicaulis; scopulorum was also nomenclaturally superfluous including type digyna (Art. ICN). digyna, microphylla, oligosperma, pleurantha, rivularis lectotypified, based...

Thymelaea microphylla Coss. et Dur (T. microphylla), a medicinal herb that grows in arid and desert pastures, has been traditionally utilized by Moroccans to treat many diseases, including kidney failure. This study aims evaluate the nephroprotective effect against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity (GM), thus antioxidant activity of an aqueous extract rich flavonoids from aerial part T. (APTM)....

Various species of common box (Buxus) are cultivated in the Arboretum of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Mlyňany under the same soil and climatic conditions; consequently, the examination of alkaloids produced by those plants is of chemotaxonomical importance. From this locality we investigated so far alkaloids from Buxus sempervirens L.[l,2], B. microphylla SIEB, et ZUCC. var. sinica REHD. e...

The objective of this study was to evaluate different biological activities of aqueous and ethanolic extracts from Thymelaea microphylla. Antioxidant capacity was determined using two methods: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation using the β-carotene/linoleate model system. Disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibact...
