Analytical HPTLC analysis of ethanolic extracts of leaf and fruits of Momordica tuberosa and Momordica dioica (Cucurbitaceae) showed the presence of charantin with Rf value 0.31at 536nm. Maximum amount of Charantin was found in the leaves of M. dioica than the fruits. Comparatively less amount of charantin was detected in the leaves and fruits of M. tuberosa Apart from charantin other saponins ...

BACKGROUND Stemona tuberosa has long been used in Korean and Chinese medicine to ameliorate various lung diseases such as pneumonia and bronchitis.

The roots of Stemona tuberosa have been used as an antitussive and insecticide remedy for thousands of years. On the chemical investigation of the roots of S. tuberosa, two new tuberostemonine-type alkaloids, epoxy-tuberostemonol (1), and neotuberostemoenone (2), together with a known alkaloid, neotuberostemonine, were isolated and identified. The structures of new alkaloids were established on...

the aim of this research was to improve postharvest quality and vase life of tuberose cut flowers. treatments in this experiment included: distilled water, 3% ethanol and 5% sucrose as control, thyme oil in 3 levels (50, 75 and 100 mg/l), accel in 3 level (25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and for some of flowers pulsing with 5% sucrose in first 24 hours then puting cut flowers treated with sucrose in thyme ...
