pharmacological activities of 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-hexanonic acid (hmpha), a phenolic compound, isolated from the extract of pycnocycla spinosa was investigated on ileum motility in vivo and in vitro . ileum motility was examined by measuring charcoal movement through the gut in mice. in addition, antidiarrhoeal activity of hmpha was assessed and compared with standard drug; loperamide...

abstract   extract prepared from aerial part of pycnocycla spinosa is a relaxant of rat ileum contractions. the objective of this research was to study the spasmolytic activity of p. spinosa root extract for comparison with the aerial part extract. hydroalcoholic extracts were prepared by percolation method. a portion of rat ileum was removed and suspended under 1 g tension in tyrode’s solution...

isovanillin and iso-acetovanillon are two phenolic components isolated from a number of plants including pycnocycla spinosa . p. spinosa extract has antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activities. however, no comparative study has been done on antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso- acetovanillon, so far. the aim of this study was to investigate antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso-acet...

OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorders with severe impact on quality of life. Reducing serum glucose levels and normalization of serum lipid is of great clinical importance for treating diabetes. To our knowledge, there are not any evidences about the anti-diabetic action of capparis spinosa root. In the present study the effects of the C. spinosa root extract on dia...

PURPOSE Punica granatum L. var. granatum (Pomegranate), an herbaceous plant found in Iran, The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic effects, induction of apoptosis, and the mechanism of cell death of ethanol extract from Punica granatum L. var. spinosa on the mouse fibrosarcoma cell line, WEHI-164. METHODS Various parts of the herbs were extracted from fruit using ethanol as the...

this study was conducted to evaluate a temperature regime ranged from 15 to 30°c on survival, growth, life span and reproductive traits (reproductive period, clutch number, offspring number) of phallocryptus spinosa from iran. newly hatched nauplii (n= 200 and 3 replicates per each treatment) were allocated into containers and maintained at various temperature regimes (at 15, 20, 25 and 30˚c). ...

The different concentrations of benzene, alcoholic and aqueous root extracts of Dalbergia spinosa Roxb. (Fabaceae) have been studied for its anitmicrobial activity against certain gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus), gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Escherichia coli) bacteria and fungi (Candida albicans) using cup plate method. Benzene, alcoholic extracts(50, 75 an...
