Persian oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) belongs the family Fagaceae, is a medicinal plant which seed flour is used to treat inflammatory and gastric ulcers by the tribes in south western Iran. The current study was done to evaluate the effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of Q. brantii seed flour for treatment of gastric ulcers induced by ethanol in Wistar rats. The hydro-alcoholic extract of Q. bran...

considering great medicinal value of hyssopus officinalis l. and possibility of its mass production through in vitro culture, two individual experiments was conducted. effect of various concentrations (0, 2.2, 4.4 and 11 µmol) of tdz and bap in combination with 1 µmol of iaa on direct regeneration from nodal explants were assessed. significant difference between treatments was observed (p≤ 0.01...

the proposed method, the profit maximization problem is transformed into a minimization problem that can be solved by a traditional hydro-thermal unit commitment program after implementing a few modifications. The paper describes t he modifications introduced in a unit commitment program based on the Lagrangian relaxation approach and on a disaggregated Bundle method for the solution of the dua...

In the title compound, C14H13NO3, the dihedral angles between the central pyrrolidine ring and the pendant tetra-hydro-furan and phenyl rings are 5.34 (18) and 58.99 (17)°, respectively. The tetra-hydro-furan ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions, generating a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, 6,7-de-hydro-royleanone, C20H26O3 [systematic name: (4bS)-3-hy-droxy-2-isopropyl-4b,8,8-trimethyl-4b,5,6,7,8,8a-hexa-hydro-phenanthrene-1,4-dione] was isolated from Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. The compound crystallizes in the space group P21. The crystal structure features two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the [010] direction.

In the title mol-ecule, C11H10ClFO2, the benzene ring, the F atom and the O atom of the di-hydro-pyran ring are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.007 Å. The di-hydro-pyran ring is in a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of weak C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.

The structure of the racemic title compound, C(10)H(15)NO(4), consists of a tricyclic skeleton comprising a six-membered piperidine ring and five-membered isoxazolidine and tetra-hydro-furan rings. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted chair conformation, while the isoxazolidine and tetra-hydro-furan rings have envelope conformations.

In the title compound, C(19)H(22)N(4)O(2), the tetra-hydro-pyrimidine ring adopts an envelope conformation (with the N atom connected to the benzyl group representing the flap). This benzyl group occupies a quasi-axial position. The two benzyl groups lie over the tetra-hydro-pyridimidine ring. The amino group is a hydrogen-bond donor to the nitro group.
