The current article focuses on the morphological and molecular characterization of often inconspicuous genus Amicula. This recently erected from brackish marine sediments was monotypic but here we describe two new tropical species: Amicula micronesica sp. nov. vermiculata Once considered an incertae sedis regarding its higher rank taxonomy, position among family Diploneidaceae is proposed by ph...

objective: achillea is a traditional medicinal herb which contains different phenol and flavonoid compounds that are responsible for achillea pharmacological effects. we aimed to determine phenol and flavonoid contents, besides antioxidant activities of different extracts from achillea eriophoraa (a. eriophora) dc. and achillea biebersteinii (a. biebersteinii) afan. (endemic species in iran) an...

This study reports the essential oil composition and antioxidant activity of the essential oil extract of aerial parts of Achillea Wilhelmsii. GC/MS analysis identified thirty compounds representing 94.48% of the oil. The main components comprising 86.99% of the oil were α-thujene (6.11%), α-pinene (5.11%), sabinene (5.23%), p-cymene (7%), 1,8-cineole (6%), linalool(10%), camphor (8.43%), thymo...

conclusions according to antioxidant activity outcomes, the amount of ic50s of aqueous extracts of flower and stem and also butylated hydroxyl toluene (bht) as standard were 232.34, 63.25 and 45.59 ppm respectively. ultimately, it was highlighted that antioxidant activity of aqueous extract of flower was weaker than stem. results sixty one compounds were identified in the essential oil of the f...

Achillea millefolium belong to the asteraceae family and from genus achillea. In this study essential oils were extracted from all aerial parts via hydro distillation (HD) method by clevenger set . By using of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) technique the chemicals component essential oil were identified. About 41 components with were identified which encompassed 97.66 percent of ...
