A new phenylethanoid tetraglycoside, physocalycoside (2), was isolated from the aerial parts of Phlomis physocalyx. Its structure was identified as 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-beta-phenylethoxy-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-4-O-feruloyl-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside, on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. In addition, one known iridoid glu...

Spatio-temporal distribution of epifauna collected with a sledge was studied on the Cilician shelf of the Mediterranean Sea. There were two different communities: the shallow community was restricted to water at 5 and 10 m deep with sandy bottom inhabited abundantly by Conomurex persicus, Arnoglossus laterna and Murex trunculus. Conomurex persicus, an introduced tropical species predominated th...

background: ferula persica has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of high blood pressure. in this study acute and chronic effect of aqueous f. persica extract on bp of hypertensive rats and its possible mechanism of action have been investigated. methods: eighty two male wistar rats were divided into 12 experimental groups. hypertension was induced by goldblatt method in the anesth...

Investigation on Seedling Emergence from Direct Seeding of Quercus Persica, Pistacia Atlantica and Acer Cineracens in Natural Conditions Ilam, Dalab Forests

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is an interesting issue of nanoscience due to its simplicity and eco-friendliness. The present study describes a cheaper, non-toxic and simple route for biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles using Phlomis cancellata Bunge extracts. Since the experimental conditions of this procedure play vital roles in the synthesis rate of the nanoparticles, a response sur...

The oils obtained by hydrodistillation and steam distillation of the aerial parts of Stachys persica Gmel. and Stachys byzantina C. Koch grown in Iran were analyzed by GC/MS. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of S. persica was characterized by a high amount of non-terpenoid components of which methyllinoleate (27.7%), hexadecanoic acid (9.8%) and 6,10,14-trimet...
