The study of the chemical constituents of the whole plant of Geranium wallichianum (Geraniaceae) has resulted in the isolation and characterization of six compounds. These six compounds were identified as ursolic acid (1), β-sitosterol (2), stigmasterol (3), β-sitosterol galactoside (4), herniarin (5), and 2,4,6-trihydroxyethylbenzoate (6) which were isolated for the first time from Geranium wa...

Metode: Penelitian in vitro ini menggunakan kultur sel kanker kolon manusia (Caco-2), sel kanker hepar manusia (HepG2), sel kanker payudara tergantung hormon (MCF7) dan kultur sel normal hepar manusia (Chang Liver). Efek sitotoksik diukur melalui uji MTT melalui penentuan kadar yang membunuh 50% sel (IC50). Mekanisme sitotoksik dipelajari dengan menentukan pengaruh penambahan γ-sitosterol pada ...

The phytochemical study of flowering shoots of Caragana bungei Ledeb., Fabaceae, collected in Tuva Republic (Russian Federation) resulted in the isolation of sixteen compounds identified as β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol-3-Oglucoside, umbelliferone, kaempferol, quercetin, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, isoquercitrin, rutin, narcissin, nicotiflorin, caffeic acid, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-O-caffeoylqu...

The phytochemical study of Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae) led to the isolation through chromatographic techniques of eleven secondary metabolites: sitosterol (1a) and stigmasterol (1b), sitosterol-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (2a) and stigmasterol-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (2b), phaeophytin A (3), 17³-ethoxypheophorbide A (4), 13²-hydroxy phaeophytin B (5), 17³-ethoxypheophorbide B (6), 5,7-dihydroxy...

The effect of cultivar on sterol composition of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seed oil from three industrial cultivars (Principe Borghese, Rebelion F1 and San Marzano) grown in Calabria Region (Southern Italy) was investigated. Sterol composition is presented both as percentage on the total sterol content (%) and as an absolute value (mg/kg). Rebelion F1 produced the worst seed oil in terms ...

Aims: Phytosterols are a subgroup of the steroids, as an important class of bioorganic molecules, widespread in plants, animals, marines as well as fungi and have similarity to cholesterol in structure. These compounds have a long history of consumption as food or pharmaceutical products, and generally recognized as safe without undesirable side effects. Place and Duration of Study: Medicinal p...

rice bran sterols have antioxidant activity as well as physiological and biological effects. because of these benefits, the aim of this study is evaluating the quantity and quality of iranian rice bran sterols. three widespread iranian rice cultivars (khazar, hashemi, and alikazemi) were used for determination of their sterol contents. two methods of sample preparation were compared and the bet...
