The present study was aimed at identification, isolation and quantification of marker compound Lupeol in Derris heyneana (Wight and Arn) Benth. by using HPTLC. A simple and sensitive High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatographic (HPTLC) method validation was carried out as per the ICH guidelines for the identification and quantification of biomarker lupeol in root, stem and leaves of Derris heyne...

Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.), a popular and widely cultivated fruit world-wide, contains bioactive triterpenes and phenolic compounds with potentially valuable pharmacological functions. This thesis investigated the effects of pre-harvest and postharvest factors on concentrations of these bioactive compounds in apples. It also studied the effect of ozone treatment, before or during storage,...

nowadays, plants have been considered as powerful agents for treatment of disorders regarding to their traditional use. in iranian traditional medicine (itm), plants have a special role in the treatment of various diseases. burns with their devastating outcomes have been discussed in itm as well. in the present study, a polyherbal ointment (pho), retrieved from itm, was formulated for burn heal...

BACKGROUND Over exploitation of many traditional medicinal plants like Myrica esculenta has become a threat and in the near future, many medicinal plants may be unavailable for use of industry. OBJECTIVE Present study outlines the concept of plant part substitution. Stem bark and small branches of M. esculenta are compared on the basis of physicochemical analysis, phytochemical analysis, tota...

Ursolic acid is a triterpenoid compound in the plant kingdom and has important biological functions. In this study, ursolic contents of nine herbs including Anethum graveolens (dill), Camellia sinensis L. (green tea), Lepidium sativum (garden cress), Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil), Petroselinum crispum (parsley), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Salvia (sage), Thymus vulgaris (thyme) Urtica d...

An HPTLC method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of stevioside (STE) and rebaudioside-A (REB-A) in Stevia rebaudiana leaves. The HPTLC separation was performed on precoated silica gel 60F254 HPTLC plates with the mobile phase ethyl acetate-ethanol-acetone-water (15 + 3 + 6 + 6, v/v/v/v). The densitometric quantification of steviol glycosides was carried out at Amax 580...

Our previous results elucidated that the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica possessed the potential to suppress ovariectomy-induced bone mineral density deterioration, and ursolic acid, the major bioactive component in these leaves, suppressed the osteoclast differentiation. The aim of this study was to discover more candidates for development of novel antiosteoclastogenesis agents from the leaves o...
