introduction: considering the prevalence of epilepsy and the failure of available treatments for many epileptic patients, finding more effective drugs in the treatment of epilepsy seems necessary. oxidative stress has a special role in the pathogenesis of epileptic syndrome. therefore, in the present study, we have examined the anti-epileptic and anti-oxidant properties of the ferula assa foeti...

Problem statement: A many number of people in this world are suffering from urinary stone problem in different age groups. Nephrolilthiasis is the term given to a metabolic conditions in which the signs and symptoms results from the deposition of crystals of Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate(COM) in various connective tissues. Approach: It was quite very difficult to grow good quality of large COM cr...

Stem bark of Acacia nilotica, Delbergia sissoo, Delonix regia, Polyalthia longifolia, Prosopis cineraria, and Zyziphus mauritiana, and leaves of Catharanthus roseus, Mentha arvensis, Murraya koinigii, Ocimum basilicum, Tabernaemontana divaricata, Tinospora cordifolia and Tribulus terrestris were analyzed for their total phenolic and flavonois content as well as antioxidant activity. Stem bark o...

Menopausal symptoms experienced by women vary widely, and while many women transition through menopause with manageable symptoms, others experience severe symptoms, which may impair their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Tribulus terrestris, ginger, saffron, and Cinnamomum on menopausal symptoms. A randomised, triple-blind, controlled trial design was us...

AIMS This study was carried out to assess the protective and anti-oxidant activities of the methanolic extract of Tribulus terrestris fruits (METT) against sodium valproate (SVP)-induced testicular toxicity in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty mature male rats were randomly divided into five equal groups (n = 10). Group 1 was used normal (negative) control, and the other four groups were into...

Tribulus terrestris herb has been used as a drug in traditional medicine and its toxic effects have also been reported. Less attention has been paid to the interpretation of pathological and laboratory findings in the natural form poisoning with this plant in animals. Following a report of mortalities in a sheep farm feeding on a pasture containing Tribulus terrestris herb and involvement of 50...

Two new steroidal saponins and two known flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the fruits of Tribulus terrestris. Their structures were assigned by spectroscopic analysis and chemical reaction as 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(25R)-5 alpha-furostan-12-one-3beta,22 alpha,26-triol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1 --> 4)-beta-D-galactopyranoside (1), 26-O-beta-D-glucopyra...

Recent investigations have shown that plants have antioxidant properties and could decrease oxidative stress in different human diseases. The present work was identified the chemical composition compounds and evaluated the various antoxidative activities of Ferula-assa-foetida leaves hydroalcoholic extract (FLHE) and Ferula-assa-foetida leaves essential oil ...

From the dichloromethane extract of aerial parts of Ferula vesceritensis (Apiaceae), 11 sesquiterpene derivatives were isolated. Among them five were compounds designated as 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-anisate, 2,10-diacetyl-8-hydroxyferutriol-6-anisate, 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-benzoate, vesceritenone and epoxy-vesceritenol. The six known compounds were identified as feselol, farnesiferol A, lapido...
