Two new labdane-type diterpenoids vitetrifolin H (1) and vitetrifolin I (2), and one new monoterpenoid vitexoid (3), were isolated from the fruits of Vitex trifolia L., together with seven known diterpenoids. Structures of all compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods. All these compounds exhibited inhibition of Hela cell proliferation, with IC50 values in the range of 4-28 m...

The use of Vitex negundo Linn. (Family: verbenaceae) is well documented in ayurveda and traditional Indian system of medicine for variety of diseases and liver ailments. The aim of the study was to investigate liver protective efficacy of a standardized bioactive fraction (SF) from Vitex negundo Linn. against acetaminophen (APAP) and galactosamine (GalN) hepatotoxicity. SF was tested at doses 1...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the combination of vitex agnus castus extract, as a source of phytoestrogens, plus magnesium supplementation on osteogenic and angiogenic factors and callus formation in women with long bone fracture. material and methods: in a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial, 64 women with long bone fracture,20-45 years ol...

The adhesion of water droplets to leaves is important in controlling rainfall interception, and affects a variety of hydrological processes. Leaf water drop adhesion (hereinafter, adhesion) depends not only on droplet formulation and parameters but also on the physical (leaf roughness) and physico-chemical (surface free energy, its components, and work-of-adhesion) properties of the leaf surfac...

A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection method was developed for the identification and quantification of p-hydroxy benzoic acid and agnuside in the extracts of Vitex negundo and Vitex trifolia. The separation was achieved using acetonitrile and O-phosphoric acid-water (0.5%, v/v) as the mobile phase in an isocratic elution mode. Mean retention times of ...

relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $m$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $m$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $m$ whenever $tau$ is the goldie torsion theory. it is shown that the $tau$-rank of $m$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $m$. moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $m$ and c...
