eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a complicated condition accompanied with high incidence of infection and dyslipidemia. This study aimed to explore the phyto-constituents of Crataegus azarolus var. eu- azarolus Maire leaves, and to evaluate the therapeutic potentials particularly antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic of the extract and the isolated compound (3β-O-acetyl ursolic aci...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The taxonomic complexity of Crataegus (hawthorn; Rosaceae, Maleae), especially in North America, has been attributed by some to hybridization in combination with gametophytic apomixis and polyploidization, whereas others have considered the roles of hybridization and apomixis to be minimal. Study of the chemical composition and therapeutic value of hawthorn extracts requires...
