Phytochemical and biological screening of root of Asparagus racemosus was studied. The brine shrimp bioassay of its various extracts showed that the methanol (MeOH) extract was biologically active. The column chromatography of hexane, acetone and methanol extracts resulted in the isolation of 9hexadecanoic acid-9-octadecenylester (Z,Z), β-Sitosterol, stigmasterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and dio...

Antifungal constituents, 2-isopropenyl-4-methyl-1-oxa-cyclopenta[b]anthracene-5,10-dione and (+)-4-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methylbut-3'-enyloxy)-8H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-h]chromen-8-one in addition to known compounds imperatorin, beta-sitosterol, plumbagin, 1-methyl-2-(3'-methyl-but-2'-enyloxy)-anthraquinone, beta-sitosterol glucoside, stigmasterol, vanillin and salicin were isolated during phytochemical inv...

The ethanol extract of the root bark of Terminalia sericea yielded an unreported stilbene glycoside, 3'5'-dihydroxy-4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy) resveratrol-3-O-beta-rutinoside (1) together with known compounds resveratrol-3-beta-rutinoside glycoside (2), 3',4,5'-Trihydroxystilbene (resveratrol) (3), triterpenoic acid arjungenin and a mixture of beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. Structure determination...

In the present study, Radix Codonopsis was extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction. As Ointment collecting rate and the yield of stigmasterol are index, Various reaction parameters were changed to attain the optimal conditions. The appropriate process conditions are size 40 60Mesh, 30 Mpa pressure, temperature 65 °C, 120 min, entrainer Alcohol dynamic extraction (entrainer pump flow rate of 1...

the composition of essential oil of leaves of the male and female shrubs of juniperus chinensis l. (growing in isfahan) was analyzed by gas choromatography(gc) and gc-mass spectrometery (ms). the main constituents of leaf oil of the male shrub were: bornyl acetate (26.1%), sabinene (18.3%), trans-sabinyl acetate (11.1%), myrcene (9.2%), limonene (6.1%), elemol (5.5%), α-cadinol (2.3%), δ-cadine...

background: brillantaisia lamium is an erect branched herb, which grows to a height of 1.50 m in moist tropical areas, both in full sun and partial shade. in cameroon, the aerial part of this plant is used in the treatment of various microbial infections such as skin diseases and infections of urinary tract. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of ch2cl2: meoh (1:1...
