The present research was planned to characterize the aroma composition of important members of the Lamiaceae family such as Salvia officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia and Mentha asiatica. Aroma components of the S. officinalis, L. angustifolia and M. asiatica were extracted with the purge and trap technique with dichloromethane and analyzed with the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) ...

Two species belonging to the genus Salvia (Salvia brachyodon Vandas and Salvia officinalis L.) from Dalmatian region were studied for their essential oil composition, genome size and base composition. These species showed the same chromosome number (2n 1⁄4 14), similar genome size (0.95 and 0.97 pg/2C) and base composition (38.52 and 38.55 GC%), respectively. This is the first estimation of DNA...

Resistance of many pathogens to available drugs is a global challenge and is leading to growing interest in natural alternative products. In this study, chemical composition and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of the essential oil from Salvia mirzayanii were investigated. The chemical constituents of essential oil from S mirzayanii were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spect...

background pycnocycla spinosa decne. ex boiss is an aromatic plant which showed relaxant effects on isolated ileum contractions and antidiarrheal activity. thirty four components have been extracted from p. spinosa essential oil, of which several major constituents were found to show seasonal variation. objectives the aim of this work is to evaluate the diurnal variation of its oil constituents...

hydroalcoholic extract of pycnocycla spinosa has spasmolytic effect in vitro and antidiarrhoeal action in vivo . the aim of this research was to separate fractions of total hydroalcoholic extract of p. spinosa guided by their spasmolytic activity. aerial parts of p. spinosa were extracted with ethanol. the concentrated extract was subjected to column chromatography and thin layer chromatography...

materials and methods statistical and regressive modeling methods were used to investigate the effects of the carbon source and to optimize the production media. results the spinosad production of s. spinosa co121 increased 77.13%, from 310.44 ± 21.84 μg/ml in the initial fermentation medium (with glucose as the main carbon source) to 549.89 ± 38.59 μg/ml in a new optimized fermentation medium ...

INTRODUCTION Herbs are rich sources of natural antioxidants, and are used in traditional medicine for the control and treatment of many diseases. The reducing effect of a large number of these plants on blood glucose has been approved in animal models and clinical studies. OBJECTIVES This study was therefore, performed to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Salvia officinalis on blood gluc...

this study aimed to investigate morphological changes of capparis deciduas and c. spinosa and their effects on nebkha formation. in order to examine the morphological changes of these plants, nine c. spinosa nebkhas of varying ages were randomly selected and size and number of adventitious roots, number of shoot and buds were counted. results showed that the dead and green parts of c. spinosa i...

Pradimicin S was isolated from the culture filtrate of Actinomadura spinosa AA0851. NMR and MS analyses proved that pradimicin S is the 3'-O-(3''-O-sulfo-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) analog of pradimicin A, a new member of the pradimicin family of antibiotics. Stereochemical assignment was made by correlating pradimicin S with pradimicin L.
