Background & Aim: The genus Tanacetum L. belongs to the family Asteraceae and tribe Anthemideae. According to the recent findings the number of Tanacetum species in Iran is 36, of which 12 are endemic. In this study the essential oil composition of Tanacetum chiliophyllum var. oligocephalum was investigated for the first time.   Experimental: The plant was c...

BACKGROUND Eight medicinal plants were tested for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Different extraction methods were also tested for their effects on the bioactivities of the medicinal plants. METHODS Eight plants, namely Herba Polygonis Hydropiperis (Laliaocao), Folium Murraya Koenigii (Jialiye), Rhizoma Arachis Hypogea (Huashenggen), Herba Houttuyniae (Yuxingcao), Epipremnum ...

from the aerial parts of tanacetum balsamita l. (compositae) a flavonol aglycon was iso­lated using chromatographic techniques. the structure of this compound was determined using spectroscopic methods (uv, h-nmr and ms) as 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxy flavonol (quercetin).

Piperazirum, isolated from Arum palaestinum Boiss, was originally assigned as r-3,c-5-diisobutyl-c-6-isopropylpiperazin-2-one. The reported structure was synthesised diastereoselectively using a key nitro-Mannich reaction to set up the C5/C6 relative stereochemistry. The structure was unambiguously assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction but the spectroscopic data did not match those repor...

Tanacetum isfahanicum Sonboli and Naderifar (Compositae-Anthemideae) is described as a new species from Isfahan Fars provinces of Iran. It belongs morphologically to sect Xanthoglossa differs its the closest relative, T. polycephalum, by shape basal cauline leaves, capitula, length width involucre color achene ribs. The phylogenetic position within genus established based on nrDNA ITS sequences...
