The larval food plant of the Apochima diaphanaria ssp. rjabovi (Wehrli, 1936) in Geometridae family has not been known until now. In this study, medicinal plants Ferula haussknechtii H. Wolff ex Rech.f., Prangos uloptera DC. (Apiaceae) and Rheum ribes L. (Polygonaceae) species are identified for first time as rjabovi. addition, Drino imberbis (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Tachinidae) is recorded ...

The aim of the study is to evaluate ethanol extract Rheum ribes root (RTE), as well and young shoots (RYSE), for its chemical composition, antioxidant properties cytotoxic effects. Total polyphenols (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric reducing power (FRAP) extracts were determined using colorimetric methods. Mineral contents vitamin values samples by ICP-MS ...

The present study was carried out to assess the photosensitizing potential of embelin, the biologically active natural product isolated from Embelia ribes in photodynamic therapy (PDT) experiments in vivo. In vitro PDT clearly indicated that embelin recorded significant cytotoxicity in Ehrlich's Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells, which is superior to 5-aminolevulinic acid, a known photodynamic comp...

Various species of berries have been reported to contain several polyphenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins and flavonols, which are known to possess high antioxidant activity and may be beneficial for human health. To our knowledge, a thorough chemical analysis of polyphenolics in species of these plants native to Newfoundland, Canada has not been conducted. The primary objective of this stu...

Berries are a rich source of various polyphenols, including the flavonoid quercetin. In this article, the results of three intervention studies investigating the bioavailability of quercetin from berries are reviewed. In the first study, we investigated the short-term kinetics of quercetin after consumption of black currant juice and showed that quercetin is rapidly absorbed from it. In the sec...
