A chemical investigation of methanol extract from the roots of Dracocephalum taliense led to the isolation of a new aromatic abietane diterpenoid, 12-methoxy-18-hydroxy-sugiol (1), and one highly-oxygenated ursane triterpenoid, 2α,3α-dihydroxy-11α,12α-epoxy-urs-28,13β-olide (2), together with 15 known natural products (3-17). Among these, compounds 1-13 and 15-17 were detected for the first tim...

Dracocephalum palmatum Stephan (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant used by the North-Yakutian nomads. From the crude ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of this plant, 23 compounds (phenylpropanoids, coumarins, flavonoids, and triterpenes) were isolated. Among these, eight compounds (salvianolic acid B, caftaric acid, cichoric acid, umbelliferone, aesculetin, apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside...

Investigation of Some Physiological Traits in Dracocephalum Moldavica L. Ecotypes under Salt Stress Condition

From an EtOAc extract of Dracocephalum subcapitatum, five flavonoids, calycopterin, xanthomicrol, isokaempferide, luteolin and apigenin, together with five terpenoids, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, geranial, neral and limonene-10-al, were isolated. Among them, citral and limonene-10-al were the most effective components against epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasitic agent of Chagas d...

The title compound, C(30)H(48)O(3), was extracted from the plant Dracocephalum rupestre Hance. The mol-ecule contains five fused cyclo-hexane rings and one five-membered lactone ring. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups link the mol-ecules into chains along [010]. The absolute structure has not been determined.

Tincture of the dry herb has been used for ages in Uyghur folk medicine to treat heart disease, blood pressure, angina, tracheitis, atherosclerosis, neuralgia, migraine, and headache and toothache. 3 Since the 1970s, 246 compounds, including terpenoids,steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, lignans, phenols, coumarins, and cyanogenicglucosides, have been identified from the genus Dracocephalum, and t...

Feline calicivirus is one of the surrogate viruses human norovirus. This study aimed to identify virucidal compounds, chemical constituents plants from genus Dracocephalum, which are rich in flavonoids and phenylpropanoid oligomers. Four undescribed including a flavanone glucoside, two stilbenoid glycosides, amide glycoside, as well 17 known were isolated Mongolian Dracocephalum fruticulosum St...

Background: Liver cancer is the second outstanding reason for cancer-related death global and thus a main public health challenge. Plant-based drugs are regarded as promising therapies. Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi extracts have shown therapeutic impacts on various cancers. Therefore, we assessed the effects of the extract of Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi on cell proliferation and BCL2 e...
