Background and objectives: The rhizomes of Eremostachys azerbaijanica Rech. f.,as an indigenous plant in East Azerbaijan province of Iran, were studied for isolation and identification of possible phytoconstituents. Methods: The air- dried and ground rhizomes were extracted with n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) using a Soxhlet appara...

In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil and methanol (MeOH) extract of aerials of E. azerbaijanica were identified. Furthermore, the free radical scavenging properties of the volatile oil as well as the MeOH extract of the plant were assessed. The essential oil of the air-dried aerial parts was obtained by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The oil ...

in the present study the volatile organic compounds of e. azerbaijanica rech.f. were identified. phytochemical assessment of meoh extract of aerial parts of this plant was also performed and its free radical scavenging properties was evaluated. the essential oil of the air-dried aerial parts was obtained by hydro-distillation using a clevenger type apparatus. the oil was then analyzed by gas ch...

Eremostachys pulvinaris (family: Labiatae), one of the 60 species of the genus Eremostachys, occurs mainly in central Asian countries, e.g. Iran, Armenia, Ashgabad and the USSR. The rhizomes of this plant were collected from Tabriz in Azarbaijan province during September-October 2003. There is no report on any previous phytochemical investigation on E. pulvinaris available todate, phytochemical...

background and objectives: the aerial part extracts of eremostachys macrophylla  from labiatae family, which has been traditionally used in wound healing, snake bites, rheumatism and joint pains, were investigated for general toxicity, anti-proliferative, free radical scavenging and anti-bacterial effects.moreover, preliminary phytochemical investigations were carried out on the extracts. metho...
