Isolation and identification of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants, has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant species for anti-tumor effects. It has been reported that several conifer posses cytotoxic activities on some human tumor cell lines. In this study, male and female branchlets or fruit of four different species of Iranian conifers (Juniperus Sabina...

brown alga, turbinaria conoides was successively extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol:water (1:1). the extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities by disc diffusion method. minimal inhibitory concentration was determined for active extracts by broth dilution method. the antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts were tested in human embryon...

isolation of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant for their anti-tumor effects. it has been reported that several species of conifers posses’ cytotoxic activities on some tumor cell lines. here branchlets and berries of juniperus foetidissima and j. sabina were collected, dried and ethanol extracts of them obtained u...

a series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-7-(dimethylamino)-4 h -chromenes was synthesized by condensation of 3-(dimethylamino)phenol, an aromatic aldehyde and malonitrile in ethanol containing piperidine. the assignments of the structure of all synthesized compounds were based on spectral data (ir, mass and 1 h nmr). the cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds against six human tumor cell l...
