Ekinase flowers are processed into new innovations nutraceutical products with Ekino Ice product label. Goal to innovate made dry immunomodulators era of This research uses laboratory experimental methods qu...

The investigation of ultradiluted (homeopathic) drugs is extremely interesting and challenging, and from that point of view this study shows novelty. A study of in vivo changes in heart rate of the Indian Bufo melanostictus caused by commercially available serially ultra-diluted and agitated extract of Digitalis purpurea has been tried in order to understand their pharmacological role. RR inter...

Background Echinacea purpurea, a purple coneflower plant of the compositae family (Asteraceae), is native to North America and commonly used as an herbal supplement to enhance immune function. Echinacea purpurea has been shown to stimulate macrophage activity which is a known stimulator of nitric oxide (NO) production. Echinacea purpurea supplementation (8,000 mg·d) in untrained (42.5 ± 1.6 mL·...

On the basis of its close phylogenetic relationship to Lamprocystis roseopersicina, the phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium originally described as Amoebobacter purpureus and recently transferred to Pfennigia purpurea is reclassified as Lamprocystis purpurea comb. nov. In addition, an emended description of the genus Lamprocystis is given.

Evidence supports the theory that bacterial communities colonizing Echinacea purpurea contribute to the innate immune enhancing activity of this botanical. Previously, we reported that only about half of the variation in in vitro monocyte stimulating activity exhibited by E. purpurea extracts could be accounted for by total bacterial load within the plant material. In the current study, we test...

Claviceps purpurea is an important food contaminant and well known for the production of the toxic ergot alkaloids. Apart from that, little is known about its secondary metabolism and not all toxic substances going along with the food contamination with Claviceps are known yet. We explored the metabolite profile of a gene cluster in C. purpurea with a high homology to gene clusters, which are r...

Echinacea is an herbaceous perennial of Asteraceae family that grows throughout the eastern and central United States and southern Canada. Three species of Echinacea are valued as medicinal herb: E. purpurea (L.) Moench, E. pallida (Nutt.) Nutt., and E. angustifolia DC (Mistríková & Vaverková, 2007). All three species show pharmacological activity, which appears to result from the combined effe...

Bauhinia purpurea is a flowering plant. General phytochemical screening of the aerial parts of Bauhinia purpurea revealed the presence of steroids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, saponins, fatty acids, alkaloids. The aim of this study is to identify and characterize the bioactive principle from the aerial parts of the plant. It has wide folk medicinal use. For isolation of the compound, the drie...

Estimating the potential of species to cope with rapid environmental climatic modifications is of vital importance for determining their future viability and conservation. The variation between existing populations along a climatic gradient may predict how a species will respond to future climate change. Stipa purpurea is a dominant grass species in the alpine steppe and meadow of the Qinghai-T...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed using Illumina sequencing for further genetic diversity studies of Stipa purpurea (Poaceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-nine polymorphic and eight monomorphic EST-SSR loci were developed and characterized in 90 individuals from nine S. purpurea populations. The number of alleles per locus range...
