In order to respond to the basic requirements of food and pharmaceutical industries, to reduce or eliminate organic solvent residues in the final products, several extraction techniques were tested from the standpoint of performance, with low energy consumption. The aim of this study was to determine biological activities such as antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of flavonolignans fr...

Background and objectives: Silymarin is a unique flavonoid complex with documented hepatoprotective properties. Silybum marianum hairy root culture as a source for producing silymarin has been an important strategy for study the cell signaling pathway. In the present investigation Trichoderma strainsSilybum marianum hairy root cultures interactions have been studied. Methods: The effects of two...

elicitation with middle-viscous chitosan (30 mg/50 ml) significantly stimulated silymarin synthesis in silybum marianum hairy root cultures. the root cultures established by infection with agrobacterium rhizogenes ar15834 showed a potential for production of silymarin. elicitation with medium molecular weight of chitosan (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/50 ml) was used in order to improve silymarin pro...
