A series of novel 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one esters were synthesized under mild conditions by the reaction of 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one and carboxylic acids with DCC and DMAP as the promoters. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, IR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassy results indicated that some of compounds exhibit good herbici...

This paper evaluated the frequency, magnitude and dose/concentration range of hormesis in four species: The aquatic plant Lemna minor, the micro-alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and the two terrestrial plants Tripleurospermum inodorum and Stellaria media exposed to nine herbicides and one fungicide and binary mixtures thereof. In total 687 dose-response curves were included in the database....

Aim: Stellaria media Linn. (Caryophyllaceae) has been traditionally used for a variety of ailments such as inflammation, asthma, blood diseases and in the treatment of mental tension. In the present investigation, various pharmacognostic standards of the plant have been generated so that authentic S. media could be explored for its traditional claims. Materials and Methods: Various parameters l...

Currently, the interest in synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has increased a lot because these systems are suitable to be used distinct fields such as medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental protection, etc. Their can done using different agents bacteria, fungi, and yeasts or plant extracts fresh plants. This paper aims synthesize silver (AgNPs) selenium (SeNPs) Stellaria media (...

The tribe Alsineae is a large monophyletic group in the family Caryophyllaceae especially found across Eurasia and Americas, but with center of diversity Mediterranean region. Several previous molecular phylogenetic studies have focused on delimitation genera tribes Caryophyllaceae, subfamily Alsinoideae or broader sense than now recognized. However, there are still many open questions regardin...
