The title compound, C(10)H(14)O(2), was isolated from the chloro-form extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100). There are weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between the sheets.

Isolation of a number of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants such as acetylcholinesterase inhibiting steroidal alkaloids, homomoenjodaramine and moenjodaramine from Buxus hyrcana, anti-epileptic terpenoids delphadienones I and II from Delphinium denudatum, and potent leishmanicidal compound ajoene from Allium sativum have been achieved through bioactivity-guided isolation.

Salak palms (Salacca spp.) are important fruit species in Southeast Asia, but the morphogenesis of their reproductive organs is unknown. To observe female gametogenesis, pistil S. wallichiana and subsequent fertilization were observed. The ovary contained three ovule primordia months before flowering (BF). one mono-nucleate megaspore at center degenerated megaspores on chalazal side two BF, a e...

Plants are an invaluable source of potential new anti-cancer drugs. Here, we investigated the cytotoxic activity of the acetonic extract of Buxus sempervirens on five breast cancer cell lines, MCF7, MCF10CA1a and T47D, three aggressive triple positive breast cancer cell lines, and BT-20 and MDA-MB-435, which are triple negative breast cancer cell lines. As a control, MCF10A, a spontaneously imm...

in this research,for taxonomic studies and identification of the fungi associated with the powdery mildew(oidium euonymi- japonici) of buxus trees (euonymus japonica), the infected leaves were collected during autumn and winter 2012-2013 in gorgan (golestan province -iran). the samples after washing and surface sterilizing, were cultured on pda medium(with boxwood extract).then based on availab...
