In this study, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are used for the characterization of Eobania vermiculata samples extracted from Iskenderun region. The shells land snails discarded as waste, however, they qualified materials with multiple use areas. To substantiate proposition, an attempt was made to elucidate...

Achillea millefolium Linn. (Asteraceae) is used in folk medicine for the treatment of overactive cardiovascular and respiratory ailments. This study describes its hypotensive, cardio-depressant, vasodilatory and bronchodilatory activities. The crude extract of Achillea millefolium (Am.Cr) caused a dose-dependent (1-100 mg/kg) fall in arterial blood pressure of rats under anaesthesia. In spontan...

The aerial parts of A. chrysocoma and A. coarctata afforded 22 and 9 sesquiterpene lactones, respectively. All the compounds described are new for the studied species. The lactones 5, 6 and 12 are new for the genus Achillea.

introduction: this study was carried out to determine elements (li, na, k, mg, ca, ba, b, al, si, v, cr, mn, fe, co, ni, cu, zn, se, ag and p) in the suaeda vermiculata (s. vermiculata) and suaeda aegyptiaca (s. aegyptiaca) in three different regions of southern iran using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (icp-oes) after microwave-assisted acid digestion. materials and m...

Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 187 amplified fragments, of which 1...
