The aim of the present study was to determine cytotoxic activity of crude methanolicextract of Echinophora platyloba on breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line. The free radicalscavenging effects of methanolic extract of E. platyloba were tested using DPPH method.Crude methanolic extract exhibited potential antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 234.28 ±21.63 μg/mL when compared to the standard ...

The hydrodistilled oil of the aerial parts of Echiophora platyloba DC. was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Ten components have been identified, of which the major constituents were found to be trans-b -ocimene (67.9%), 2-furanone (6.2%), myrcene (6.0%), linalool (3.1%), and cis-b -ocimene (2.3%).

Background: Echinophora platyloba DC (Apiaceae) is one of the two endemic species of Echinophora genus in Iran. It has many folkloric uses and several biological activities but there is no information about its phytoconstituents. Objective: In this work some of the secondary metabolites were isolated, purified and identified from n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from the aerial pa...

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum cv. ‘Mriachii Blue’) is one of the most important and marketable cut flowers in the world. However, a relatively limited vase life reduces its marketability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of essential oils in extending vase life of cut flowers of Lisianthus. For this purpose a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized desig...

Nowadays, the application of natural antimicrobials like plant extracts in food preservation isbecoming popular and increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Echinophora platyloba (E.platyloba) aqueous extract on gas-producing fungi and sensory properties of doogh. For this reason, theconcentration of 0% (Control), 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 8% of the extract were...
