The internal transcribed spacer regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA are widely used to infer phylogenetic relationships in plants. In this study, it was obtained the ITS sequences from 24 samples of Araceae in Iran, representing 3 genera: Arum L., Biarum Schott. and Eminium (Blume) Schott. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted by Bayesian inference and maximum Parsimony methods. Cladistic analysis ...

background: resistance to most antimalarial drugs has encouraged the development of novel drugs. an alternative source for discovering such drugs is natural products. some ferulago species are used in folk medicine for their sedative, tonic and anti-parasitic effects. besides, coumarins isolated from this genus found to have in vitro anti-leishmanicidal effect. the present study is aimed to eva...

HIGHLIGHTS Ethanol extract of F. mascrosciadia significantly inhibits collagenase and elastase. syriaca Other studied Ferulago species do not show activity on elastase enzymes.

The antioxidant capability, total phenol, total flavonoid, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid contents, and reducing power contents of polar and non-polar extracts for flower and leaves in two stages of growth for Rhamnus kurdica Boiss in flowering were evaluated in this work. The polar extraction of flower of R. kurdica Boiss had a higher total phenolic content as well as antioxidant activity compare...
