objective(s):ethnopharmacological field surveys demonstrated that many plants, such as gentiana olivieri, helichrysum graveolens, helichrysum plicatum ssp. plicatum, juniperus oxycedrus ssp. oxycedrus, juniperus  communis var. saxatilis, viscum album (ssp. album, ssp. austriacum), are used as traditional medicine for diabetes in different regions of anatolia. the present study was designed to e...

The effect of combinations of the crude methanolic extract of the leaves of Helichrysum pedunculatum and eight first-line antibiotics were investigated by time kill assays against a panel of bacterial strains that have been implicated in wound infections. The plant extract showed appreciable antibacterial activities against the test bacteria with zones of inhibition ranging between 18 and 27 mm...

In the present study, lectotypes for 12 names viz. Anaphalis beddomei Hook.f., bournei Fyson, elliptica DC., oblonga var. lawii meeboldii W.W.Sm., travancorica Gnaphalium marcescens Wight, neelgherryanum subdecurrens wightianum DC. and Helichrysum leptophyllum are designated. Detailed notes images of type specimens provided.

We evaluated the in vitro antioxidant property and phytochemical constituents of the aqueous crude leaf extract of Helichrysum pedunculatum. The scavenging activity on superoxide anions, DPPH, H₂O₂, NO and ABTS; and the reducing power were determined, as well as the flavonoid, proanthocyanidin and phenolic contents of the extract. The extract exhibited scavenging activity towards all radicals t...
