A reference extractive, containing multiple active known compounds, has been considered to be an alternative to individual reference standards. However, in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) the great majority of reference extractives have been primarily used for qualitative identification by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and few studies on the applicability of reference extractives for quantita...

Plant communities dominated by the invasive species Heliotropium curassavicum, Bassia indica and Chenopodium ambrosioides were investigated in fallow land, coastal desert land, newly reclaimed land, canal banks and old reclaimed land in the Nile Delta Mediterranean coast. A total of 19 common species were recorded in this study. They constituted 12 annual and 7 perennial species. The vegetation...

The title compound, C(16)H(14)O(5)·2H(2)O [systematic name: 5-hy-droxy-2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-7-meth-oxy-chroman-4-one dihydrate], is a natural phytoalexin flavone isolated from the native chilean species Heliotropium taltalense and crystallizes with an organic mol-ecule and two water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The 5-hy-droxy group forms a strong intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the c...

This report concerns a case with unusual lesions consisting of massive destruction of myelinated fibres in a thin marginal layer at the surface of the spinal cord, brain-stem, optic nerve and tract, without involvement of the superficial portions of grey matter. The lesions showed a striking similarity to those produced by barbotage (aspiration and reinjection of cerebrospinal fluid) in experim...

Das Bunge-Wand-Weber-Modell wurde in der Literatur bereits angewendet, um Modellierungssprachen wie das Entity-Relationship-Model oder die Unified Modeling Language zu evaluieren. In diesem Beitrag wird aufbauend auf dem Bunge-Wand-Weber-Modell eine Methode zur Evaluierung von Referenzmodellen eingeführt. Zentrales Konzept dieser Methode ist die ontologische Normalisierung eines Referenzmodells...

studies on contents of phenolic compounds and diterpenes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge root during the vegetation period were carried out. In Polish climate and soil condition, the tanshinone II a occurred as the dominant compound from diterpenes group. obtained results show that the most profitable period for harvesting Salvia miltiorrhiza raw material is fructification stage. however, it is ve...

Heliotropium indicum is used traditionally as a remedy for conjunctivitis in Ghana. This study therefore evaluated the antiallergic potential of an aqueous whole plant extract of Heliotropium indicum (HIE) in ovalbumin-induced allergic conjunctivitis and attempted to predict its mode of action. Clinical scores for allergic conjunctivitis induced by intraperitoneal ovalbumin sensitization (100 :...
