The present work describes the phytochemical study on Ferula lutea flowers. Total phenolics and flavonoids of the n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts were quantified (phenolics [40.68-52.29 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of dry weight], flavonoids [12.38-14.72 mg quercitin/g dry weight]). Two diastereoisomers were isolated and identified using spectroscopic techniques (1D, 2D NMR and GC-MS). The ...

The clinical use of anthracycline Doxorubicin as an antineoplastic drug in cancer therapy is limited by cardiotoxic effects that can lead to congestive heart failure. Recent studies have shown several promising activities different species the genus Ferula belonging Apiaceae Family. communis main source Ferutinin—a bioactive compound isolated from many Ferula—studied both vitro and vivo because...

Two diastereomers of S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide have been isolated from fresh roots of Petiveria alliacea. Their structures and absolute configurations have been determined by NMR, MALDI-HRMS, IR and CD spectroscopy and confirmed by comparison with authentic compounds. Both the R(S) and S(S) diastereomers of the sulfoxide are present in all parts of the plant (root, stem, and leaves) with th...

Abstract The leaf, stem and root decoctions of Petiveria alliacea (referred to as Anamu or Apacin (Guatemala), Guinea–Hen weed (English), Awogba Ojusaju (Yoruba), kanunfari (Hausa) Akwa-ose (Igbo) have been used a diuretic, antispasmodic, sedative, analgesic anti-inflammatory agents in traditional medicine. Cold maceration Soxhlet extraction techniques were obtain oils from the P. . analysed fo...
