background: the aim of this study was to examine the renoprotective effect of hydro alcoholic sage (salvia officinalis: so) leaves extract against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. methods: in this experimental study forty male sprague dawley rats weighing 200-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups; (1) the rats without treatment (control), (2) intraperitoneally injected with normal...

two flavones, ladanein and 6-hydroxy-5,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone and one labdane-typediterpene, ent-13-epi-manoyloxide, were isolated from an ethyl acetate-methanol extract ofthe aerial parts of salvia sharifii. the compounds were purified using several chromatographicmethods. structural elucidation of the compounds was performed using their 1h and 13c-nmrdata, ei mass and uv spectral data. the co...

BACKGROUND Pterostilbene, a methoxylated analog of Resveratrol, is gradually gaining more importance as a therapeutic drug owing to its higher lipophilicity, bioavailability and biological activity than Resveratrol. This study was undertaken to characterize its ability to scavenge free radicals such as superoxide, hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide and to protect bio-molecules within a cell against...

Salvia genus, which is generally called Maryam-Goli in the Persian language, belongs to Lamiaceae family and comprises 58 species in Iran. Four flavonoids plus a steroid compound were isolated from the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the aerial parts of Salvia macrosiphon Boiss, using different chromatographic methods on the silica gel and sephadex LH20. The structures of the isolated co...

GC-MS analysis identified forty seven and fourteen components in oils extracted using HD and in the volatile fractions extracted using HSE, respectively. eudesm-7(11) en-4-ol (28.46%), α-terpinyl acetate (12%), germacrene D-4-ol(7.3%), 1,8-cineole (6.22%), δ-cadinene (6.49%), bicyclogermacrene (5.20%) and α-cadinol (5.06%) were recorded as the main components of the essential oil and The major ...

Plants of the genus Piper have long been used as medicinal herbs. The chemistry species has widely investigated and phytochemical investigations conducted in all parts world led to isolation a number physiologically active compounds. Thus, this study was carried out investigate phytochemicals from abbreviatum their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, which not previously investigated. Fra...

In an attempt to identify herbal drugs which may become useful in the prevention of diabetes, antioxidant potentials and α-amylase inhibition by the ethanol extracts of two plants belonging to Lamiaceae family, Otostegia persica and Zataria multiflora, and their different fractions were studied. Also, inhibition of α-amylase by Salvia mirzayanii and its fractions was evaluated. All of the sampl...
