From the underground parts of Thalictrum orientale Boiss., a new phenolic compound 1 was isolated in addition to one known cyanoglycoside, lithospermoside (2). For the structure elucidation of all compounds, 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques (DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HSQC) and MS (HR-MALDI) were used. The structure of the new compound was established as 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-nitroethane-4'-O-[beta-xylopyranosy...

Ochradenus aucheri Boiss. (Jesh) belonging to family Resedaceae usually found in sandy areas, hillsides, and mountains. Common southern eastern Iran Pakistan Muscat. Very common throughout mountains at lower elevation on alluvial gravels the northern Emirates. Rapidly colonizes new roadsides, e.g. around Hatta (Western, 1989). Unripe fruits eaten as treatment for digestive problems

Three new diterpene esters with a myrsinol-type skeleton have been isolated from Euphorbia decipiens BOISS. & BUHSE. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was based primarily on two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques including correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) and nuclear Overhauser effect ...

Inula grantioides (Boiss.) syn. /. cutchica Clarke is found in South West Pakistan, Karachi (Sindh), Kutch, Indus delta and Baluchistan. The plant is recommended for the treatment of asthma. This plant has not been subjected to chemical investiga­ tion so far. In the present paper we wish to report the isolation of two new flavones, grantionin 1 and grantioidinin 2 along with pluchidione 3, a k...

A new species Bolanthusturcicus Koç & Hamzaoğlu, sp. nov. was discovered on Hasan Mountain (Turkey, Aksaray province) where it grows on volcanic stony slopes and alpine steppe. its description, images, chorology and ecology, and threat category are provided in this article. It was compared with a closely related species, Bolanthusminuartioides (Jaub. & Spach) Hub.-Mor., Bolanthushuber-morathii ...

Galium shinasii Yıldırım (Rubiaceae), is described as a new species from Malatya Province in eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The new species is morphologically related to Galium cornigerum Boiss. & Hausskn. Galium lasiocarpum and Galium sorgereae Ehrend. and Schönb. but clearly differs from them based on the morphological differences presented in the species description. In addition, the conservation...

From the aerial parts of the plant Phlomis chimerae, a new neolignan glucoside, (-)-4-O-methyldihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) was characterized along with the known neolignan glucosides, (-)-4-O-methyldehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (= longifloroside A) (2) and (-)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3). The stru...

Alcea nudiflora (Lindl.) Boiss. (Malvaceae) has a wide area of growth in Central Asia, the Altai territory and Western Siberia long been used folk traditional medicine. Availability resource long-term application practice makes promising source valuable biologically active natural compounds. The chemical composition A studied after effective microwave assisted extraction (MAE) performed using s...
