AIMS To assess the safety and performance of the Nobori drug-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer versus the TAXUS drug-eluting stent with permanent polymer, in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS NOBORI 1 was a multicentre, randomised (2:1), prospective, controlled, clinical trial which enrolled 363 patients (238 Nobori and 125 TAXUS) with ...

common yew taxus baccata l. is an evergreen, slow growing   tree, indigenous of hyrcanian forests in iran. discovery of paclitaxel as an   anti tumor agent in the bark of taxus has increased importance of this   plant for treatment of breast and ovary cancer, especially 7000 women die annually   due to breast cancer in iran. regarding destructive method of paclitaxel   production and protection...

Taxus baccata (L) known as Sthauneyaka in Sanskrit(1) has wide range of biological activities including analgesic, anti-malarial, anti-rheumatic, sedative, anti-spasmodic, aphrodisiac and anti-asthmatic. In the present study, the dried and powdered bark of Taxus baccata (L) was extracted with 95% ethanol and ether at room temperature and screened for their anti--inflammatory activity by Carrage...

BACKGROUND Illumina second generation sequencing is now an efficient route for generating enormous sequence collections that represent expressed genes and quantitate expression level. Taxus is a world-wide endangered gymnosperm genus and forms an important anti-cancer medicinal resource, but the large and complex genomes of Taxus have hindered the development of genomic resources. The research ...

In Germany, four different drug eluting stents (DES) systems are currently commercially available. Whereas sirolimus has been clinically tested in only a single type of stent with a single type of coating in only a single dose, paclitaxel has been tested on various stent designs, in various dose densities, and in various release formulations with or without a polymer carrier. Therefore, the que...

The title compound, C(10)H(14)O(2), was isolated from the chloro-form extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100). There are weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between the sheets.

Taxol (paclitaxel) a diterpenoid is one of the most effective anticancer drugs identified. Biosynthesis of taxol was considered restricted to the Taxus genera until Stierle et al. discovered that an endophytic fungus isolated from Taxus brevifolia could independently synthesize taxol. Little is known about the mechanism of taxol biosynthesis in microbes, but it has been speculated that its bios...

  Background: There are eight Taxus species and two hybrids in the world and Taxus baccata L. (European yew) is the single representative in Iran. Until now, a large number of taxoids possessing different skeleton systems, as well as lignans, flavonoids, steroids and sugar derivatives have been isolated from various Taxus species. Taxoids are highly oxygenated diterpenes isolated from different...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed in the endangered tree species Taxus wallichiana from Nepal to investigate regional genetic differentiation, local genetic diversity, and gene flow for the conservation of this species under climate- and land-use change scenarios in mountain regions of Nepal. • METHODS AND RESULTS We developed 10 highly polymorphic micro...
