the experiment was aimed to study the chemical constituents of essential oils from two pimpinella l. species including p. deverroides - boiss, and p. tragium vill. growing wild in iran. to do this, the essential oil of fruits of two p. tragium populations (sefidkhani and hesar, markazi province, iran) and one population of p. deverroides (kerend, kermanshah province) were extracted by a cleveng...

the present study was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of pimpinella tirupatiensis (pt) by assaying the activities of selective mitochondrial enzymes in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. diabetic rats showed a significant (p < 0.01) reduction in the activities of oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), malate dehydrogenase (mdh), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) and isocitr...

Unorganized callus and leaf/root-differentiating callus cultures of Pimpinella major have been established in liquid nutrient medium. Their capacity to accumulate rare phenylpropa­ noids such as epoxy-pseudoisoeugenol tiglate, epoxy-anol tiglate and anol tiglate was com­ pared with that of seedlings and whole plants. The unorganized callus cultures were not able to accumulate any phenylpropanoi...

Five new quinic acid derivatives (1-5), together with 10 known quinic acid derivatives (6-15), were isolated from the MeOH extract of Pimpinella brachycarpa (Umbelliferae). Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including extensive 2D NMR studies (COSY, HMQC and HMBC). Isolated compounds 1-15 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities on nitric oxide (NO) p...

The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of eight species the genus Allium distributed in Turkey were analyzed. These taxa are A. armerioides Boiss., orientale stamineum tuncelianum (Kollmann) Özhatay, B.Mathew & Şiraneci, subakaka Razyfard Zarre, muratozelii Armağan, dumanii Koyuncu Koçyiğit colchicifolium Boiss. Four them (A. armerioides, tuncelianum, dumanii) endemic Turkey. all studied determi...

A new combination in the rank of subspecies, Campanula tridentata Schreb. subsp. ruprechtii (Boiss.) Ogan., distributed Armenia, Nakhchivan Republic and Iran is published. The lectotype name designated.

Genetic algorithm and partial least square (GA-PLS) and kernel PLS (GA-KPLS) techniques were used to investigate the correlation between retention indices (RI) and descriptors for 117 diverse compounds in essential oils from 5 Pimpinella species gathered from central Turkey which were obtained by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The square correlation coefficient lea...
