The composition of the essential root oil of Peucedanum lancifolium Lange (A piaceae), grow­ ing in the Atlantic coast regions o f France, North-W est Spain und Portugal was investigated by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Forty five terpenoids, many of them of already known structure, and several aliphatic esters have been identified. Besides the main constituent, the irregular sesqu...

We isolated and examined a new Alternaria sp., which causes leaf spots on Peucedanum japonicum in Korea, by using molecular and morphological methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combined internal transcribed spacer region analysis and two protein-coding genes (gpd and Alt a1) demonstrated that the causal fungus was most closely related to A. cinerariae and A. sonchi, and relevant to A. br...

background: the aim of this study was to determine phenolic acid composi­tion and anti-parasitic effects of peucedanum caucasicum, p. palimbioides, p. longibracteola­tum and p. chryseum on entamoeba histolytica . methods: methanol extracts of the plant species were prepared by soxhlet extrac­tion. phenolic acid compositions were determined by hplc. anti-prolifera­tive effect of extracts on trop...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to examine the cytotoxicity and evaluate the antiviral and virucidal activity of methanol and methanol/H(2)O extracts from the herb of Peucedanum salinum. Plants belonging to the genus Peucedanum (Apiaceae family) have been used in traditional medicine for a long time. MATERIAL AND METHODS The examination of the cytotoxicity of the extracts in the concent...

The traditional Chinese medicine, Qianhu, which consists of the roots of Peucedanum praeruptorum DUNN. and P. decursivum MAXIM. (Umbelliferae), is used for treatment of respiratory disease and pulmonary hypertension. In the course of our search for the active ingredients of Qianhu, we have reported the structures and biological activities of coumarins isolated from both plants. We isolated the ...

Widespread worldwide Peucedanum plants (Apiaceae) have been used for centuries as plant medicines. The polymorphism of this genus is consistent with chemotaxonomically and therapeutically significant differences in the composition secondary metabolites. GC-MS tauricum M.B. volatiles from headspace (HS) hydrodistilled essential oil (HD), both obtained simultaneously flowers (FL), immature ripe f...

INTRODUCTION Dyslipidemia is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus, significantly contributing to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Peucedanum pastinacifolium Boiss. & Hausskn. is commonly used as an antihyperlipidemic vegetable in Iranian folk medicine. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we examined a hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial parts ...

The main British population of Gortyna borelii occurs on the north Essex coast, on sites very close to sea level. During 1999, 2000 and 2001, ovipositing strategies of G. borelii were studied providing details of egg laying behaviour, preferred oviposition host plants, height of ova deposition and distance of the oviposition site from the nearest larval food plant (Peucedanum officinale). Six o...
