the water-distilled essential oil from dried aerial parts of achillea tenuifolia lam. was analysed by gc and cg/ms. 48 components were characterized representing 88% of the total oil. camphor (18%), 1,8-cineole + limonene (9%) and spathulenol (7%) were the major constituents of the oil obtained in a yield of 0.23%.

chromosome counting was performed in nine populations of achillea tenuifolia lam and eight populations of a. bieberestinii afan (asteraceae) collected from hamedan and kermanshah provinces in the west of iran. chromosome numbers in both species varied from 2n=2x=18 to 2n=4x=36. some populations of both species showed (2n=4x=36) chromosome number that is the first report as polyploidy levels. an...

Achillea tenuifolia Lam. (Asteraceae) afforded a methanolic extract from which after fractionation in solvents with different polarities, two known flavones 3', 5- dihydroxy- 4', 6, 7- trimethoxy flavone (eupatorine, compound 3), 5- hydroxy- 3',4', 6, 7- tetramethoxyflavone (compound 4), besides stearic acid (compound 1), lupeol (compound 2), daucosterol (β- sitosterol 3-O- β- D- glucopyranosid...

Achillea tenuifolia Lam. (Asteraceae) afforded a dichloromethane fraction from which three known compounds β-sitosterol (compound1), 5-hydroxy, 4',6,7- trimethoxy flavone (salvigenin compound 2), and methyl-gallate (compound 3) were isolated for the first time. The structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by different spectroscopic methods. Applying the molar-ratio method, the complexatio...

BACKGROUND Tea seed oil is a high quality edible oil, yet lacking sufficient scientific evidences to support the nutritional and medical purposes. We identified major and minor components in Camellia tenuifolia seed oil and investigated the antioxidative activity and its underlying mechanisms in Caenorhabditis elegans. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The results showed that the major constitutes in C. ten...
