In this study, distribution of Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal types within generative organs of Astragalus hamosus L. and Astragalus glycyphyllos L. and crystal types of them were examined using light microscopy (LM). During cytoembryological studies on A. glycyphyllos, CaOx crystals have been observed in generative organs. Prismatic and druse type crystals were determined in different regions ...

This paper shows the changes of the volatile compounds from four Astragalus species at three phenological stages: leaf development, flowering and fructification, which might be connected with the plant defense. After GC/MS analyses of Astragalus glycyphyllos L., A. hamosus L., A. cicer L. and A. spruneri Boiss., different groups of volatile compounds were found: hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehyde...

Background and objectives: Traditional medicine is an important approach to achieve new therapeutic strategies in basic and clinical pharmacology. Allium hirtifolium Boiss. and Astragalus hamosus L. have been mentioned in Iranian Traditional Medicine references for a kind of dementia with features and symptoms similar to those of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, the neuroprotecti...

1. ATP sulphurylases were partially purified (20-40-fold) from leaf tissue of Astragalus bisulcatus, Astragalus racemosus (selenium-accumulator species) and Astragalus hamosus and Astragalus sinicus (non-accumulator species). Activity was measured by sulphate-dependent PP(i)-ATP exchange. The enzymes were separated from pyrophosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase activities. The properties of ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the pods of Astragalus hamosus (HAAH), a plant used in Iranian traditional medicine, and antinociceptive effects of different fractions in animal models. The anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by the rat paw edema induced by formalin. Also the analgesic effect was exa...

Astragalus hamosus and corniculatus were examined for the presence of flavoalkaloids, acylated highly glycosylated flavonoids. Non-purified extracts overground parts species subjected to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography – high resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRESIMS) analysis results compared authentic reference substances. A flavoalkaloid kaempferol was ...
