The caffeoyl derivatives of Stachys leaves (Labiateae) were identified as chlorogenic acid, verbascoside and stachyoside. The latter compound, reported here for the fist time, was shown to be a verbascoside derivative containing an extra glucose residue attached to C-2, C-3 or C-4 of rhamnose. Cotyledonary leaves of Stachys accumulate high levels (8 —16 ^mol/g dry tissue) o f the three caffeoyl...

the antioxidant activity of the different extracts and fractions of aerial parts of otostegia persica (burm.) boiss. were evaluated using beta-carotene bleaching and lipid peroxidation methods. the inhibitory activity of the plant extracts on the peroxidation of linoleic acid were measured by ferric thiocyanate method in comparison to methanolic extracts of green tee, ginkgo biloba, vit.e and b...

total flavonoids contents and antibacterial activity of the extracts from the aerial parts of two labiateae species, nepeta menthoides boiss. & buhse and thymus trautvetteri klokov & desj.-shost. were determined. quantitative determination of flavonoid contents was calculated in terms of quercetin equivalent in various extracts (50% methanol, chloroform and distilled water) by alcl3 colorimetri...
