From the aerial parts of Stachys byzanthina C. Koch., a new flavone glycoside, was isolated for the first time in addition to known two flavone glycosides. Structures were established by conventional methods of analysis and confirmed by H, C NMR and mass spectral analysis. Antiproliferative activities of isolated compounds, crude extract and fractions, fatty acids (extracts of hexane and hexane...

The volatile oil compositions of five Stachys species (Stachys officinalis L., St. grandiflora Host., St. byzantina Koch., St. germanica L. and St. sylvatica L.) have been studied using a GC/MS technique. All species gave low yields of oil. From St. officinalis 38 compounds were separated and partly identified, from St. grandiflora 24, St. byzantina 30, St. germanica 29 and St. sylvatica 43. Al...

The oils obtained by hydrodistillation and steam distillation of the aerial parts of Stachys persica Gmel. and Stachys byzantina C. Koch grown in Iran were analyzed by GC/MS. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of S. persica was characterized by a high amount of non-terpenoid components of which methyllinoleate (27.7%), hexadecanoic acid (9.8%) and 6,10,14-trimet...

Background and Aims: Stachys L. species, which are members of the Lamiaceae family, have long been applied for their therapeutic benefits especially to cure cough, infection, genital tumors, ulcers, inflammatory illnesses, wounds in Anatolian traditional medicine. In current study, various extracts prepared from aerial parts cretica subsp. bulgarica Rech.f. (SC), byzantina K. Koch (SB), thirkei...

biological invasions form a major threat to the provision of ecosystems productsand services and can affect ecosystems across a wide spectrum of bioclimatic conditions.therefore, it is important to systematically monitor the spread of species over broad regions. ithas long been recognized that remote sensing and geographical information system couldcontribute to this capacity. this paper aims t...
