Galbanic acid, a sesquiterpene coumarin from Ferula szowitsiana, and conferol, another sesquiterpene coumarin from F. badrakema, were evaluated for their effects on the reversal of multi-drug resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Neither galbanic acid (up to 1000 μg/ml) nor conferol (up to 400 μg/ml) by itself shows any antibacterial activi...

Asafoetida and sagapenum as valuable Iranian oleo-gum-resins from Ferula spp. (F. assa-foetida, F. persica, F. foetida and F. alliacea) have received interest during the history for producing valuable perfumes and common spices or as pharmaceutical agents. The aim of the present work was to characterize sources of asafoetida and sagapenum, according ...
