ABSTRAC~. -Two gecko species, Hemidactylus turcicus and Cyrtopodion scabrum, have been introduced into the Port of Galveston, Texas. While H. turcicus has been established for a longer period of time, the relatively recent introduction of C. scabrum near the entrance of the Port has apparently led to the disphcement of H. turcicus in that area. This has resulted in a distribution in which the t...

Background & Aim: Vast variety of plants in various regions of the country and lack of enough information on their chemical combinations, sometimes lead to triggering poisoning and unsatisfied complications. Regarding to fabulous herbal characteristics of Hypricum, many research about poisoning and side effects of high concentrations of H. scabrum have not taken place...

The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum L. and Hypericum scabrum L. from plants growing wild in Tajikistan were analyzed by GC-MS. Sixty-six compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. perforatum with germacrene D (13.7%), α-pinene (5.1%), (E)-caryophyllene (4.7%), n-dodecanol (4.5%), caryophyllene oxide (4.2%), bicyclogermacrene ...

OBJECTIVES Hypericum spp. (H.) has been used in traditional medicine for their sedative effect for many years. In spite of many works on this genus, little is known about H. scabrum. In this work antidepressant and its protective effect against hypoxia-induced lethality were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antidepressant and its protective effects against hypoxia-induced lethality were evalu...

BACKGROUND One of the acquired biological hallmarks of tumor multistep development is the resistance of cancer cells to apoptosis; therefore, induction of apoptosis is an important therapeutic approach. Hypericum species are spread throughout the world and have been investigated for their biological properties. OBJECTIVES Our previous studies had demonstrated cytotoxicity of Hypericum scabrum...

Hypericum species are known to be used in traditional therapies. H. scabrum L. is one of the Hypericum species distributed in Turkey. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Hypericum scabrum essential oil inhalation on spatial memory in scopolamine-induced amnesic rats. The essential oil was characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS system. Male wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: control; scop...

The process extraction of hypericin from the aerial parts Hypericum scabrum and perforatum was studied. On basis results research, following conditions were established: extractant – 80% ethanol, particle size raw material no more than 8 mm temperature 20–40 °C. By method mathematical planning experiment according to Box-Wilson, determined, which ensure with a yield 95%. Proposed five-fold H. n...
