in this study, the relationship among four species of polygonum (including p. hyrcanicum (three samples), p. persicaria, p. avicular, and p. hydropiper) was investigated by gc profiling. furthermore, the major compounds of the ethylic ether extract of p. hyrcanicum were identified by gc/ms as: α-bisabolol (17.5%), cedrol (15.9%), sesquisabinene hydrate (13.0%), α-elemol (10.5%) and trans-longip...

  In this study we investigated the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of the aqueous extract (AE), brewed extract (BE) and ethanol extract (EE) of Polygonum avicular in comparison with saline (S) on isolated tracheal chains of the guinea pig. Due to the probable confounding effect of ethanol in the EE, the effects of this extract were also compared with 96 % ethanol. None of the plant...
