background:  the extracts of different parts of plants were found very effective against various pests. the aim of this research was to determine the insecticidal activity of fruit methanol extracts obtained from melia azedarach (meliaceae), phoenix theophrasti (arecaceae), styphnolobium japonicum (fabaceae) and pyracantha coccinea (rosaceae) against the larvae of culex pipiens (diptera: culici...

Sophora comprises 45-50 species of worldwide distribution, but no general proposal as to the evolution of this group has been put forth. We used cladistic relationships of the quinolizidine alkaloids (matrine, sparteine, methylcytisine, anagyrine, and sophoranol) with morphological and palynological characters to suggest a hypothesis of evolutionary and biogeographic relationships. The mainland...

The rising demand for ginkgo-containing products and their high economic value make them desirable targets adulteration, particularly by the partial substitution with other plant species. Styphnolobium japonicum (plant rich in flavonol glycosides) is known as a potential adulterant of ginkgo-based foods. Therefore, this work aimed at developing species-specific real-time polymerase chain reacti...

Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) is utilized in Korean medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of Fructus sophorae extract (FSE) isolated from the dried ripe fruit of S. japonicum (L.) on the development of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in BALB/c mice. The CIA mice were orally administered FSE or saline daily fo...

Discovering and developing drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been a crucial target for many decades. According large number of later studies, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays an important role in AD treatment. On the other hand, flavonoids are natural compounds that possessed wide variety bioactivities, including inhibitory activity on AChE. In this study, we reported structure rela...
