Objective(s): Garlic (Allium sativum L. family Liliaceae) is well known in Iran and its leaves, flowers, and cloves have been used in traditional medicine for a long time. Research in recent decades has shown widespread pharmacological effects of A. sativum and its organosulfur compounds especially Allicin. Studies carried out on the chemical composition of the plant show that the ...

Scrophularia genus belonging to the family of Scrophulariaceae, is a medicinal plant widely distributed in Iran. In the present study,the anti-malarial activity of different extracts of three Iranian endemic species of Scrophularia including S. frigida, S. subaphylla and S. atropatana, was screened by an in-vitro preliminary assay. The plant materials were extracted successively with n-hexane, ...

Medicinal plants constitute a source of raw materials for both traditional systems of medicine (e.g. Ayurvedic, Chinese, Unani, Homeopathy, and Siddha) and modern medicine. Nowadays, plant materials are employed throughout the industrialized and developing world as home remedies, over-the-counter drugs, and ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry. As such, they represent a substantial propo...

Abstract Simulation has played an important part in studies of active matter systems, and this paper considers some aspects the use stochastic models for behavior particles complex media applications to functional materials. The scope work is primarily focused on small whose activity derived from chemical reactions diffusiophoretic mechanisms that operate presence fluctuations. Both Langevin pa...

Introduction: Active packaging is one of the innovations in food packaging industry that would be a respons to the changing needs of consumers and markets. In this technique, materials such as adsorbents oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, ethylene and carbon dioxide-releasing flavor compounds, antimicrobials, antioxidants and various aromatic compounds are used. In the last deca...

phytochemical investigations of piper sarmentosum roxb., yielded four compounds; three amides, identified as 3-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxyphenylpropanoyl) pyrrolidine, 3-(4’-methoxyphenylpropanoyl) pyrrole, n -(3-phenylpropanoyl) pyrrole and a sterol namely β -sitosterol . 3-(4’-methoxyphenylpropanoyl) pyrrole was found for the first time in this piper species. all chemical constituents were tested fo...
