We report the isolation of several coumarins and the stereochemical assessment of some pyranocoumarins, as well as the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the three most abundant ones (grandivittin, agasyllin and aegelinol benzoate) isolated from the roots of Ferulago campestris collected in Sicily and of the hydrolysis product (aegelinol). Aegelinol and agasyllin showed antibacterial a...

Ferulago campestris is an aromatic plant, distributed in Mediterranean Europe, and a source of essential oils (EOs) regarded as promising alternatives to synthetic herbicides pesticides. F. EO, hydrodistilled analyzed, was tested for its antigerminative activity effect on radicle elongation, hydrogen peroxide concentration, lipid peroxidation four infesting weed species (Papaver rhoeas, Taraxac...

Background & Aim: A simple and rapid microwave- assisted extraction (MAE) procedure was developed and optimized for the isolation of borneol and bornyl acetate from Ferulago macrocarpa. Ferulago macrocarpa (Apiaceae) is an endemic plant in Iran. Experimental: Dried powdered aerial parts of plants were soaked in water and irradiated with microwave in a Clevenger extraction app...

Abstract Previous and recent literature acquisitions suggested that cultured calli are an efficient meaningful model to investigate the extent fate of prenylation phenylpropanoid cores in plants belonging Rutaceae Apiaceae families upon administration putative biosynthetic precursors. To this concern, present manuscript, we investigated effect supplementation ferulic acid umbelliferone on biosy...
