This is the first report about the antibacterial activity of Diplotropis ferruginea Benth. In this study, the ethanol extract of D. ferruginea was tested for its antimicrobial activity against strains gram-positive and gram-negative. In order to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration, assays were carried out by micro dilution method. The extract was screened for antimicrobial activity, ...

The use of synthetic antibiotics in small doses and long term against pathogenic bacteria can cause negative effects, such as resistance pathogens killing good bacteria. We needs an innovation to substitute the with natural antimicrobial compounds. Jawer kotok (Coleus scutellarioides L. Benth) has been used medicinal plant shown be efficacious because it contains flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids ...

the seeds of three eucalyptus species (myrtaceae) (origin: australia), including:, eucalyptus loxophleba benth., eucalyptus microtheca f.muell.  and eucalyptus largiflorens f.muell. were cultivated in 1993-1994 at two research stations (shushtar and dezful) in khuzistan province (western south region of iran) and a research station (kashan) in isfahan province (central region of iran). these sp...

Four triterpenes 1-4, including a new naturally occurring oleanane-type triterpene 1, were isolated by a multi-step chromatography procedure from the leaves and twigs of Stachyurus himalaicus var. himalaicus Hook. f. et Thoms.ex Benth. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including HRESIMS, 1H- NMR, 13C-NMR, DEPT, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY spectra. All the isolat...

The present study deals with an analysis of the roots of Rauvolfia serpentine (L) Benth. Ex Kurz under ultraviolet radiation and also under daylight. The coarsely powdered roots were treated with various chemical reagents and the characteristic fluorescence patterns emitted were recorded and are reported in this paper. This study was undertaken as a pharmacognostic standardization to ascertain ...

objectives: lallemantia royleana (benth. in wall.) benth. (lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant used in iranian traditional and folklore medicine in the treatment of various nervous, hepatic, and renal diseases. in the present study, whole seeds of the herb were prepared and evaluated for hypolipidemic activities using an animal model. materials and methods: animals were fed normal diets or diets su...

Two new indole alkaloids, 21-oxokoumine (1) and furanokoumine (2), were isolated from the roots of Gelsemium elegans Benth together with three known compounds. The structures of the two novel compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including NMR, HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, CD and molecular modeling. Compound 1 is the first instance of a koumine-type alkaloid with a carbonyl at the C-21 posi...

Ocimum selloi Benth, a native plant of Brazil, has medicinal uses as anti-diarrheic, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory product. The yield of essential oils of the inflorescences, containing flowers and seeds, was 0.6%, and the yield of leaves, collected in two different seasons, was 0.25% (June 2000) and 0.20% (January 2001), respectively. The essential oils of the inflorescences and leaves p...
