In this study, the essential oil (EO) of Pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica was added at the rate of 10 g/kg of daily diet of rainbow trout and its effect on gut microbiota (Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus spp., total count), growth performance and antioxidant status of rainbow trout fillet was investigated. Sixty apparently healthy rainbow trout with an approximate weight of 150 g ±3.5 were r...

Chukar partridge raising is a profitable business. New feed additives of plant origin may be an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. This study was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of Pistacia atlantica oil on performance and pathological conditions in chukar partridge. One-day-old chukar partridge chicks were assigned to three dietary treatments of 40 birds each. ...

The title compound, C16H24Br2O, was synthesized from the reaction of β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzo-cyclo-heptene), which was isolated from Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica). The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. Each mol-ecule is built up from two fused seven-membered rings and an additional three-membered ring. I...

Chemical composition and in vitro antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of essential oils obtained from leaves and flowers of Pistacia atlantica were studied. GC/GC-MS analyses of the essential oils afforded twenty-two compounds from flower oil and thirty from leaf oil. The antioxidant activity of the essential oils was determined using -carotene-linoleic acid, DPPH • and ABTS • -scav...

The title compound, C(17)H(24)Cl(4), was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzocyclo-heptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The mol-ecule is built up from fused six- and seven-membered rings and two three-membered rings from the reaction of β-himachalene with dichloro-carbene. The six-membered rin...

The title compound, C(16)H(22)Cl(2), a derivative of β-himachalene, was semi-synthesized from natural essential oils of Cedrus atlantica. The mol-ecule is built up from two fused six- and seven-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a perfect chair conformation, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a screw boat conformation; the dihedral angle between the rings is 46.48 (9)°.

ABSTR;ZCT. Stigmaphyllon hispidum, a new species of Malpighiaceae, is described from Bahia, Brazil, where it was collected in a remnant of coastal forest, a vegetation type called Mata Atlantica. Its floral structure and adaxial laminar vesture are most similar to those of S. gayanum, an endemic of the region of Rio de Janeiro. The dense axial vesture, composed of simple basifixed hairs mixed w...

    Background and objectives: Halitosis as a common dentistry ailment which has a prevalence of around 50% of the adult population. There are many dental formulations in traditional Persian pharmacy called “Gharagher”, “Mazmazeh”, “Sonoun”, etc for treatment of halitosis. In the present study, we have tried to describe the step by step moder...

The title compound, C(19)H(32)O(4), was synthesized from γ-himachalene, wich was isolated from essential oils of Cedrus atlantica. The mol-ecule is built up from two fused six- and seven-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a screw-boat conformation, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a half-chair conformation; the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the rings is 61.99 (6)°.
