The title compound, C(16)H(24)Cl(2)O, 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 forms an extended sheet of two fused rings which exhibit different conformations. The six-membered ring has a half-chair conformation, while the seven-membered...

The recovery of phospholipid, ester-linked fatty acids and phospholipid phosphate from the eubacterium Pseudomonas atlantica was shown to be equivalent for the modified Bligh and Dyer (chloroform/methanol/water) procedure and a hexane/isopropanol (HIP) lipid extraction. In addition to its previously suggested lower toxicity, the HIP solvent system allows lipid analyses to be routinely done on c...

The title compound, C17H24Br2Cl2, was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzo-cyclo-heptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The mol-ecule contains fused six-, seven- and two three-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a half-chair conformation, while the seven-membered ring displays a boat confo...

Four new species of Anastrepha Schiner were collected in McPhail-type traps hung in trees in a natural reserve and in commercial papaya orchards in Linhares, Espírito Santo state, Brazil. They are described and named herein as follows: Anastrepha atlantica n. sp., Anastrepha glochin n. sp., Anastrepha linharensis n. sp. and Anastrepha martinsi n. sp. Only the latter was collected in traps hung ...

in order to evaluate the inter-specific hybrid p. atlantica × p. vera cv. ‘badami- riz- zarand’ to drought stress, a factorial experiement was conducted as based on a completely randomized design of three irrigation intervals 3, 6 and 9 days on qazvini, badami-riz-zarand and the hybrid of p. atlantica × p. vera cv. badami- riz-zarand rootstocks of pistachio. results indicated that such physiolo...

morphological and morphometric characters of two species of superfamily sphaerularioidea, recovered in southwestern iran namely deladenus durus and prothallonema obtusum are given. the recovered specimens of d. durus are characterized by having a valvular chamber in metacorpus and excretory pore posterior to the hemizonid.the iranian population of p. obtusum is characterized by having four line...

Background: Pistacia is a genus of flowering plants from the Anacardiaceae family that grows in different parts Iran. This has pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Objectives: In this study, we investigated anti-melanogenic effect extracts essential oil unripe fruits P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica on B16F10 cell line. M...
