hydroalcoholic extract of pycnocycla spinosa is a relaxant of rat ileum and inhibits diarrhea in mice. as p. spinosa extract has spasmolytic activity on ileum, it could also affect other smooth muscles like bladder. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of p. spinosa extract on rat bladder contraction. in an in vitro study, the effects of p. spinosa extract, nifedipine an...

The antioxidative activity of three anthocyanin pigments, extracted from the fruits of chokeberry, honeysuckle and sloe, were studied. Lipid oxidation in the liposome membrane, induced by UV radiation, was evaluated with a thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay. The antioxidant efficiency of the studied compounds follows this sequence: chokeberry > sloe > honeysuckle. The extract concent...

Study of Population Structure Capparis Spinosa and Analysis Morphological Traits using ISSR SCoT Markers

background pycnocycla spinosa decne. ex boiss is an aromatic plant which showed relaxant effects on isolated ileum contractions and antidiarrheal activity. thirty four components have been extracted from p. spinosa essential oil, of which several major constituents were found to show seasonal variation. objectives the aim of this work is to evaluate the diurnal variation of its oil constituents...

hydroalcoholic extract of pycnocycla spinosa has spasmolytic effect in vitro and antidiarrhoeal action in vivo . the aim of this research was to separate fractions of total hydroalcoholic extract of p. spinosa guided by their spasmolytic activity. aerial parts of p. spinosa were extracted with ethanol. the concentrated extract was subjected to column chromatography and thin layer chromatography...

materials and methods statistical and regressive modeling methods were used to investigate the effects of the carbon source and to optimize the production media. results the spinosad production of s. spinosa co121 increased 77.13%, from 310.44 ± 21.84 μg/ml in the initial fermentation medium (with glucose as the main carbon source) to 549.89 ± 38.59 μg/ml in a new optimized fermentation medium ...

this study aimed to investigate morphological changes of capparis deciduas and c. spinosa and their effects on nebkha formation. in order to examine the morphological changes of these plants, nine c. spinosa nebkhas of varying ages were randomly selected and size and number of adventitious roots, number of shoot and buds were counted. results showed that the dead and green parts of c. spinosa i...
