Feline calicivirus is one of the surrogate viruses human norovirus. This study aimed to identify virucidal compounds, chemical constituents plants from genus Dracocephalum, which are rich in flavonoids and phenylpropanoid oligomers. Four undescribed including a flavanone glucoside, two stilbenoid glycosides, amide glycoside, as well 17 known were isolated Mongolian Dracocephalum fruticulosum St...

The emergence of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major challenge in tuberculosis treatment and control. In addition, multidrug resistance (MDR) and, more broadly, extensive drug resistance (XDR) have hampered treatment with common antibiotics. Thus, an herbal medicine containing antimicrobial capability can be a good alternative to antituberculosis drugs. In this study, we re...

The aim of our study was to investigate the intrinsic diversity of genus based on chemical composition of natural extracts of Cacalia, Dracocephalum, Jatropha, Saussurea and Senecio. Four rarefaction approaches (richness, Shannon’s entropy, Simpson’s diversity, and max-entropy) were implemented as an algorithm and run 10,000 times. Our results showed similar patterns of richness in natural comp...

We established sterile clones of a medicinal plant dragonhead Dracocephalum charkeviczii Prob. (Lamiaceae). used shoots the plants from natural habitat, notably leaf nodes with axillary bud, as explants, sterilized explants in 0.1 % Diocide for 4 minutes and cultivated them on agarized nutrient half-strength MS medium vitamins, 2 sucrose, 0.4 agar, 1 mg/l indolylbutyric acid (IBA), or 0.5 1.0 6...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological activities and chemical fingerprint profiles extracts obtained from twelve Achillea L. species (A. lycaonica, A. biebersteinii (syn: arabica), kotschyi subsp. kotschyi, schischkinii, millefolium millefolium, sintenisii, setacea, teretifolia, wilhelmsii santolinoides wilhelmsii), nobilis, goniocephala, spinulifolia). antioxidant, enzyme ...

Caryopses of Aegilops kotschyi Boiss. from different positions within the same spikelet differ greatly in their degree of dormancy. Imposition of this dormancy pattern is a correlative phenomenon within the spikelet, inasmuch as the uppermost developing caryopsis is least dormant and its development is associated with the dormancy status imposed on the lower (one or two) caryopses. Differences ...
