Methylglyoxal (MGO) is recognized as being the bioactive component responsible for antibacterial activity of m?nuka honey. MGO content was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV), in isocratic elution, to assess occurrence this compound mono- and multi-floral honey samples representative different botanical geographic origins Italy. Specifically, 110 from sweet cherry t...

Cassida rubiginosa Muller (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a polyphagous pest and commonly distributed across the world. This species regarded as natural enemy of weeds by many researchers, while it also some cultivated plants. In this study, biological parameters C. fed on S. marianum O. boissieri (Asteraceae) were investigated.Average periods egg 5 larval stages, pre-pupa, pupa total developmen...

Background & Aim: Increasing of drug resistances and more attention to the hazards of side effects of synthetic drugs has caused extensive researches on medicinal plant resources. The aim of this study was to determination of the chemical composition of native Silybum marianum and Foeniculum vulgare extractions in Ardabil, Iran; and investigation of their anti...

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare disease that has been linked to certain drugs, such as antibiotics, antifungal agents, anticonvulsants, and antihypertensive agents. Other possible triggers that have been described include infection, pregnancy, allergens, spider bites, iodinated contrast media, herbal medicinal products, and tumors. In some cases, however, the causati...

Previously we have shown that peroraly administered silymarin, a mixture of antioxidant flavonolignans from medicinal plant Silybum marianum (L.), prevents both the accumulation of exogenous cholesterol in the liver and the development of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in rat1, 2. The silymarin-induced decrease of plasma cholesterol has been associated with a decrease in apo B containing lip...

In the present paper are discussed the results of the investigations of the phenylpropanoids of the medicinal plants which are of the great interest as the sources of the neurotropic, adaptogenic, immunostimulating, antioxidative, and hepatoprotective preparations. There were shown the necessity of using of the standard samples of triandrin (Rhodiola rosea L. tissue cultures, Salix viminalis L....

Certain of the water-soluble flavonoid molecules can be converted into lipid-compatible molecular complexes, aptly called phytosomes. Phytosomes are better able to transition from a hydrophilic environment into the lipid-friendly environment of the outer cell membrane, and from there into the cell, finally reaching the blood. The fruit of the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum, Family Asterac...
