herbal based remedies are used worldwide to treat psychiatric disorders. the aim of this study was to analyse the essential oil composition of achillea wilhemsii c. koch (asteraceae) and to evaluate its anxiolytic effects in the elevated plus maze (epm) model of anxiety in rat. gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( gc/ms) analysis of the essential oil showed that the main compounds of the oil ...

After the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill began in April 2010, studies were initiated on northern Gulf of Mexico common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Mississippi Sound (MSS) to determine density, abundance, and survival, during and after the oil spill, and to compare these results to previous research in this region. Seasonal boat-based photo-identification surveys (2010-2012) w...

The detailed investigation of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Achillea nobilis resulted in the isolation of 10 flavonoids. A new C-glycosylflavone, luteolin-6-C-apiofuranosyl-(1'''-->2'')-glucoside, was isolated besides orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isoschaftoside, luteolin-7-O-beta-glucuronide, luteolin-4'-O-beta-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-methyl ether and two rare flavonolglycoside...

Achillea wilhelmsii have been used in folk remedies. The relaxant effects of the extract of A. wilhelmsii on tracheal chains of guinea pigs were examined. The relaxant effects of four cumulative concentrations of the extract, theophylline and saline were examined by their relaxant effects on precontracted tracheal chains of guinea pig by KCl (group 1), 10 μM methacholine (group 2), incubated ti...

The essential oil from the leaves of Juglans regia L. (Juglandaceae) growing wild in Kashmir (India) was obtained by hydro-distillation and analysed during different stages of growth ranging from April to October. The analysis was carried out by a combination of capillary GC-FID and GC-MS analytical techniques. Both qualitative and quantitative differences were observed in the essential oil col...

In this study, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of ‘‘Achillea phrygia’’ were investigated. Since the activity B sub-extract from plant’s chloroform extract is higher than other extracts, Achillea phrygia was used in preparation nanoparticles. Characterization nanoparticles made, activities IC50 values only calculated by cell culture studies XTT viability test. According to results, ...
