El estudio químico de R. monantha Benth, demostró la presencia una gran cantidad manitol como compuesto mayoritario presente en los extractos alcohólicos hoja y tallo. Además, a partir del extracto tallo se logró aislar mezcla esteroles terpenos, que puedieron identificarse β-sitosterol, estigmasterol un derivado lupeol mediante cromatografía comparativa con muestras auténticas metabolitos menc...

O ácido 6α,7β-di-hidroxivouacapan-17β-óico (1) e o 6α,7β-di-hidroxivouacapan-17β-oato de metila (2) são produtos naturais isolados do extrato hexânico de frutos de Pterodon polygalaeflorus Benth. Este trabalho descreve a preparação e caracterização por espectroscopias no infravermelho, de ressonância magnética nuclear e por análise elementar do derivado inédito 6α,7βtiocarbonildioxivouacapan-17...

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the roots of Albizzia lebbeck Benth. (Fabaceae) led to the isolation of one new fatty acid ester 2' αhydroxy octyl hexadecanoate (hydroxyoctyl palmitate) and two new phenolic acid glucosidic ester characterized as salicylic acid-2-O–β-D-glucofuranosyl-6'-octadec-9"-enoate (salicylic acid arabinosyl oleate) along with a fatty acid phytocon...

The oil obtained by hydrodistillation of aerial parts of Phlomis elliptica Benth. (Labiatae), which is a rare shrub endemic to Iran, was subjected to GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Thirty-one constituents, making up about 98.4 % of the total composition of oil, were characterized. Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and other compounds constituted 13.4 %, 78.9 % and 6.1 % of the essential oil, respectivel...

Water extract of the leaves of Coleus aromaticus  Benth. Was tested for its antiurolithiatic activity against calcium oxalate stones in male albino rats. Calcium oxalate stones were induced by feeding 3% w/w sodium oxalate along with normal feed. The water extract of coleus aromaticus (0.5 g/kg and 1.0 g/kg, once, orally for 30 days) was found to be effective in reducing deposition of calcium o...
