extracts obtained from the aerial parts of stachys lavandulifolia (lamiaceae) are used in iranian folk medicine as remedies for the treatment of various painful and inflammatory diseases. for evaluation of its probable analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, hydroalcoholic, polyphenolic and boiled extracts of the aerial parts of the herb were prepared and their analgesic effects were studied i...

A rosane type diterpenoid has been isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Stachys parviflora. The structure elucidation was based primarily on 1Dand 2D-NMR techniques including correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY). Density functional theory...

Recently a potent anti-inflammatory effect of hydroalcoholic extract of the aerial parts of the sterile stems of Stachys inflata has been reported. This study examined whether hydroalcoholic extract isolated from aerial parts of non-flowering stems of Stachys inflata (standardized to contain 4.5% caffeic acid derivatives) reduce myocardial infarct size arising from coronary artery occlusion (30...
