objective: achillea is a traditional medicinal herb which contains different phenol and flavonoid compounds that are responsible for achillea pharmacological effects. we aimed to determine phenol and flavonoid contents, besides antioxidant activities of different extracts from achillea eriophoraa (a. eriophora) dc. and achillea biebersteinii (a. biebersteinii) afan. (endemic species in iran) an...

The composition of the essential oils hydrodistilled from the aerial parts of five Achillea biebersteinii Afan samples, collected in central Turkey from Konya, Isparta and Ankara, were analyzed both by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Eighty-four components were identified, representing 87 to 99% of the total oil composition. The identified major com...

background and aims: neurons are injured under physical, chemical and pathological conditions. the effect of peripheral nervous system injuries may return as retrograde to the cell body of neurons in central nervous system resulting in brain and spinal cord degeneration. because of high content of camphor and borneol, achillea biebersteinii from asteracea family may be effective in prevention t...

Sixteen methanolic extracts obtained from thirteen plant species, selected either from ethnobotanical or chemotaxonomical data, were screened for their antileishmanial activity against Leishmania amazonensis. The cytotoxic activity against normal peritoneal macrophages from normal BALB/c mice was also determined. Eight extracts had IC50 values ranging from <12.5 to 37.8 µg/mL against promastigo...

Achillea biebersteinii (A. biebersteinii), one of the species, has been proven to have positive effects in terms pharmaceuticals thanks components it contains. Our study was designed investigate quenching activity A. on total phenolic component, flavonoid component and DPPH radical. The amounts ethanol water extract plant were calculated be equivalent quercetin, phenol gallic acid. radical inve...
