Microbial activity is a primary mode of deterioration of many foods and is often responsible for the loss of quality and safety. Concern over pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in foods is increasing due t...

Objective(s): Histone deacetylase inhibitory and cytotoxic activities of 18 naturally occuring terpenoids (ferutinin, stylosin, tschimgine and guaiol), coumarins (umbelliprenin, farnesiferone B, conferone, feselol, ligupersin A, conferdione, conferoside) and sulfur-containing derivatives (latisulfies A-E, persicasulphides A and C) from the roots of three species of Ferula (Ferula latisecta, Fer...

introduction: considering the prevalence of epilepsy and the failure of available treatments for many epileptic patients, finding more effective drugs in the treatment of epilepsy seems necessary. oxidative stress has a special role in the pathogenesis of epileptic syndrome. therefore, in the present study, we have examined the anti-epileptic and anti-oxidant properties of the ferula assa foeti...

recent investigations have shown that plants have antioxidant properties and could decrease oxidative stress in different human diseases. the present work was identified the chemical composition compounds and evaluated the various antoxidative activities of ferula-assa-foetida leaves hydroalcoholic extract (flhe) and ferula-assa-foetida leaves essential oil (fleo) . radical scavenging activity ...

ferula assa-foetida l . is distributed throughout central asia and mediterranean area and grows wildly in iran and afghanistan. asafoetida is an oleo-gum-resin that is the exudates of the roots of ferula assa-foetida and some other ferula species. in iranian traditional medicine, asafoetida is considered to be sedative, analgesic, carminative, antispasmodic, diuretic, antihelmintic, emmenagogue...
