Objective: Boswellic acids (BAs) are active constituents of plant Boswellia serrata. In the present study boswellic acids were extracted from Boswellia serrata and dry methanolic extracts were quantified by HPLC and HPTLC. Method: A gradient HPLC method was used for the quantification of the boswellic acids; 11-keto-β-boswellic acid (KBA) and 3acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA). A direct HP...

Screening of anti-biofilm compounds from the burdock leaf based on metabolomics is reported here. The crystal violet assay indicated 34% ethanol elution fraction of burdock leaf could completely inhibit biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 1 mg·mL(-1). Then, the chemical composition of burdock leaf fraction was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPL...

Background: To develop the high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) finger print profile of hydroalcoholic and ethylalcohol extracts seeds Tudri Surkh (Cheiranthus cheiri). Methods: Chromatographic technique was used for separation components from HPTLC carried out using CAMAG system equipped with Linomat V applicator, WinCATS software.Results: profiling extract confirm presence vario...

Corchorus depressus (L.) Stocks syn. C. depressus (L.) C. Chr. (Tiliaceae), commonly known as Baphuli, traditionally used in pain, fever, sexual dysfunction and to treat gonorrhea. In the present investigation, various pharmacognostical standards for C. depressus have been established. Collection of plant material was carried out and its morphological, physico-chemical and phytochemical studies...

Cell suspension cultures from hypocotyl-derived callus of Hyssopus officinalis were found to produce two sterols i. e. beta-sitosterol (1) and stigmasterol (2), as well as several known pentacyclic triterpenes with an oleanene and ursene skeleton. The triterpenes were identified as oleanolic acid (3), ursolic acid (4), 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (5), 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxyurs...

The pentacyclic triterpenoid ursolic acid (UA) and its isomer oleanolic acid (OA) are ubiquitous in food and plant medicine, and thus are easily exposed to the population through natural contact or intentional use. Although they have diverse health benefits, reported cardiovascular protective activity is contentious. In this study, the effect of UA and OA on platelet aggregation was examined on...
