a comparative study was made between the acaricidal activities of some essential oils: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), lavandula (lavandula angustifolia mill.), thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) and ziziphora (ziziphora clinopodioides lam.) on the important mite pest, tetranychus cinnabarinus boisduval, the carmine spider mite, oncut roses during 2010-2012. the sublethal concentrations of ziziph...

An important marker in neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is abnormal production of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide leading to formation of plaques in the brain. Through decreasing Aβ aggregates, anti-inflammatory agents, phagocytosis, and proteolytic enzymes are known to decline risk of Aβ plaque formation. In the previous study we showed that aqueous extract of Lavandula angustifolia (laven...

A new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan named angustifolin D (1) together with four known lignans: kadsulignan L (2), kadsulignan N (3), schisantherin P (4) and meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (5) were isolated from the stems of Kadsura angustifolia. Their structures and stereochemistries were elucidated by spectral studies. Compounds 2 and 5 showed moderate platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonistic...

Lavandula türleri sahip oldukları bileşikleri nedeni ile tedavide, parfümeride, gıda, kozmetik ve ilaç endüstrilerinde yararlanılan bitkilerdir. Araştırmanın konusu olan angustifola Miller bitkisi, halk arasında çeşitli hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bitkinin ülkemizde yaygın olarak kültürü yapılmaktadır. türleri, etken maddelerinin yanı sıra, özellikle içerdikleri uçucu yağ nedeni...

different treatment strategies of alzheimer's disease (ad) are being studied for treating or slowing the progression of ad. many pharmaceutically important regulation systems operate through proteins as drug targets. here, we investigate the drug target proteins in beta-amyloid (aβ) injected rat hippocampus treated with lavandula angustifolia (la) by proteomics techniques. the reported stu...

The aim of this work was to analyze physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid profile of seed oil of Lavandula bipinnata. The total lipid content of L. bipinnata seed was 27.2%. The oil was liquid at room temperature, with a specific gravity and refractive index of 0.971 and 1.480 respectively. The acid value (5.764 mg NaOH/g), saponification number (188.75 mg KOH/g), ester value (182.98 m...
