Leaf structure and water relations were studied in a temperate population of Avicennia marina subsp. australasica along a natural salinity gradient [28 to 49 parts per thousand (ppt)] and compared with two subspecies grown naturally in similar soil salinities to those of subsp. australasica but under different climates: subsp. eucalyptifolia (salinity 30 ppt, wet tropics) and subsp. marina (sal...

Aviecennia marina (Avicenniaceae) is an endemic plant that widely distributed in the Southern parts of Iran. This plant has been used as treatment of rheumatism arthritis among the inhabitants of Southern parts of Iran. The Avicennia marina hydroalcoholic extract was prepared and its protective efficacy was investigated using measurement of ankle diameter, total WBC and RBC count, ESR, and Pro-...

Three new naphthoquinones and their analogues, named avicequinone-A (1), -B (2), -C (3), and avicenol-A (4), -B (5), -C (6), respectively, were isolated from the stem bark of Avicennia alba (Avicenniaceae) collected in Singapore, and their structures were elucidated by means of spectral methods. Gillan and co-workers have proposed that the structures of the new phytoalexins isolated from Avicen...

Genetic Diversity of Avicennia Marina in Costal Ecosystems Southern Iran Based on Molecular Markers and Morphological Characteristics

OBJECTIVE(S) Regarding the presence of many active biological constituents in Avicennia marina, the present investigation was carried out to study cytotoxic activity of crude methanol leave extract and column chromatographic fractions of A. marina against MDA-MB 231 cell line (human breast cancer cell) and HEK (Human embryonic kidney cell) line. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anticancer activity o...

in vitro assessment of the antifungal activities was evaluated in the present study for both aqueous and ethanol extracts prepared from leaves of avicennia marina and rhizophora mucronata . leaves of mangrove species were collected from qeshm and syrik of south-east coast of iran, mangrove forest respectively. antimicrobial tests were carried out through disk diffusion method. minimum fungicida...

Abstract: A diverse array of bioactive compounds have been isolated and characterized from the mangrove plant Avicennia marina and its endophytes. Extensive chemical investigations of the different parts (barks, leaves, twigs, etc.) of the mangrove plant A. marina and its endophytes (mainly endophytic fungi) resulted in the reporting of the isolation of 123 compounds, and most of them are new o...
