HIGHLIGHTS Anticancer activities of ASE and DSE extracts were investigated. Angelica sylvestris have anticancer potential on HT-29 HeLa cells. Delphinium staphisagria A549 MCF-7 induce apoptosis cancer

Four new diterpenoid alkaloids: tiantaishansine (1), tiantaishannine (2), tiantaishanmine (3), and tiantaishandine (4) have been isolated from the roots of Delphinium tiantaishan. Their structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral analyses, including ESI-MS, HR-EI-MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR.

Toxic plants such as Delphinium spp. (i.e., larkspur) are a significant cause of livestock losses worldwide. Correctly determining the causative agent responsible for the death of an animal, whether by disease, poisonous plant, or other means, is critical in developing strategies to prevent future losses. The objective of this study was to develop an alternative diagnostic tool to microscopy an...

* The carbon costs of reproduction were examined in four subalpine herbaceous plant species for which number and size of flowers respond differently under a long-term infrared warming experiment. * Instantaneous measurements of gas exchange and an integrative model were used to calculate whole-plant carbon budgets and reproductive effort (RE). * Of the two species for which flowering was reduce...

Delphinium denudatum known as Jadwar, is critically enlarged Himalayan herbs, which was once commonest species. It is distinguished by its relatively small blue or violet color and it is one of the important drugs used as indigenous medicine in India, especially in Unani medicine system. A number of studies have been done on its phytochemical and pharmacological properties. Bioactive constituen...
