Ochradenus aucheri Boiss. (Jesh) belonging to family Resedaceae usually found in sandy areas, hillsides, and mountains. Common southern eastern Iran Pakistan Muscat. Very common throughout mountains at lower elevation on alluvial gravels the northern Emirates. Rapidly colonizes new roadsides, e.g. around Hatta (Western, 1989). Unripe fruits eaten as treatment for digestive problems

The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial effect of Helichrysum arenarium L. essential oil in "invitro" condition on the growth of seven microbial species including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Saccharomyces cereviciae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus using micro-dilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentration ...

Helichrysum bellum Hilliard (Compositae: Inuleae: Gnaphaliinae) is described and illustrated. The genus Helichrysum, its position in the family, discussed, along with placement of Hilliard's Group 28 species relation to recent phylogenetic studies, compared Moeser's original his early revision. richness Drakensburg Alpine Centre commented on, especially some closely related H. bellum. Cultivati...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellites were developed for the widespread Helichrysum odoratissimum (Asteraceae) to estimate gene flow across diploid populations and to test if gene flow occurs among other closely related lineages within this genus. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten primer pairs were developed and tested using populations across South Africa; however, only seven primer pairs were polymorp...

The present study was conducted to investigate the possible anxiolytic and sedative of an acute administration and 4-day repeated dosing of an aqueous extract of flowers of Alcea aucheri (Boiss.) Alef. (EFA)in rats subjected to the elevated plus-maze (EPM), open-field, and horizontal wire tests. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of phe...

Present study is based on the investigation of antioxidant and antihyperglycemic effect of methanolic extract from areal parts of Otostigea aucheri (OA). 2,2-Diphenyl-1 -picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was used to measure the antioxidant activity of extract of the species Otostigea aucheri. The observed scavenging activity for the free radicals was significant and it was compared with the standard...

Eight new glycosides, everlastosides F (1), G (2), H (3), I (4), J (5), K (6), L (7), and M (8), were isolated from the methanolic extract of the flowers of Helichrysum arenarium. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence.

The essential oil of Helichrysum italicum significantly reduces the multidrug resistance of Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Combinations of the two most active fractions of the essential oil with each other or with phenylalanine arginine beta-naphthylamide yield synergistic activity. Geraniol, a component of one fraction, significan...
