Heliotropium foliatum and Tournefortia humilis are transferred to Euploca Nutt. respectively as Euploca foliata comb. n. and Euploca humilis comb. n. A collection from Guyana has been recently identified as Euploca humistrata, a species previously considered a Brazilian endemic. A collection from French Guiana documents for the first time the species in that country. A key to the species of the...

Plant communities dominated by the invasive species Heliotropium curassavicum, Bassia indica and Chenopodium ambrosioides were investigated in fallow land, coastal desert land, newly reclaimed land, canal banks and old reclaimed land in the Nile Delta Mediterranean coast. A total of 19 common species were recorded in this study. They constituted 12 annual and 7 perennial species. The vegetation...

The title compound, C(16)H(14)O(5)·2H(2)O [systematic name: 5-hy-droxy-2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-7-meth-oxy-chroman-4-one dihydrate], is a natural phytoalexin flavone isolated from the native chilean species Heliotropium taltalense and crystallizes with an organic mol-ecule and two water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The 5-hy-droxy group forms a strong intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the c...

Heliotropium indicum is used traditionally as a remedy for conjunctivitis in Ghana. This study therefore evaluated the antiallergic potential of an aqueous whole plant extract of Heliotropium indicum (HIE) in ovalbumin-induced allergic conjunctivitis and attempted to predict its mode of action. Clinical scores for allergic conjunctivitis induced by intraperitoneal ovalbumin sensitization (100 :...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate Cytotoxic, α-Chymotrypsin and Urease inhibition activities of the plant Heliotropium dasycarpum. MATERIALS & METHODS Dichloromethane and methanol extracts of the plant were evaluated for cytotoxic, α-Chymotrypsin and Urease inhibition by using in vivo Brine Shrimp lethality bioassay and in vitro enzymatic inhibition assays respectively. RE...
