The genus Thymus L. belongs to the Lamiaceae family, consist of about 215 species of herbaceous perennials and small shrubs in the world. They originated from Mediterranean region. This genus is presented in Iranian flora by 14 species, including: T. daenensis, T. carmanicus, T. fallax, T. persicus, T. trautvetteri, T. migricus, T. kotschyanus, T. pubesens, T. nummularius, T. trans...

Artemisia gorgonum (Asteraceae) is an endemic plant to the Cape Verde islands and plays an important role in traditional medicine. The chloroform extract of the plant aerial parts afforded six sesquiterpene lactones, two methoxylated flavonoids, two lignans, and one tetracyclic triterpene, which were isolated by chromatographic methods and their structure established by physical and spectroscop...

Galium species are used as diuretics, choleretics, against diarrhea and in the treatment of some stomach complaints, gout and epilepsy in folk medicine. Most of these species have been extensively investigated for antraquinones and iridoids but little is known about other bioactive compounds classes. Our research aimed to investigate the chemical composition of four Romanian species of Galium i...

The early degradation product distributions from TiO2-mediated photocatalytic degradations of a series of multiply hydroxylated benzenes and their methoxylated analogs is reported. The methoxylated compounds show a distinct trend away from ring-opening reactions that are attributed to electron transfer chemistry towards hydroxylations and demethylations that are attributed to hydroxyl-type chem...

In the recent years, the role of LOX enzymes in the origin of neoplastic diseases such as colorectal, skin, pancreatic and renal cancers has been confirmed. A new series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing 2-pyridyl moiety was synthesized and the cytotoxicity of the members of this series was assessed using MTT protocol. Enzyme inhibitory activity of the prepared compounds was also tested ...

Scrophularia genus belonging to the family of Scrophulariaceae, is a medicinal plant widely distributed in Iran. In the present study,the anti-malarial activity of different extracts of three Iranian endemic species of Scrophularia including S. frigida, S. subaphylla and S. atropatana, was screened by an in-vitro preliminary assay. The plant materials were extracted successively with n-hexane, ...
