Introduction: Bleomycin is a small peptide with 1500Daltun of molecular weight which has two junction areas in two molecule’s opposite sides, one of them to relate to the DNA and the other to relate to the iron. Iron is a crucially important factor in free radical production and cytotoxic activity of bleomycin. Material and methods: The study attempts to study, and compare, the effect of using ...

We investigated the effects of chamomile hot water extract and its major components on the prevention of hyperglycemia and the protection or improvement of diabetic complications in diabetes mellitus. Hot water extract, esculetin (3) and quercetin (7) have been found to show ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous application of salicylic acid concentrations on the physiological and biochemical traits and essential oil content of chamomile under normal and heat stress conditions as induced by delayed sowing. The experiments were conducted during 2011–2012 as a factorial using a randomized complete block design with three replications,...

Antioxidants prevent the reaction of free radicals with biomolecules and can promote the nutritional values and physiological properties of foodstuffs. There are synthetic and natural kinds of antioxidants and nowadays there is a trend to replace the natural kinds instead of the synthetic kinds. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L. ) is a well known and valuable medicinal plants that is used wid...

Essential oils (EOs) of chamomile contain several bioactive compounds, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, triterpenes and fatty acids. Hydrodistillation of chamomile EO induces the formation of chamazulene, a bioactive compound. Chamazulene was isolated from the EO by column chromatography. The total antioxidant capacity confirmed a higher antioxidant activity of chamazulene (IC50 = 6.4 μg...

Genome Wide Assosiation Study (GWAS) in some Chamomile Genotypes (Matricaria chamomilla L.) using Morphological, Phenological Traits

A traditional herbal medicinal product, containing myrrh, chamomile flower, and coffee charcoal, has been used in Germany for the relief of gastrointestinal complaints for decades. Clinical studies suggest its use in the maintenance therapy of inflammatory bowel disease. However, the pharmacological mechanisms underlying the clinical effects are not yet fully understood.The present study aims t...
