Elaeagnus glabra (Thunb.), an evergreen shrub with alternate leaves, has been used as a medicinal plant in Korea. Since many plant-derived molecules have inhibitory effects on tumor cell invasion, primarily via suppression of the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), we investigated the effect of the methanol extract of E. glabra on tumor cell invasion. The invasiveness of HT1080 human ...

It had been demonstrated that Glycyrrhiza glabra extract has biological capabilities include detoxication, antioxidation and antiinfection properties, although there is little data available about its probable side effects on the liver integrity. So, the effects of G. glabra administration on the liver ́s histology and some biochemical parameters were investigated in the rats. Thirty-two Sprague...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the anti fungal activity of ethanolic extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Glycyrrhiza glabra commonly called as liquorice or sweet root is one of the oldest known herbal remedies famous for its vast variety of therapeutic properties. Ethanolic extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra was tested for antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus n...

Five species of Caudinidae occur in New Zealandwaters. Two new species are described: Paracaudina alta sp. nov.; Paracaudina reductia sp. nov. Two species reported previously are discussed: Paracaudina chilensis (Müller) and Paracaudina coriacea (Hutton). A lectotype has been established for P. coriacea (Hutton). Hedingia albicans var. glabra (Théel) is raised out of synonymy with Hedingia albi...

extracts of cotoneaster medicus, glycyrrhiza glabra, as endemic plants of iran, along with mixture of them were investigated for their antioxidant activities using 2, 2- diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl (dpph) reagent. uv-vis spectrophotometry method was used to evaluate the ability of cotoneaster and glycyrrhiza glabra antioxidant to scavenge dpph radical. the kinetic parameters such as rate constant...

"VARD" formula consisting of Rosa damascena Mill. (Rosaceae) petals, and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Papilionaceae) and Nardostachys jatamansi DC. (Valerianaceae), has been proposed for gastric ulcer in Iranian traditional medicine. We investigated the antiulcer activity of each plant separately and in combination. The biochemical and molecular functions of extracts were also evaluated. ...

Rhus michauxii, a rare plant species endemic to the southeastern United States, was previously known only from central North Carolina and one site in Georgia. An additional site, which is now believed to represent the largest known concentration of R. michauxii, was recently discovered at Ft. Pickett near Blackstone, Virginia. Morphological characteristics in several of the Ft. Pickett Rhus pop...
