Eryngium caucasicum Trautv and Froriepia subpinnata were found in natively in the eastern parts of the south Caspian Sea coasts. Antioxidant activity of E. caucasicum Trautv and F. subpinnata were investigated employing six in vitro assay systems. IC50 for DPPH radical-scavenging activity was 0.27 ± 0.02 for E. caucasicum leaves and 0.42 ± 0.03 mg ml for F. subpinnata, respectively. The extract...

Purpose: To investigate the in vivo antimalarial effect of Eryngium thorifolium, an endemic plant in Turkey. Methods: The methanol and water extracts were prepared and phytochemical analysis conducted on the extracts. Twenty four healthy Balb/c male mice, divided into 4 groups (n = 6), were infected intravenously with Plasmodium berghei and 100 250 mg/kg plant extracts administered orally in a ...

BACKGROUND Herbal medicines have long been used for various ailments in various societies and natural bioactive compounds are gaining more and more importance due to various factors. In this context, three plant species i.e., Eryngium caeruleum, Notholirion thomsonianum and Allium consanguineum have been aimed for the scientific verification of their purported traditional uses against various i...

Background: The genus Eryngium, Apiaceae is widely distributed in the world and used traditional medicine for different therapeutic purposes. Eryngium thyrsoideum was investigated due to a lack of phytochemical studies on probable bioactivities its compounds. Methods: aerial parts plant were extracted using n-hexane, dichloromethane, methanol (MeOH) by soxhlet method. MeOH extract exposed C18 S...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Eryngium alpinum (Apiaceae) is an endangered perennial, characteristic of the Alpine flora. Because the breeding system influences both demographic (reproductive success) and genetic (inbreeding depression, evolutionary potential) parameters that are crucial for population maintenance, the reproductive ecology of E. alpinum was investigated. Specifically, the aims of the stu...

Eryngium foetidum (EF) has long been used as a medicinal plant and culinary spice in tropical regions. Phytochemicals in its leaves have been proposed to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The present study used in vitro digestion coupled with Caco-2 cells to assess such activities. Caco-2 cells were incubated with aqueous fraction from simulated digestion (bio...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular complications. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of chronic administration of ethanolic extract of Eryngium carlinae on glucose, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, and triglycerides levels in serum of streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. Triglycerides, total cholesterol, a...
