several therapeutic effects including diuretic, anti-pyretic and anti-scurvy have been reported for portulaca oleracea. in previous studies the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-oxidant, muscle relaxant effects and neuropharmacological effects of the aqueous extract of portulaca oleracea have been demonstrated on experimental animals. in the present study the antitussive eff...

The phenolic content, antioxidant, antitumor, and enzyme inhibitory activities of commonly used medicinal herbs from a Unani system of medicine were investigated using four different extraction methods. Among the plants studied, the Hyssopus officinalis L, Origanum vulgare L, and Portulaca oleracea L. extracts showed the highest amount of total phenolics (64.40, 60.35, and 58.81 mg GAE/g) and r...

Portulaca oleracea L. belongs to the family Portulaceae, is a warm-climate annual herb, known as khurfa in Arabic and common purslane in English. The plant is succulent, herbaceous, erect or decumbent growing up to 30 cm height with cylindrical stem of 2-3 mm in diameter. The plant, which is common weed of cultivation, are eaten as a vegetable and used for medicinal purposes. Traditionally, sin...

background: aging contains morphological and functional deterioration in biological systems. d-galactose (d-gal) generates free radicals and accelerates aging. portulaca oleracea (purslane) may have protective effect against oxidative stress. objective: purslane ethanolic extract effects were evaluated on antioxidant indices and sex hormone in d-gal aging female mice. materials and methods: 48 ...

Pot experiments were conducted to study the allelopathic effect of Datura stramonium residue on germination and growth characters purslane (Portulaca oleracea L). Experiments set as completely randomized design with four treatments three replications. Results indicated that concentration affect negatively. The lower level induced a stimulatory plant height, leaf area, shoot root, fresh dry weig...

Background & Aim: Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), belongs to the Portulacaceace family, grows in many parts of Iran. Results of previous studies were indicated purslane is a rich source of essential fatty acids of omega-3 and omega-6.  Portulaca oleracea is a widespread weed, being the eighth common plants of the world. The Aim of current study was to compare the essential f...

objective(s) portulaca oleracea l. is a herbaceous weed from portulacaceae family. it can be found in many parts of the world. modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that p. oleracea have antioxidant effects. the protective effect of aqueous and ethanolic extract of p. oleracea against cisplatin-induced renal toxicity was studied in rats. materials and methods single intraperitoneal i...

Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) seeds show light-controlled dormancy. Ribosome profiles from dark-incubated seeds consist of 22 to 26% polysomes. Light induces germination and stimulates polysome formation during the 12-hour lag period preceding radicle protrusion. Polysome levels increase to 29, 35, and 41% with exposure to 3, 6, and 9 hours of light, respectively. Although polysomes f...

Allelopathy is described as the interference to plant growth resulting from chemical interactions among plants and other organisms mediated through release of bioactive secondary metabolites. Since only a few studies have been reported about role seed allelopathy, an experiment was designed evaluate seeds Portulaca oleracea L. crop species common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), onion (Allium cepa...
