Background: Several studies have shown that active compounds of Asclepias subulata (cardenolides) antiproliferative effect on human cancer cells. Cardenolides isolated from A. can be used as chemical markers to elaborate phytopharmaceutical preparations. The aim this work was evaluate the a standardized...

Medicinal plants have been of great importance to human health care since the advent of medicine. A huge array of molecules has been obtained from these phytopharmaceutical-yielding species that have influenced human lives since the beginning of plant-based life-saving medicines. Some of these molecules have taken the form of taxol, aspirin, and artemisinin. With the flourishing era of highthro...

Emerging trends of underutilization of high altitude medicinal plants by Indian phytopharmaceutical industry suggest that therapeutic potential of these species has been exploited to a very less extent despite availability of rich traditional knowledge and also greater possibilities of offering novel bioactive compounds. According to a recent estimate only 20% high altitude medicinal plants ava...

Nowadays, several medicinal plants are used to produce pharmaceuticals. Nonetheless, development of phytopharmaceutical has intrinsic technological challenges [1]. Concerning to liquid and dry plant extracts, the latter possess many advantages over the former. The chemical and microbiological stability are greater in dry extracts. However, the dry extracts usually show poor physicomechanical pr...

Members of the genus Lathyrus are used as food and as traditional medicines. In order to find new sources of biologically-active compounds, chemical and biological profiles of two Lathyrus species (L. czeczottianus and L. nissolia) were investigated. Chemical profiles were evaluated by HPLC-ESI-MSn, as well as by their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. In addition, antioxidant, enzyme inhi...

The extracts of Piper sarmentosum, a medicinal plant, are being used to prepare phytopharmaceuticals while the information about chemical kinetics of constituents of the extract is unavailable to assign precise shelf life (t90) and find optimum storage conditions of the product for patient safety, and to avoid economic repercussions of launching an unstable product. The extract was exposed to t...

The effects of the climatic changes more and more frequently, favour the emergence and the development of plant diseases. Botrytis cinerea and Oidium spp. spores are often responsible for enormous productivity losses in cultures with high commercial interests such as the grapevine. This work aims to detect these airborne spores, before the emergence of lesions in Vitis vinifera. In the rural ar...

The Green Revolution has greatly changed agricultural production methods. Agriculture become more specialized and intensive, the use of phytopharmaceutical products, including insecticides, intensified. However, these are harmful to environment human health. At same time, globalization led introduction alien species (called invasive), whose establishment in Europe been facilitated by abundance ...
