Three new trinor-cycloartane glycosides, 15alpha-hydroxy-16-dehydroxy-16(24)-en-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), 28-hydroxy-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (2) and foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1"-->3')-beta-D-xylopyranoside (3) together with the known compound foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (4) were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction of the roots of Cimicifuga foetida...

Phytochemical investigation of the branches of Annona foetida Mart. led to isolation from the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of four alkaloids: Atherospermidine (1), described for the first time in this species, liriodenine (2), O-methylmoschatoline (3), and annomontine (4). Their chemical structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic data from IR, MS, NMR (1D and 2D), and comparison with the l...

The Linnaean name Crepis foetida is lectotypified with an illustration from the third volume of Morison's Plantarum historiae universalis Oxoniensis. While designated lectotype can be identified C. s.l., it cannot ascribed certainty to any currently accepted subspecies this taxon and therefore considered demonstrably ambiguous.

Earthworms possess antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and hemolytic properties. To recognize the molecules responsible for various biological activities of earthworm’s coelomic fluid, a detailed knowledge about its protein contents is required. The aim of this study was to characterize the proteins present within the coelomic fluid of Eisenia foetida earthworm. Polyacrylamide-gel-elec...

The synergistic activities of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA), epoxyoleic acid, sesame seed oil, and autoxidized salmon oil with aflatoxin Bt were studied in rainbow trout. Sterculia foetida oil (49% sterculic, 7% malvalic acids) and Hibiscus syriacus oil (2% sterculic and 19% malvalic acids) were used as sources of CPFA. The combination of both 112 and 56 ppm CPFA procured from S, foetida oi...

This study used morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA to investigate the phylogeny of Passiflora species. The samples were collected from various regions of East Malaysia, and discriminant function analysis based on linear combinations of morphological variables was used to classify the Passiflora specie...

POPOVIĆ, M., M. GRDIŠA, T. M. HRŽENJAK: Glycolipoprotein G-90 obtained from the earthworm Eisenia foetida exerts antibacterial activity. Vet. arhiv 75, 119128, 2005. ABSTRACT G-90 is a glycolipoprotein mixture obtained from the tissue homogenate of earthworm Eisenia foetida (Annelida, Lumbricidae) which exhibits pleiotropic biological functions. The antibacterial activity of G-90 was investigat...

Ferula assa-foetida L. is distributed throughout central Asia and Mediterranean area and grows wildly in Iran and Afghanistan. Asafoetida is an oleo-gum-resin that is the exudates of the roots of Ferula assa-foetida and some other Ferula species. In Iranian traditional medicine, asafoetida is considered to be sedative, analgesic, carminative, antispasmodic, diuretic, antihelmintic, emmenagogue ...
