The multipurpose medicinal plant, Ruta graveolens, used widly as a traditional treatment for many diseases. The present study was carried out on Wistar rats to evaluate the toxicity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of R. graveolens seeds at two different doses 50 and 200 mg/kg/day orally for 4 weeks. The rats were allotted to five groups, each of six rats. One group served as control. Two grou...

Several acridone alkaloids have been isolated from roots of Ruta graveolens (for summary see [1, 2]). One of the main alkaloids is rutacridone (1) which seems to be a precursor of several derivatives with hydroxyl or chlorine functions at the isopropyl moiety. As an intermediate an 18,19-epoxide of rutacridone could be postulated [1, 3] that has not yet been identified. Screening for antimicrob...

Dried parts of different plant species often look alike, especially in powdered form, making them very difficult to identify. Ruta graveolens, sold as a dried medicinal herb, can be adulterated with Euphorbia dracunculoides. The genomic DNA was isolated from the leaf powder (100 mg each) using the modified CTAB method. Internal transcribed spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA-I...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Ruta oreojasme is an endangered species endemic to Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), where it occurs in small populations with disjunct distribution. Nothing is known about the genetic structure of these populations. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a microsatellite-enriched library method, 10 microsatellite markers have been developed from R. oreojasme, all ...
