Ten extracts with different polarity from two Iranian Artemisia species, A. armeniaca Lam. and A. aucheri Boiss, were screened for their antimalarial properties by in vitro   β -hematin formation assay. Dichloromethane (DCM) extracts of both plants showed significant antimalarial activities with IC50 values of 1.36±0.01 and 1.83±0.03 mg/mL and IC90 values of 2.12±0.04 and 2.62±0.09 mg/mL for A....

Artemisinin (quinghaosu) is a natural compound, isolated from Artemisia annua L. (Compositae), of current interest in treatment of drug-resistant malaria. Aim of the current study was to hit upon novel artemisinin sources as alternative to A. annua. Therefore, ten species of the genus Artemisia (A. santonicum L., A. taurica Willd., A. spicigera K. Koch, A. herba-alba Asso, A. haussknechtii Bois...

This paper presents the results of analysis acetone, chloroform and diethyl ether extracts three types wormwood: Artemisia absinthium L., armeniaca Lam. latifolia Ledeb., performed by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy. β-myrcene was found in A. from biologically active substances; latifolia, pinene; 3,6-difluoro-4-[1-hydroxy-2-(methiamino)ethyl]benzene-1,2-diol, ethyl palmitate, β-phellandre...

Considering multiple reports on cytotoxic activity of the Artemisia genus and its phytochemicals, in the current study A. armeniaca Lam. and the three components isolated from the plant were subjected to cytotoxic studies. Analytical fractionation of A. armeniaca aerial parts for the first time was directed to the isolation of 7-hydroxy-8-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy) comarin (armenin), 8-hydroxy-...

The essential oils of the aerial parts of A. armeniaca and A. incana, collected from Arasbaran area (East Azarbaijan province, Iran) were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. In total, 16 and 40 constituents were identified and quantified in the oils of A. armeniaca and A. incana representing 80.5% and 84.6% of the oils, respectively. The essential oil of A. armeniaca was mainl...

the genus artemisia containing more than 500 taxa at the specific or subspecific level. thirty-four species of genus artemisia have been reported in iran, which from the viewpoint distribution, density and coverage is the most important genera of plant. since the still has not been achieved a general system for the classification and phylogeny, in this research tried with evaluation of chloropl...
