A comparative study was performed on 12 species of the genus Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae sensu APG 2003, formerly Scrophulariaceae) namely Veronica persica, V. bachofenii, V. urticifolia, V. agrestis, V. austriaca, V. chamaedrys, V. officinalis, V. orchidea, V. spicata, V. beccabunga, V. hederifolia, V. prostrata. In these species we have determined the aucubin and catalpol content by using a H...

Snow hebes are the alpine cushion-forming plants of New Zealand Veronica, formerly classified as Chionohebe. The chemical compositions of Veronica pulvinaris and Veronica thomsonii were studied and 33 water-soluble compounds were isolated. The structures of 14 previously unknown esters of phenylethanoid glycosides were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Further, eight known phenylethanoids, ...

In a chemical investigation of the water soluble compounds in Paederota bonarota five known iridoid glucosides were isolated together with a compound with an 8,9-double bond, namely bonarotoside (10-O-benzoyl arborescosidic acid). The known iridoid glucosides were aucubin, catalpol and the 6-O-esters of catalpol: verproside, catalposide, amphicoside and veronicoside, compounds that are characte...

Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Veronica was influenced by her sister, Julia, who had completed the licensed practical nurse program at the Technical-Vocational Institute of Albuquerque. Veronica took this first step on the ladder by becoming a certified LPN. Veronica continued her education and received her associate degree in nursing from the University of Albuquerque and bachelor of science...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hygrochasy is a capsule-opening mechanism predominantly associated with plants in arid habitats, where it facilitates spatially and temporally restricted dispersal. Recently, hygrochastic capsules were described in detail for the first time in alpine Veronica in New Zealand. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether hygrochastic capsules are an adaptation of al...

Aerial parts of Veronica species are used in Romanian traditional medicine for the treatment of various conditions like kidney diseases, cough, and catarrh, and are known for their wound-healing properties. In the present study, the phenolic and sterolic content and the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of three Veronica species (Plantaginaceae), V. officinalis L., V. teucrium L. and V. ...
