The genus Moluccella (Lamiaceae) encompasses eight species among which aucheri (Boiss.) Scheen and M. laevis L. are available in Iran. aim of this study is characterizing the essential oil dried aerial parts collected from South was hydrodistilled then analysed by GC-MS. Twenty-one compounds were identified aucheri. most abundant components an aromadendrane sesquiterpene; spathulenol (63.3%) to...

OBJECTIVES Alcea hyrcana Grossh (A. hyrcana Grossh) (malvacea), is native to northern of Iran. Many of the plants belonging to the genus Alcea are known to possess ethnomedical and biological properties. In this study, antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts of flower, seed and leaves of Alcea hyrcana Grossh were evaluated by various antioxidant assays. MATERIAL AND METHODS 1,1-diphenyl...

Present study is based on the investigation of antioxidant and antihyperglycemic effect of methanolic extract from areal parts of Otostigea aucheri (OA). 2,2-Diphenyl-1 -picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was used to measure the antioxidant activity of extract of the species Otostigea aucheri. The observed scavenging activity for the free radicals was significant and it was compared with the standard...
