Stachys genus with medicinal properties and high polymorphic features has been considered oneof the largest genera of Lamiaceae. The aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid patternvariations and flavonoid groups in ten Stachys species belonging to two sections; Fragilicaulis,and Aucheriana. The studied species were collected from natural habitats in Iran and analysedfor their flavonoid...

Four rust raxa in 3 genera and one form genus are newly recorded for Iran. Among these, Melampsoridium is a new genus for the Iranian rust flora. M. carpini on Carpinus sp., Coleosporium inulae on Inula salicina ssp. aspera, Puccinia saniculae on Sanicula europea and Uredo Otostegiae on otostegia persica are repoted for the first time in Iran. Number of urediniospore pores formerly believed 2 i...

The title compound, C(16)H(20)O(5), was synthesized from ilicic acid [2-(8-hy-droxy-4a,8-dimethyl-deca-hydro-naphthalen-2-yl)acrylic acid], which was isolated from the chloro-form extract of the aerial part of Inula viscose (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia viscosa- (L) Greuter]. The molecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings, the epoxidized six-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-(4a,8-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octa-hydro-naphthalen-2-yl)acrylic acid anhydride], C(30)H(42)O(3), is a new isocostic anhydride which was synthesized from the aerial part of Inula Viscosa- (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia Viscosa- (L) Greuter]. The mol-ecule adopts an essentially linear shape with two terminal fused-rings bridged by the anhydride group. The exte...

Tomentosin is a natural compound known for its presence in some medicinal plants of the Asteraceae family such as Inula viscosa. Recent studies have highlighted anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Its mechanisms are unique act at different levels ranging from cellular organization to molecular transcriptional factors epigenetic modifications. Tomentosin’s possession modulatory effect o...
