Sugar Containing Compounds and Biological Activities of .

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract obtained from the aerial parts of (Lamiaceae) afforded the new compound 1-methoxy-3---glucopyranosyl-α-l-oliose () together with five known glycosides, namely sitosterol-3---glucoside (), stigmasterol-3---glucoside (), pinitol (), 6-hydroxyl-7--loganin (), and chlorotuberoside (). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, especially HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the methanolic extract and the isolated compounds was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and crystal violet (CV) staining assays.

Comparative study on the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils of three species collected from Uzbekistan.

species are mainly distributed in Central Asia and widely used in folk medicine as a sedative and haemostatic. The present investigation reports on the extraction by hydrodistillation and the chemical composition of three species ( and ) essential oils from Uzbekistan. The chemical composition of these essential oils was determined by GC-MS.
