Seven undescribed sesquiterpene derivatives, Azerins A-G (3-6, 8, 14 and 15), three known sesquiterpene phenols, kopetdaghin A (1), kopetdaghin B (2) and latisectin (7), together with five known sesquiterpene coumarins (9-13), were isolated from the roots of Dorema glabrum. The structures were elucidated by comprehensive 1D- and 2D-NMR spectral analysis as well as HR-ESI-MS. Compounds were assessed for their in vitro antiprotozoal activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, T.

Introduction: In the present study, we analyzed anti-proliferative and apoptosis induction activity of five phenolic compounds: echisoside, pleoside, chlorogenic acid, 4,5-Di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and cynarin on AGS (adenocarcinoma gastric) cell line.

Method: These phenolic compounds were isolated from methanol extract of Dorema glabrum root. An MTT assay was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect on cancer cells.

Phytochemical analysis of the Ferulago trifida Boiss. from Apiaceae family led to the isolation and identification of suberosin (1), isoimperatorin (2), prantschimgin (3), oxypeucedanin (4), oxypeucedanin methanolate (5), suberenol (6), 6-hydroxymethylherniarin (7), oxypeucedanin hydrate (8), ulopterol (9), bergapten (10), xanthotoxin (11), imperatorin (12) and grandivittin (13) from chloroform extracts of the roots (1-9) and fruits (1, 2, 8, 10-13) of this species. Oxypeucedanin methanolate and suberenol demonstrated a potent antioxidant power with 268.
