Echinophora cinerea aerial parts are used in folk medicine to cure gastric diseases and as a food seasoning in cheese and yogurt. Besides several pharmacological effects have been assigned to Echinophora spp., there is no phytochemical investigation on this genus other than our previous publication on flavonoids. An acetone extract of E. cinerea afforded three new (1-3) polyacetylenes, one rare monoterpenoid glycoside as verbenone-5-O-β-D-glycopyranoside (4) and one prenylated coumarin as osthol (5). The structures of all new compounds were elucidated using modern spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR and mass analyses. The potency of the compounds to induce cell death was determined on SKNMC, PC3 and MCF-7 cell lines using MTT method in which compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate cytotoxic effects, especially against PC3 cells.

Large quantities of chemical herbicides are used in agroecosystems every year, which not only imposes a significant financial burden on farmers but also leads to environmental pollution. To address this challenge, the present study aimed to replace Treflan with Fedaleh essential oils (EO). Treflan is a commonly used chemical herbicide for spring-summer crops, and has been chosen as a prevalent and abundant weed in many agricultural ecosystems.

Rice tablet, also known as aluminum phosphide (ALP), is a nonorganic material used as an insecticide and rodenticide in the storage and transportation of grains. Phosphine gas, released from the chemical material, in contact with humidity and weak acid, can induce poisoning and death. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ethanol extract of Echinophora cinerea leaves on ALP poisoning in heart in rats.

Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the protective effect of the compounds isolated from () against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by cisplatin (CIS) in PC12 cells.
Materials And Methods: Six compounds were isolated as quercetrin-3---D-glucopyranoside (QUE), osthol (OST), verbenone-5---D-glycopyranoside (VER), Isoimperatorin (ISO), kaempferol-3---D-glucopyranoside (KAM), and echinophorin B (ECH). For this study, we used MTT reduction assay for detection of protective effects of isolated compounds on CIS-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells.
