“…11 Besides studies reporting the traditional uses of Ruscus species, other in vitro and in vivo studies indicated the pharmacological activities of these plants such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, lactogenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. 5,9,12,13 Todays, a number of products are developed based on R. aculeatus extracts which are acting on the venous system. [14][15][16][17] These products have a great market in Europe and are utilized for management of vascular diseases.…”

“…27 They differ in chain length, position, and number of double bonds as well as cis/trans orientation. Fatty acids are classified as short chain (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), middle chain (8)(9)(10)(11)(12), and long chain (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Also, fatty acids could be classified based on saturation degree as saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids.…”

Background: Ruscus specie are used as traditional medicine, food, and foliage. The aim of this work is the determination of fatty acid composition of Ruscus hyrcanus as a native medicinal plant of Iran for the first time together with comparison of different esterification methods. Methods: Two different esterification methods were used for preparation of esterified fatty acids from different extracts of underground and aerial parts of the herb. GC/MS analysis were used for identification and quantification of fatty acids. Finally, the results were compared. Results: Findings showed that R. hyrcanus is rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (13-25%) and linolenic acid (23-44%). Also, oil samples contain remarkable amount of palmitic acid (19-57%). Conclusion: The results showed that R. hyrcanus could be considered as a source of essential fatty acids. Also, it could be concluded that a simple esterification method with methanolic KOH and 2 min vortex is suitable for fatty acid analysis of Ruscus species.
