A. M.; HUSSEIN, S. A. M.; AYOUB, N. A.; HOFMANN, K.; LINSCHEID, M.; HARMS, M.; WENDE, K.; LINDEQUIST, U.; Pharmazie 64 (2009) 5, 342-347; Dep. Phytochem., Natl. Res.

The Pharmacological Activity of Some Tamaricaceae Plants

“…In addition, the flower extract of T. aphylla proved to be a distinct radical scavenging effect in which it improved the viability of human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) [21]. Furthermore, the aqueous ethanolic extract of the T. aphylla was found to exert an anti-inflammatory activity and antipyretic effect at 20 mg /kg [22].…”

Ellagitannins, gallotannins, and gallo-ellagitannins from the galls of Tamarix aphylla

“…A total of 10 hydrolyzable tannins, together with 3,3ʹ-di-O-methylellagic acid-4ʹ-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), dehydrotrigallic acid (7), and flavogallonic acid dilactone (8), were isolated. Except for dehydrotrigallic acid (7), these compounds were isolated for the first time from the galls of T. aphylla. The isolation of flavogallonic acid dilactone (8) was reported for the first time among plants belonging to the family Tamaricaceae.…”

“…Tamarix aphylla (L.) Karst., (synonym: Thuja aphylla L., Tamarix orientalis Forssk, Tamarix articulate Vahl), a tamaricaceous plant, is a moderately sized tree native across North, East, and Central Africa, through the Middle East, and into parts of Western and Southern Asia [6,7]. Isolation of various phyto-constituents including triterpenoids, sterols, flavonoids, phenolics, phenolic acids, and derivatives of gallic acid and ellagic acid from different parts of plant species has been reported [6][7][8][9][10]. T. aphylla is traditionally used for the treatment of rheumatism [11], and its aqueous ethanolic extract has been shown to exert analgesic and antipyretic activities [12].…”

Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Galinsoga parvifl ora Cav. (Asteraceae) from Egypt

“…The yields were 20, 1000, 550, 100, 5, 5, and 35 mg, respectively. Furthermore, column chromatography of the ethyl acetate fraction afforded four compounds including 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (Torres et al, 2003;Nawwar et al, 2009), protocatechuic acid (Yu et al, 2006), fumaric acid (He et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2010), and uracil (Srivastava and Gupta, 2010). The yields were 5, 30, 15, and 6 mg, respectively.…”
