Evaluation of four traditional Romanian medicinal plants as wound healing agents

Achillea millefolium L., Hyssopus officinalis L., Equisetum arvense L. and Echinaceea purpurea L,. are four medicinal plants traditonally used in Romania for treatment of skin disorders and wound healing. In order to suport their use for new plant derived products the aim of this study was to evaluate their potential to stimulate the wound healing process. We investigated the four herbal extracts by HPLC-MS for the presence of polyphenolic compounds,

Evaluation of four traditional Romanian medicinal plants as wound healing agents

Achillea millefolium L., Hyssopus officinalis L., Equisetum arvense L. and Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, are four medicinal plants traditionally used in Romania for the treatment of skin disorders and wound healing. In order to support their use for new plant derived products the aim of this study was to evaluate their potential to stimulate the wound healing process. We investigated the four herbal extracts by HPLC-MS for the presence of polyphenolic

Phytochemical evaluation of some natural populations of Achillea, Hypericum and Thymus from Romanian Eastern Carpathians used in traditional medicine

The phytochemical composition from the analyzed species was investigated in order to be used in phytopreparations for promoting ethnobotanical traditions from the Eastern Carpathians mountain range. The main phenolic compounds from Achillea samples identified by RP-HPLC-UV are apigenin, luteolin, apigenin-7-glucoside, luteolin-7-glucoside, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid; the highest concentration was found in A. millefolium and A. distans methanolic

Contribution to the comparative studies of natural populations of Veronica from the Romanian Eastern Carpathians

In the study regarding the chemical composition of 5 Veronica species (V. urticifolia, V. austriaca, V. officinalis, V. chamaedrys, V. beccabunga), originating from habitats with reduced anthropization from the area surrounding the Moldavian Subcarpathians, we achieved a general phytochemical analysis to identify the big groups of active principles. By means of TLC and HPLC we analyzed the polyphenolic components, spectrophotometrically dosing the

Chemical variability of some natural populations of Ajuga sp. from the north-eastern part of Romania

Seven natural populations of Ajuga reptans L. and eight of A. genevensis L., harvested in June, 2008, from four counties situated in the north-eastern part of Romania, were investigated to determine their content of flavonoids, polyphenolic acids and iridoids in order to appreciate the inter- and intraspecific chemical variability. Using the TLC qualitaive investigation technique, we resorted to spectrophotometry for the quantitative determination
