Abietane diterpenoids and taraxerane-type triterpenes from .

Two abietane diterpenoids, named teuvismine A () and B (), along with two new taraxerane-type triterpenes, named teuvisoic acid A () and B () were isolated from whole plants of . The structures were elucidated by the analysis of HRESIMS spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy, as well as the comparison with published data. All isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines (HCT116, H460, HepG2, BGC823, and HeLa cells).

A review on medical plants based on diterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids: phytochemistry, pharmacology and clinical applications.

Natural products, owing to their chemical diversity, biological activity, and historical success, continue to be a precious source of lead compounds and potential candidates for drug discovery. , in particular, presents a promising avenue for drug discovery due to its long history of usage in traditional Chinese medicine and its well-established clinical applications. Diterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, the characteristic metabolites of , have consistently attracted considerable attention in related scientific research because of their diverse structures and extensive range of bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Elucidating the chemical interaction effects of herb pair Danshen-Chuanxiong and its anti-ischemic stroke activities evaluation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen) and Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong) is the core herb pair in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) formulae for treating ischemic stroke. However, the synergistic effect of Danshen-Chuanxiong against anti-ischemic stroke and its compatibility mechanism remains unclear.

Effects of jasmonic acid in foliar spray and an humic acid amendment to saline soils on forage sorghum plants' growth and antioxidant defense system.

Salinity is one of the primary abiotic stresses that cause negative physiological and biochemical changes due to the oxidative stress caused by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The effect of jasmonic acid (JA) as foliar spray and humic acid (HA) as soil amendment on the growth and biochemical attributes of forage sorghum plants exposed to salinity stress was investigated. Soil treated with NaCl at levels of 0, 2, and 4 g NaCl kg dry soil (designated as S0, S1, and S2) and soil amendment with humic acid at 0, 3, and 6 g HA kg dry soil (designated as HA0, HA1, and HA2).

Gibberellic acid and nitrogen efficiently protect early seedlings growth stage from salt stress damage in Sorghum.

Salinity one of environmental factor that limits the growth and productivity of crops. This research was done to investigate whether GA (0, 144.3, 288.
