nutraceutics

Isoflavones and other compounds from the roots of Iris marsica I. Ricci E Colas. Collected from Majella National Park, Italy

In this study, a phytochemical analysis was performed, for the first time, on Iris marsica I. Ricci e Colas. In particular, the attention was focused on the constituents of the roots. Twenty-one compounds were isolated by column chromatography and were analyzed/identified by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Chemical profiling of the fruits of Styrax officinalis L. from Monti Lucretili (Latium region, Central Italy). Chemotaxonomy and nutraceutical potential

In this work, the first phytochemical analysis ever performed on the fruits of Styrax officinalis L. (Styracaceae) collected from a population vegetating in the Mounts Lucretili National Park (Italy) was reported.

Phytochemistry, chemotaxonomy, ethnopharmacology, and nutraceutics of lamiaceae

Lamiaceae (or Labiatae) is a family of plants included in the Angiosperms group comprising 12 subfamilies, 16 tribes, 9 subtribes, 236 genera, and more than 7000 species. It represents what is probably one of the best-known and most-studied families from the phytochemical and ethnopharmacological standpoints, because it contains several compounds with great relevance and many important biological properties. In the context of phytochemistry, Lamiaceae can be unofficially divided into two major groups.
