“…Various studies have shown that many factors such as climate and especially geographical situations can affect the biological activity of plants, and the biological activity greatly depends on major active components. 3,24,27 Some of these factors may lead to the absence of active constituent(s) of a plant collected from different geographical regions. 28 Data were expressed as mean ± SEM.…”

“…Meanwhile, in different geographical regions, the saffron extract has been proven to reduce the withdrawal signs in morphine-dependent mice. 2 However, despite the undeniable effect of geographical and climatic conditions on the quality of the plant's impact, 3 there is no evidence of the effect of Afghan native saffron on morphine withdrawal signs. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of Afghan native saffron on withdrawal signs in morphine-dependent rats, using the behavioral method.…”

Some experiments which are done on the effect of saffron extract and its constituents on different aspects of morphine dependency in different geographical regions have shown that the extract of saffron, as well as its crocin constituent, are effective in the prevention of withdrawal signs in morphinedependent mice. 2 However, because the previous studies have shown that climate changes, geographical situations, and many other factors, make a great impact on the composition of a plant and thereby on its biological activity, 3,24 this question comes up that Afghan native saffron despite its impression by climate and geographical conditions, what effects will it have on withdrawal signs in morphine-dependent rats. This study wants to focus on this question, so, is going to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of Afghan saffron on morphine-dependent rats, using the behavioral method of counting the naloxoneinduced withdrawal signs.

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen. Over-and improper-use of pharmaceuticals against S. aureus has led to the development of antibiotic resistance, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). This study examined the efficacy of botanical extracts as an alternative form of treatment to S. aureus and MRSA, including penicillin/methicillin-resistant S. aureus (Pen R ), and multidrug resistant S. aureus (MDR). Initial screening of botanicals was done via a minimum inhibitory concentration procedure. In addition, a temporal growth curve was performed in order to quantify the growth of the bacteria in the presence of the extracts. Results demonstrated 13 botanicals that had varying activities against S. aureus, Pen R , and MDR. These botanicals were separated into mild, moderate, and highly efficacious based on the concentration needed to inhibit bacterial growth. These results propose a comparison of botanical-derived antimicrobial extracts that may be utilized against S. aureus and different antibiotic resistant strains of MRSA.

“…It is considered that herbal medicines exert their functions through the synergistic action of multiple components , with neither a single nor only a few compounds being responsible for the overall efficacy of the herbal drug . Moreover, the overall content of the active components in a herbal medicine determines the biological activity and therapeutic effect . Therefore, a comprehensive quality assessment method based on the determination of multiple bioactive compounds is required for the QC of herbal products .…”

Licorice is among the most popular herbal medicines and frequently used in traditional medicine, food products, and cosmetics. In China, only Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat. and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. are officially used and are usually processed with honey prior to use. To maintain the quality of commercially available herbal products, a simple, rapid, and reliable ultra high performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was developed to investigate the major active constituents of commercially available licorice products. Nineteen components were accurately determined, including eight triterpenoid saponins, one triterpene, and ten flavonoids. Subsequently, multivariate statistical analysis methods were employed to further explore and interpret the experimental data. The results indicated that liquiritin apioside may be considered as a candidate index for the quality control of licorice as well as 18β-glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin. In addition, both 18β-glycyrrhizic acid and licorice-saponin G2 can be used for discrimination between crude and honey-processed licorice. Furthermore, using 18β-glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin as markers, this work revealed that the quality of licorice products may have declined in recent years. This highlights the need for additional effort focused on good agricultural practice during the processing of licorice. In summary, this study provides a valuable reference for the quality assessment of licorice.
