Background: Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, especially in elderlies. Its exact pathogenesis is not yet known and existing therapies do not have enough efficacy. Therefore, the use of complementary therapies such as traditional Persian medicine for improving memory function is increasing. Objective: The aim of this study is evaluating recommended natural products in important traditional Persian medicine textbooks. Methods: For this purpose, keywords such as "Nesyan" (ie: oblivion, amnesia), "Hafezeh" (ie: memory), "Zekr" (ie: mention) and "Faramoushi" (ie: forgetfulness( were used to search in recommended prescription in important traditional Persian medicine textbooks. Then, the most repeated plants were extracted from the prescription and evaluated for their pharmacological properties recently published articles cited in the scientific databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, and Scopus. Results: 262 natural products were in 96 evaluated prescription, 40 natural products were more

Background: Carotenoids are pigments with important physiological effects in the human body that are involved in strengthening the immune system and reducing the risk of many diseases, including cancer. Objective: With regard to the importance of these substances and the high content of them in carrots ( Daucus carota L.), and in order to identify the most suitable geographical area for obtaining the products with the highest levels of these compounds, the present study was carried out. Methods: Samples were collected and investigated from six major carrot cultivation regions, located in Khuzestan and Isfahan provinces. The effects of climate changes on the amount of these substances were also studied. The extracts were prepared from the samples and the experiments were performed by spectrophotometric method at 663, 645, 480 and 436 nm wavelength, repectively.

Background: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO 2 NPs) may differentially affect physiological and metabolic processes of plants depends on plant species, culture conditions, concentrations and application methods. Objective: Evalaution of the effects of different concentrations of CeO 2 NPs through two different methods at two growth stages on morpho-physiological and phytochemicqal characteristics of red sage ( Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge). Methods: In this study CeO 2 NPs (0, 250, 500, 1000 mg/l) was applied at two growth stages (vegetative and reproductive) via foliar and soil application in a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. Results: Maximum dry weight of aerial parts was obsrved in 250 mg/l CeO 2 NPs foliar application treatment at reproductive stage. Chlorophyll a content was peaked at 250 mg/l CeO 2 NPs soil applied treatment at reproductive stage. Furthermore, the highest content of total phenol, flavonoid, and antioxidant acitivity were obtained in leaf extract of plants foliar treated with 500 mg/l CeO 2 NPs at reproductive stage. The highest root rosmarinic acid and tanshinon content was achived at soil applied CeO 2 NPs of 500 mg/l at reproductive stage, which increased 58.7 and 24.6% compared to the respective control, respectively. Conclusion: According to the obtained results in this study, CeO 2 NPs at 250 and 500 mg/l through foliar application at reproductive stage showed strong effect on improvement of morpho-physiological and phytochemical characteristics in S. miltiorrhiza .

Background: Zataria multiflora Boiss. (Lamiaceae) has been found in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Z. multiflora called ‘Avishane Shirazi’ in Persian is used as a seasoned in many foods in Iran. The literature survey demonstrated that Z. multiflora has immunostimulant, pain-relieving, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal effects and also widely used in traditional medicine for analgesia, diarrhea, infectious diseases, and gastrointestinal problems. Objective: The subject of this study is performing phytochemical constituents of methanolic extract of Z. multiflora . Methods: The application of various chromatographic techniques such as normal and reverse C18 chromatography let to isolation, purification and identification of several flavonoids . Results: In this investigation, the fractionation of methanol extract of the aerial parts of Z. multiflora led to the isolation and purification of three known flavonoid glycosides namely Luteolin 7-O-glucopyranoside, Apigenin 7-O-rutinoside and Luteolin 7-O-rutinoside whose structures were determined by 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic studies, in particular, homo-COSY and hetero (HSQC and HMBC) . Conclusion: The results show a methanolic extract of Z. multiflora is a rich source of flavonoids and triterpenoids.
