    MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN NATIONAL STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN ON CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN KOKSHETAU, 1999 2 “Kazakhstan should become a clean and green country with fresh air and transparent water…” The Strategy “Kazakhstan-2030” The Republic of Kazakhstan plays an important role in the case of biodiversity conserva- tion. It is the most vast Central Asian state located at the centre of Eurasia on the crossroad of an- cient historic caravan ways which linked Europe and Asia. The state has a huge potential of natu- ral resources that cased the great diversity of landscapes, ecological systems and species. Accu- mulated knowledge and rich experience of Kazakhstani researches let to develop the effective policy in this field. Biological diversity, as the rest of the natural components was mostly threatened due to such problems as drying up of the Aral Sea, nuclear tests during the forty years at the Soviet test- ing areas, and the practice of industrial and agricultural use. Despite the social and economic dif- ficulties of the transition period the way to ecologically safe and sustainable development is be- coming one of the priority directions of the development Strategy of the Republic of Kazakhstan at present time. Development of the National Strategy for implementation of the Convention goals is based on the “Strategy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Development until the Year 2030”, where priority goals and respective objectives have been clearly identified. We believe that the diversity of the animal and vegetable world that Kazakhstan possesses shall not be lost.

  • Sesquiterpenoid Lactones
    Sesquiterpenes SESQUITERPENOID LACTONES Prof. Dr. Ali H. Meriçli Sesquiterpenoid lactones form a group of substances important by its size- approxymately 3.000 known structures- which was described in the older texts of Materia Medica, under the evocative names “bitter principles”. Sesquiterpenoid lactones have a rather scattered botanical distribution, bu they can be found mostly in the Apiaceae and especially in Asteraceae. STRUCTURE The skleta of sesquiterpenoid lactones vary, bu they all arise from the cyclodecadiene-type product of the cyclization 2E,6E-farnesyl pyrophosphate.

  • Artemisia Cina R
    IAJPS, 2015, Volume2, Issue 3, 648-663 Saxena ISSN 2349-7750 ISSN 2349-7750 INDO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Available online at: http://www.iajps.com Review Article ENTIRELY GONE OUT USEFUL PLANT –ARTEMISIA CINA R. B. Saxena Drug Standardization Research – Section, Central Research Institute (Ayurveda & Hospital), Aamkho, Gwalior-474 009 (India). Abstract: The species subjected to the study belong to Asteraceae family, Artemisia genus found in Romania`s spontaneous flora. Artemisia cina plant is a hardy shrub, perennial and flowering in the autumn. The drug is made up of undeveloped flowers, calyces and fragments of peduncles, mixed with foreign matters. It is imported from Barbary and Levant; the later being deemed the best, being less adulterated, and of a greenish hue, and smooth; while that from Barbary is grey and downy. The sementine or worm-powder is not gathered like our seeds. The plant grows in the meadows, and must be ripen; and mischief is that, as it grows near to maturity, the wind scatters a good part of it among the grass, where it is lost, and this makes it so dear. As they dare not touch it with the hand, for frar of making it spoil the sooner, when they would gather what was left in the ear, they have recourse to this expedient : they take two hand-baskets, and walking along the meadows sweep the basket, the one form right to left, the other form left to right, as if they were mowing; by this means the seed is shaking out into the baskets. The adulterations are the seeds of the Tansey ( Tanacetum vulgare ) and the mugwort ( Artemisia vulgaris ).
