We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Colchicine in Pharmaceutical Formulations and Biological Fluids
    Innovare International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Academic Sciences ISSN- 0975-1491 Vol 6, Issue 6, 2014 Original Article HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF COLCHICINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS AND BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS BABU GIRIYA GOWDA* Department of Chemistry, Maharani’s Science College for Women, Bangalore 560001, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 24 Apr 2014 Revised and Accepted: 23 May 2014 ABSTRACT Objective: A simple, rapid, precise and accurate high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the estimation of colchicine (COLC) in bulk drug, pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. Methods: The developed HPLC method involves the using of a mixture of acetonitrile : methanol : water (32:48:20 v/v) as a mobile phase. The pH of the mobile phase was adjusted to 5.2 with phosphoric acid. A CLC C18 column . The flow rate of the mobile phase was set to 1.2 ml/min. Injection volume was set at 20 l and the detection of the analyte was done at 254 nm. (5 μm, 25 cm x 4.6 mm i.d.) was used for the elution Results: The linear regression analysis data for calibration curve μshowed a good relationship with correlation coefficient of 0.9997. The concentration range was 7-130 g/ml. The percentage recovery of COLC was found to be 99.87 %. The limits of detection and quantification are also reported. This selective method is found to be accurate, precise and effectively used for the determination of COLC in various pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluidsμ with better chromatographic conditions. Conclusions: The method was successfully applied to the assay of COLC in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids and the results were statistically compared with those of the reference method by applying Student’s t-test and F-test.

  • Ornithogalum
    NATURALLY SPECIAL Naturalising flower bulbs and specialities for public green spaces! CONTENT Naturally Special! Naturalising bulbs is a specialism within the huge range of spring- flowering bulbs. Naturalising means that a flower bulb can not only sustain itself in the right place, but it can also propagate. There are increasingly more of these bulbs. From our own tests and from countless conversations with people in towns, parks and botanical gardens, we have at last drawn up a list of ‘naturalisers’. In combination with plenty of information about the best location, you can create sustainable planting with this selection. With the dramatic decline in the number of insects due to declining biodiversity, attention is fortunately being paid again to plants as providers of nectar and pollen. Our selection of naturalising bulbs can make a good contribution to this issue in early spring. I have a great passion for new ranges from our fellow breeders, and I had to include some of their lovely specialties in this catalogue. Special but readily available for our large customer base! Enjoy this catalogue full of naturalising bulbs & specialties for public green areas!

The observations under wild conditions showed, that the leaves of appeared with flowers in the same stage of life cycle (synanthous) in C. robustum, while in case of C. kotschyi and C. speciosum flowers occurred first and leaves later, in another developmental stage (hysteranthous). Seed’s colchicine content in C. robustum, C. kotschyi and C. speciosum was obtained as 1.28, 0.46 and 0.92 mg g-1 dry weight, respectively. Corm’s colchicine content was higher in C. speciosum than the other species in all seasons. The highest colchicine content of corm in C. speciosum was obtained in winter and autumn (2.17 and 2.13 mg g-1 dry weight, respectively), while in C.

Again, we are coming to you with a new catalogue and again we are including many new varieties in it. Some of them are very special – never before offered, some are returned after very long interruption – they were so popular, that we oversold our stocks and it took a lot of years to rebuilt them. Some are more ordinary things – for those who only start growing of rare bulbs and have little experience. In some words – bulbs for every taste and possibilities, but most important, that all bulbs offered by us are grown and multiplied only in our nursery – we are not selling bulbs from nature. We have to say that the passed season was one of the warmest in my gardening experience, in addition it was the driest, too. There was no rain since end of June and even in October the soil in garden still was very dry. In our unheated tunnel (we use a tunnel to protect bulbs from excessive moisture) shoots of Crocus alatavicus and michelsonii came out of soil in first half of November. But in December temperatures during night fell dawn to minus190 C and there was almost no snow in garden. Fortunately all beds outside are covered with good layer of peat moss and we hope it is sufficient to protect bulbs from frost.

  • Distribution and Biological Activities of the Flavonoid Luteolin Miguel López-Lázaro *
    Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry , 2009 , 9 , 31-59 31 Distribution and Biological Activities of the Flavonoid Luteolin Miguel López-Lázaro * Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, Spain Abstract. Epidemiological evidence suggests that flavonoids may play an important role in the decreased risk of chronic diseases associated with a diet rich in plant-derived foods. Flavonoids are also common constituents of plants used in tra- ditional medicine to treat a wide range of diseases. The purpose of this article is to summarize the distribution and bio- logical activities of one of the most common flavonoids: luteolin. This flavonoid and its glycosides are widely distributed in the plant kingdom; they are present in many plant families and have been identified in Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Pino- phyta and Magnoliophyta. Dietary sources of luteolin include, for instance, carrots, peppers, celery, olive oil, peppermint, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Preclinical studies have shown that this flavone possesses a variety of pharmacological ac- tivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The ability of luteolin to inhibit angiogenesis, to induce apoptosis, to prevent carcinogenesis in animal models, to reduce tumor growth in vivo and to sen- sitize tumor cells to the cytotoxic effects of some anticancer drugs suggests that this flavonoid has cancer chemopreven- tive and chemotherapeutic potential. Modulation of ROS levels, inhibition of topoisomerases I and II, reduction of NF- kappaB and AP-1 activity, stabilization of p53, and inhibition of PI3K, STAT3, IGF1R and HER2 are possible mecha- nisms involved in the biological activities of luteolin. Key Words : Orientin, chemoprevention, cancer, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory.
