In addition, the antifungal activities of the components molecules26061755 were evaluated against Botrytis cinerea, Septoria tritici, and Phytophthora infestans. The anthelmintic potential was determined against Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes. Neither the extract nor the Academic Editors: isolated compounds showed promising activity in all the bioassays.

Taxa of the genus Lagochilus iations. basically occur throughout the territory of Uzbekistan, starting from the deserts to Tian- Shan and Pamir-Alay mountain systems. The majority of species can be found in the Pamir-Alai Mountain, southwest of Tian-Shan and Turanian lowland.
