Lipid-lowering drugs have been developed to treat hyperlipidemia, but they are expensive, while serious side-effects may occasionally occur. In Albania, a hydroalcoholic extract of the cones of Cupressus sempervirens is used to treat a variety of disorders, including hyperlipidemia. The
Three phenolic compounds cosmosiin, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid were isolated for the first time from the leaves of Cupressus sempervirens L., together with cupressuflavone, amentoflavone, rutin, quercitrin, quercetin, myricitrin. The isolated compounds were identified using (1)H- and
The high level of lipids in seeds of some species of conifers suggested that the glyoxylate cycle might have a role in conifer seed metabolism.Six species (Pinus pinea, Pinus pinaster, Pinus canariensis, Pinus strobus, Abies alba, and Cupressus sempervirens) were investigated for their lipid content
