Kaurane diterpenoids from three Sideritis species

2005

Some kaurane diterpenoids were isolated from 3 species of the genus Sideritis (Lamiaceae) growing in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Sideritis libanotica subsp. libanotica contained siderol 2 and sideridiol 3. Sideritis erythrantha var. erythrantha yielded sideridiol 3. Sideritis perfoliata gave siderol 2, sideridiol 3 and sideritriol 4. The products are known as they occur in another species of Sideritis growing in Italy and in other species growing also in Turkey. The products are isolated for the first time from these 3 species. The taxonomic significance of these results is discussed.

Storie di ordinaria corruzione. Libanio, Orazioni LVI, LVII, XLVI Introduzione, traduzione e commento storico

2010

Il volume mira a recuperare la dimensione storica e culturale del retore Libanio di Antiochia. Attraverso l'analisi interna e comparativa di tre discorsi, storicamente legati da un tema dominante, l'iniqua amministrazione del governo provinciale, e accomunati dal medesimo registro retorico, quello dello psogos, della denuncia pubblica e della condanna morale e politica di tre consulares Syriae, vengono documentate tutte una serie d trasformazioni: il passaggio da processo accusatorio a quello inquisitorio, la ferocia dell'interrogatorio sotto tortura, la diversificazione accentuata nel milieu curiale tra honorati e semplici buleuti, la concorrenza di un nuovo modello formativo, basato sul d…

Funzionamento del codice retorico e contenuti ideologici propri dell’autore: Libanio

2006

Through the internal analysis of Libanius of Antioch's Orations 46, 56 and 57, the work attempted to distinguish between the application and functioning of the rhetorical code and the author's own content, between rhetorical devices and ideological assumptions. The study of the density of rhetorical figures is the method of analysis used to verify the objectivity of the speaker's parrhesia

Elogio delle virtù nell’immagine politica di Giuliano in Libanio

2014

Libanius’ Julianic orations play an important role to move closer to knowledge of the interior portrait of this emperor. Julian’s personality is based on four virtues: philoponia, phronesis, philanthropia, sophrosyne. These virtues are panegyrical topoi in the eulogy of the rulers (Basilikos logos), and in the Libanian context they are freely reused, adapted to the present in order to return an image of Julian politically useful; all this doesn’t necessarily imply systematic distortion of the truth. In this connection, Julian’s political image is the exact opposite of the image of his predecessor: the reader is given the conviction that Constance, unlike Julian, would have achieved only a s…

Déchiffrement historique de l’écriture libanienne. À propos de Libanios, Discours 48 et 49

2016

The main theme, the direct relationship with the career of Libanius and the rhetorical common framework, unite at historical level the speeches 48 and 49. The evidence of these two speeches is of primary importance to know the institutional, legal, economic, and social situation in the second half of the 4th century A.D. Indeed, they document a series of transformations, or the appearance of new phenomena: the strong diversification of the curial class, and a broadening gap between the prôtoi and the mere bouleutai; the desertion of the boulai ; the rise in Antioch of new study subjects such as Latin and law. A twofold ideal can be inferred from these two Libanius’ speeches: on the one hand…

Expresiones proverbiales y comedia en la Declamación XXVI de Libanio

2016

Publicado en el monográfico dedicado a: ΕΥΠΟΙΚΙΛΟΝ ΑΝΘΟΣ. Estudios sobre teatro griego en homenaje a Antonio Melero [ES] La Declamación XXVI de Libanio muestra a un misántropo que no soporta los ruidos y se ha casado con una charlatana. El tema de la excesiva locuacidad tiene un amplio reflejo en los proverbios –presentes también en la comedia–, que el autor utiliza para dar vida a su discurso y para caracterizar a sus personajes. [EN] The Declamation XXVI by Libanius shows a misanthrope who does not support noises and is married with a talkative woman. The topic of the excessive talkativeness has a broad reflection in proverbs –also present in the comedy–, which the author uses to breathe …

Anti-anhedonic actions of the novel serotonergic agent flibanserin, a potential rapidly-acting antidepressant

1998

Chronic exposure to mild unpredictable stress has previously been found to depress the consumption of palatable sweet solutions and to block the formation of conditioned place preferences; these effects are reversed by chronic treatment with tricyclic or atypical antidepressant drugs. The present study was designed to evaluate the antidepressant-like activity in this model of flibaserin (BIMT-17), a novel serotonergic agent with 5-HT1A receptor agonist and 5-HT2 receptor antagonist properties. Two experiments were conducted, using rats (experiment 1) and mice (experiment 2). In experiment 1, decreases in sucrose intake were seen in rats exposed to chronic mild stress, but the effect was unr…

Antispasmodic Effects and Structure−Activity Relationships of Labdane Diterpenoids from Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum

2009

Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum is a medicinal plant used in Lebanon to reduce pain and smooth muscle spasms. A chloroform extract obtained from M. globosum aerial parts reduced acetylcholine-induced contractions in the isolated mouse ileum. The purification of this extract identified, among 12 isolated labdane diterpenoids, four new compounds, named 13-epicyllenin A (4), 13,15-diepicyllenin A (5), marrulibacetal (9), and marrulactone (11). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compound 9, which exerted antispasmodic activity, is likely the active ingredient of the extract. Preliminary structure-activity relationships for this class of compounds are suggested.

PERCORSI DI ESEGESI CORANICA : per un rinnovamento del pensiero islamico contemporaneo

2019

Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah è stato uno degli intellettuali di punta dello sciismo imamita del XX secolo, e si colloca in quella scuola di pensiero e azione che, a partire da 'Ali Shariati e passando per Baqir al-Sadr e Musa al-Sadr, ha illustrato íl pensiero sciita contemporaneo. La pubblicazione di questa antologia commentata degli scritti di Fadlallah risulta particolarmente opportuna nel quarantennale della rivoluzione iraniana di Khomeini. Convinto della necessità che la scienza si trasformi in abbrivio all'azione, la tesi capitale di Fadlallah è che l'Islam rifiuta il quietismo e incita alla ribellione, poiché è íl Corano stesso che mobilita gli oppressi secondo il principio della pote…
