Cytotoxic properties of Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum and its bioactive components
2013
Marrubium globosum Montbr. et Auch. ex Benth. ssp. libanoticum Boiss. (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Lebanon for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, asthma, coughs and other pulmonary and urinary problems. The goal of our study was to assess the biological activity of M. globosum by testing different extracts of the aerial parts for their antiproliferative activity against human melanoma cells using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The chloroform fraction showed the greatest activity. The compounds isolated from the extracts were also tested: the mixture of (13 S)-9α,13α-epoxylabda-6β(19),16(15)-diol dilactone and (13 R)-9α,13α-epo…
La legge crudele. L’amministrazione della giustizia di Roma nel IV secolo d.C. tra amplificazione e realtà
2013
Realism and accuracy of the testimony by the rhetor Libanius of Antioch on the arbitrary administration of justice by the governors of Syriac metropolis impress the mark of cruelty upon the judicial practice of the time. The study of the criminal justice system leads to a sociological analysis, although the juridical and social status was losing importance in light of the gravity of the crimen.
Libanio tra attualità e tradizione. L’orazione IX
2022
Libanius’ speech IX reveals the persistence in Libanius of the interest in the religious dimension, free from the polemical tones adopted elsewhere. A global cosmic perspective pervades the speech. The Kalendae Ianuarie festival, marking the beginning of the new year, was a parenthesis of joy and carefreeness for all the inhabitants of the empire, regardless of their religious beliefs. The relevance of this anniversary as a vehicle of imperial ideology for the unity of the empire could explain Theodosius’ rescript of 389 to the praefectus Urbis Romae Albinus on the legal calendar of Rome, which, including not only Easter, but also the Kalendae, would have surprised Libanius himself first. T…
Hezbollah: storia del Partito di Dio
2015
Il libro è pensato come una ricostruzione della storia del Partito di Dio a partire dalla sua nascita (1985) sino ai giorni nostri e più nello specifico sino al 2009, anno di pubblicazione dell’ultimo manifesto ideologico ufficiale ad oggi disponibile. L’opera è immaginata con lo scopo di ripercorrere l’evoluzione di Hezbollah contestualizzando di volta in volta il suo agire ed il suo pensiero, mantenendo come principale punto di riferimento i documenti in arabo pubblicati dagli organi ufficiali del Partito di Dio. The book is conceived as a reconstruction of the history of the Party of God starting from its birth (1985) up to the present day and more specifically up to 2009, the year of pu…

La cooperazione degli organi del Tribunale speciale per il Libano nella tutela dei diritti dei detenuti in attesa di giudizio
2010
Ad un anno dall’inizio del funzionamento del tribunale Speciale per il Libano, questo articolo ne esamina l’operato in materia di diritti dei detenuti in attesa di giudizio. Nonostante si tratti del primo tribunale penale internazionale competente a conoscere crimini perpetrati in un paese dell’area araba, esso si pone pienamente nel solco evolutivo tracciato dai suoi predecessori ed anzi compie alcuni notevoli passi in avanti in tema di tutela dei diritti dei detenuti. All’interno dell’articolo viene esaminato l’operato di tutti i principali organi del Tribunale, mostrando come la tutela dei diritti umani sia stata una costante che ne ha innervato tutta l’attività, sia quella a carattere n…
Antioxidant activity and chemical composition of three Tunisian Cistus: Cistus monspeliensis Cistus villosus and Cistus libanotis
2015
The chemical composition of three rockrose Cistus species, Cistus monspeliensis, Cistus libanotis and Cistus villosus, collected in Tunisia, was studied by HPTLC, focusing on the terpenes and phenols constituents. Diterpenes of Cistus are important as the main constituents of the leaf sticky aromatic resin, known as labdanum, which are highly appreciated in perfumery. Polyphenols in the methanolic extracts of each species were identified, quantified as total and as flavonoids and tannins, and tested for antioxidant activity. Diterpenes were evident in C. libanotis and C. monspeliensis, whereas they were practically absent in C. villosus; C. libanotis had higher phenolic amount, whereas anti…
