TL;DR: The antioxidant activities of crude extract fractions using Hexane, Chloroform, Ethyl Acetate, Butanol and Water of Clematis orientalis andClematis ispahanica were investigated and the predominant phenolic compounds identified by HPLC were Resorcinol and Ellagic acid.
TL;DR: In this paper, a green chemistry method for extracellular synthesis of copper (CuO), Magnesium (MgO) and Iron oxide (FeO) nanoparticles using Clematis orientalis leaves extract was reported.
TL;DR: Findings imply that aqueous ethanol extract as well as different fractions of C. orientalis has noteworthy antiarthritic potential supporting its folkloric use in inflammatory arthritic conditions.
Abstract: Clematis orientalis has been used traditionally to cure rheumatism, but its efficacy has not been scientifically explored in treating rheumatoid arthritis. The present study was designed to investigate the antiarthritic efficacy of C. orientalis using blockade of heat-induced protein alterations and HRBC membrane stabilization methods along with formaldehyde induced arthritis in rats. Aqueous ethanol (30:70) extract and various fractions (hexane, n-butanol and aqueous) produced concentration-dependent and significant (p<0.001) inhibition of protein (egg albumin and bovine serum albumin) denaturation and red blood cell membrane stabilization at 50-6400 ug/mL concentration. Similarly in formaldehyde induced arthritis plant extract and fractions revealed the considerable reduction in paw swelling and its diameter at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg with maximum (p<0.001) effect at the highest dose. Thus present findings imply that aqueous ethanol extract as well as different fractions of C. orientalis has noteworthy antiarthritic potential supporting its folkloric use in inflammatory arthritic conditions.

TL;DR: During the field study of eriophyoid mites from Clematis orientalis L. (Ranunculaceae) in semi-arid and arid environment in East Iran from 2016 to 2017, two newEriophyid mite species were collected and seemed to be vagrants on the green parts.
Abstract: During the field study of eriophyoid mites from Clematis orientalis L. (Ranunculaceae) in semi-arid and arid environment in East Iran (Birjand, South Khorasan, Iran, from 2016 to 2017), two new eriophyid mite species (Trombidiformes: Eriophyidae) were collected. They are Epitrimerus birjandicasp. nov. and Aculus clemachinensissp. nov.; they are illustrated and described herein. Both new species seemed to be vagrants on the green parts. The checklist of eriophyid mites associated with Ranunculaceae throughout the world was provided.
