Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which leads to increase concentrations of glucose in the blood [1]. The WHO projects that diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death globally in 2030 [2]. One of the therapeutic approaches for diabetes is inhibition of a-glucosidase [3]. Nowadays, some a-glucosidase inhibitors such as, acarbose and voglibose, are widely used but these compounds have side effects [4]. Based on this result, many efforts have been made to search for more effective and natural a-glucosidase inhibitors [5]. In this Study, we have evaluated the a-glucosidase inhibitory potential and inhibition mode of different fractions of Zataria multiflora
Ethanol extract of Zataria multiflora (ZME) was fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction and four fractions
such as (petroleum ether fraction (ZMP), chloroform fraction (ZMC), ethyl acetate fraction (ZMA) and n-butanol fraction (ZMB)) were obtained. a-glucosidase inhibition was determined according to McCue et al method [6]. Acarbose, was used as a positive control. The enzyme kinetics studied by Line weaver burk plot method. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
The results revealed that ZMA was the most inhibitor of a-glucosidase (IC50= 0.35 ± 0.003 mg/ml, Table 1). The curve of Line weaver-Burke plot revealed that all fractions of Zataria multiflora, exhibited noncompetitive-uncompetitive inhibition (Figure 1, Table 2).

We carried out the first study of Persian edible plant, Zatria multiflora in inhibition of a-glucosidae. Samples included ZMA, ZMC and ZMP (Table 1) were more potent than the positive control acarbose. One advantage of these samples with noncompetitive-uncompetitive inhibitior over acarbose as a competitive inhibitor is that, these samples may not be affected by higher concentrations of the substrate. This study suggests that Zatria multiflora is a promising source of active compounds that can prevent the development of diabetes mellitus type 2.

Pistacia lentiscus resins, commonly known as mastic, is mostly used as a remedy in Persian traditional medicine. So many mastic samples with unknown origin are sold in Iranian herbal stores.
Purpose of this study is detection possible adulteration in samples found in the markets with a claim of mastic resin aiming towards prevention from counterfeiting.
One mastic sample from Greece (CHIOS MASTIHA GROWERS ASSOCIATION) was considered as a reference. then twelve mastic samples from different cities of Iran and other resins with similar appearance including two synthetic petroleum resins (C5 and C9), colophony resin and Boswellia serrata resin were collected and extracted by n-Hexane. All extracts were
