en فارماکوگنوزی Pharmacognosy پژوهشي Original Research <p><em>Geum iranicum</em> Khatamsaz (Rosaceae) is an endemic plant in Iran. The infusion and decoction of the plant have been used by local people for medicinal purposes. Our previous work on phytochemical studies on <em>G. iranicum</em> showed that the root was rich in sugars and sucrose was identified as a major one in it. In this study, the content of sucrose in the hydro-alcoholic (1:1) extract of the root of <em>G.&nbsp; iranicum </em>was analyzed using HPLC. The amount of sucrose has been evaluated as 31.75% in the extract and 8.16% in the dried root. As a result, the presence of high amount of sucrose in the root of <em>G. iranicum</em> can be applicable for preparation of any pharmaceutical formulations of this plant.</p> Geum iranicum, root, sucrose, quantification, HPLC 31 36 http://pbr.mazums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-26-21&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Somayeh Shahani 10031947532846001110 10031947532846001110 Yes Department of Pharmacognosy and Biotechnology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran Ahmad Reza Gohari 10031947532846001111 10031947532846001111 No Medicinal Plants Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Hamid Reza Monsef-Esfahani 10031947532846001112 10031947532846001112 No Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
