The recent pandemic scenario has caused demand for green products that have medicinal aspects, as well greener approaches global health. Natural dye from plants, particularly harmal seeds, is an excellent alternative to carcinogenic yellow synthetic dyes. current study been conducted isolate natural colorants seeds in methanolic medium through Gamma-Assisted Extraction (GAE). dyeing variables a...

Objective Influenza A virus infections are still a major health problem and the choices available for the control and treatment of the disease are limited. This research evaluated in vitro and in vivo antiviral effects of Peganum harmala L. seeds (PHS) extract against influenza A virus. Materials and Methods In this research, in vitro anti-influenza A virus activity of the extract was assesse...

The present work describes the mechanisms involved in the vasorelaxant effect of harmine and harmaline. These alkaloids induce in a dose-dependent manner the relaxation in the aorta precontracted with noradrenaline or KCl. However, the removal of endothelium or pre-treatment of intact aortic ring with L-NAME (inhibitor of NOSe synthetase) or with indomethacin (non-specific inhibitor of cyclo-ox...

Many aldehydes are important components of natural flavours. They are used in food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries in large amounts. Plant cells or microorganisms carry out their production by biotransformation, which is one of the biotechnological methods that allow them to be defined as 'natural'. Cell cultures of Silybum marianum and Peganum harmala have been studied with a view to in...
