Plant remedies, despite their innocuity reputation, are implicated in adverse events. The present review focuses on 30 popular herbs which are associated with severe and sometimes fatal hepatotoxicity: Actaea racemosa, Aloe barbadensis, Atractylis gummifera, Callilepsis laureola, Camellia sinensis, Centella asiatica, Chelidonium majus, Ephedra sinica, Garcinia cambogia, Hypericum perforatum, La...

abstract angelica archangelica, tanacetum cinerariaefolium and chelidonium majus are valuable medicinal plants for which there is no comprehensive information about their seed germination in review of literatures. with regarding of the importance of simple propagation of medicinal plants and the role of seed in production of these plants, this study was set out in order to analyzing of the effe...

Understanding how pollinator behavior may influence pollen transmission across floral types is a major challenge, as pollinator decision depends on a complex range of environmental cues and prior experience. Here we report an experiment using the plant Antirrhinum majus and the bumblebee Bombus terrestris to investigate how prior learning experience may affect pollinator preferences between flo...

Abstract The combination of collagen with natural plant compounds confers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral activities to the polymeric material. These favorable properties enable broad-spectrum application traditional, polymers in biomedicine. In present study, fish was combined commercially available berberine (BBR) naturally occurring protoberberine alkaloids obtained from medi...

PURPOSE This study describes the antibacterial effect of extracts and compounds isolated from the aerial part of Chelidonium majus Linn. (Papaveraceae) acting against clinical strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS The activities were evaluated by using the macrobroth dilution method and reported as the MICs/MBCs. RESULTS Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ...

The alkaloids from Chelidonium majus L. which had a significant inhibitory effect in mitochondrial respiration were those which contain a positive charge due to a quaternary nitrogen atom, i.e., chelerythrine, sanguinarine, berberine and coptisine, both with malate+glutamate or with succinate as substrates. When malate+glutamate was used as substrate, chelerythrine and berberine, which contain ...

The analysis of Celandine extracts (Chelidonium majus L.) by 1H NMR method makes it possible to identify the main alkaloids – derivatives phenanthridine, protoberberin and protopin, use qNMR provides information with satisfactory accuracy about content these alkaloids. determined in composition (0.35%) is 2 times lower than when using spectrophotometric determination procedure described GF Russ...
