A systematic comparative study of the binding of antitumor Morin and its complexes with DNA has been investigated in the Britton-Robison (BR) buffer solutions using voltammetric and spectroscopic methods. The results show that Morin molecule, acting as an intercalator, is inserted into the cavity of the beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as well as into the base stacking domain of the DNA double helix...

Morin is a fluorochrome which forms a fluorescent complex with aluminium (Al) and is thus used to localize Al in plant tissues. However, reports about the cellular distribution of Al-apoplastic versus symplastic-based on morin staining are often conflicting. The objective of this work was to investigate whether Al localization with morin staining can show the proper cellular distribution of Al....

The present study deals with the synthesis, characterization of zinc-morin complex and evaluation of its antidiabetic efficacy in High Fat Diet (HFD)-fedStreptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of zinc-morin complex to diabetic rats (5mg/kg body weight/day) for a period of 30 days resulted in the decreased levels of blood glucose and HbA1c. Oral administrations of the zin...

BACKGROUND As a poorly water-soluble drug, the oral application of morin is limited by its low oral bioavailability. In this study, a new self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), based on the phospholipid complex technique, was developed to improve the oral bioavailability of morin. METHODS Morin-phospholipid complex (MPC) was prepared by a solvent evaporation method and characteri...

Received 06 July 2012, Revised 15 December 2012, Accepted 16 December 2012 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract The study focuses on the interaction between morin and Tin(II) and the resulting complex was characterized through various analytical techniques by comparing it with morin. T...

The complex formation between Cr(III) and morin was carried out in methanol and confirmed by analytical characterization using UV-Vis, IR, (1)H NMR, and TG-DTA. UV-Vis shows significant bathochromic shift in benzoyl upon coordination as well as IR well illustrates the peak shift of C=O group and formation of a O-Cr(III) bond. Likewise, (1)H NMR studies clarify that Cr(III) metal ion replaces th...

1. The musculotropic activity of eledosin on the isolated guinea-pig ileum is antagonized by morin, a flavonoid derivative.2. The anti-eledoisin activity of morin is abolished by fresh rat plasma and by deproteinized rat plasma, but not by deionized plasma.3. Cupric acetate can restore the inhibitory property of the deionized plasma and can also inactivate morin.4. This effect of rat plasma and...

To overcome the low oral bioavailability of morin, a mixed micelle formulation with pharmaceutical excipients that facilitate solubilization and modulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was developed and evaluated in vitro and in vivo rats. Morin-loaded mixed micelle formulation with a morin-PluronicF127-Tween80 ratio of 1 : 10 : 0.02 (w/w/w) was prepared by a thin-film hydration method. The solubility, ...

Morin has often been used to stain and localise Aluminium in plant tissues. But formation of the morin-Al complex is strongly influenced by the binding stage of Al. As Eticha et al. (2005) pointed out morin is not able to stain Al, which is bound to cell-wall pectin. Lian et al. (2003) assumed also that the morin-Al complex is weak in comparison with other ligands such as oxalate. With regard t...
