harmine/inflammation

Harmine is a β-carboline alkaloid with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect. However, the low bioavailability and side effects of harmine severely limited its clinical application. The main objective of this study was to develop harmine-loaded ethosomes (HLE) drug delivery system for topical

Harmine is a beta-carboline alkaloid present in medicinal plants such as Peganum harmala that have been used as folk medicine in anticancer therapy. In this study, we demonstrated the anti-angiogenic activity of harmine using in vivo and in vitro assay systems. In vivo anti-angiogenic activity was

The analogous β-carboline alkaloids, harmaline (HAL) and harmine (HAR), possess a variety of biological properties, including acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and many others, and have great potential for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). However,

Harmine is a major constituent in a hallucinogenic botanical mixture ayahuasca and medical plant Peganum harmala L. The plant is used for various illnesses and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. However, the active constituents remain unclear. Here, we screened the seven alkaloids in P. harmala

Harmine 1 was extracted from the seeds of Peganum harmala. From this natural molecule, a new series of isoxazole derivatives with complete regiospecificity were prepared using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various arylnitrile oxides. Harmine and its derivatives were characterized by (1)H

In our study, a series of new harmine derivatives has been prepared by cycloaddition reaction using various arylnitrile oxides and evaluated in vitro against acetylcholinesterase and 5-lipoxygenase enzymes, MCF7 and HCT116 cancer cell lines. Some of these molecules have been shown to be potent

Operative specimens from 7 patients with urinary bladder cancer and with only inflammatory tissue in the operative sample from one patient, were used for frozen section autoradiography using [C-11]harmine to characterize the expression of the enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). Tissue sections (25

BACKGROUND Harmine is a beta-carboline alkaloid from the plant Peganum harmala. Previous studies found that harmine inhibited metastasis of B16F-10 melanoma cells. This study aims to elucidate the role of harmine in apoptosis of B16F-10 cells. METHODS B16F-10 melanoma cells were treated in the

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality in young individuals, and results in motor and cognitive deficiency. Excitotoxicity is an important process during neuronal cell death, which is caused by excessive release of glutamate following TBI. Astrocytic glutamate transporters have

Harmine is a natural β-carboline alkaloid found in several botanical species, such as the Banisteriopsis caapi vine used in the preparation of the hallucinogenic beverage ayahuasca and the seeds of Syrian rue (Peganum harmala). Preclinical studies suggest that harmine may have neuroprotective and

A significant number of natural compounds have been shown to regulate the behavior of the cells, in collaboration with cellular proteins. CCN2/connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has been reported to have essential roles in cartilage development, chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation as

Acute kidney injury is a common clinical condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is essential to find effective drugs with low side effects in the treatment of acute kidney injury. Harmine is one of the major active components of Peganum harmala L. Harmine possesses various

It is beneficial to treat chronic inflammatory condition in patients through diets that inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO). Since less attention has been paid to alkaloids in the diets than to polyphenols in

BACKGROUND Seeds and aerial parts of Peganum harmala L. are widely used in Algeria as anti-inflammatory remedies. Evaluation of Peganum harmala total alkaloids extracts and pure β-carboline compounds as an anti-inflammatory treatment by the inhibition of an enzyme key of inflammatory,
