alkaloid

Previously, crude alkaloid extract from Mitragyna speciosa (MS) Korth was found to produce antidepressant activities.

Despite their common use, the taxanes and vinca alkaloids come with the significant disadvantages of (i) being non-selective, resulting in significant side-effects, (ii) not working in many forms of cancer, and (iii) readily inducing resistance in cancer cells.

Other alkaloids believed to have medicinal action include canescine, deserpidine, recanescine, and rescinnamine.

However, Amerindian tribes had discovered the effects of the alkaloids long before then, when they learned how to secure alkaloid secretions from the skin of poison frogs of one genus to make poison darts for hunting.

This plant was examined and propagated in tissues culture by biotic techniques, with well-defining of alkaloids quantity and the effect of Auxins and Cytokinins combinations on this plant productivity of alkaloids, in addition to studying the effect of nutrients Medium combination upon the quantitative production of Tropane alkaloids in experimentally propagatedDatura plants.

Following the decision by the principal European manufacturers to exit or end market development and regulatory support for the niche range of Tropane Alkaloid APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) - including Atropine, Atropine Sulfate, Tropine, Nortropine, Homatropine Methylbromide, Homatropine Hydrobromide, Digoxin and Cimetropium Bromide - Alchem International (http://www.

The alkaloids were confirmed with Meyer's and Wagner's reagents.

The alkaloids fraction of Leaves Achyranthesaspera Linn induce apoptosis and necrosis in mice mammary Cancer Cells:

Ephedrine alkaloids are adrenaline-like stimulants that can have potentially dangerous effects on the heart.

The study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) showed that beta-carboline alkaloids could potentially be used in therapeutic drugs to stop, or at least slow down, the progressively debilitating effects of Alzheimer's.

Chemical studies have revealed the presence of alkaloids, quinovic acid, glycosides, polyhydroxylated triterpenes, flavonoids and catechins in cat's claw, with some compounds showing a potentiation of phagocytosis by white blood cells.

With these two new benefits against ergot alkaloids and endotoxins, the Mycofix product line has, once again, been proven to be the best approach to counteract a great range of mycotoxins.

Ergot alkaloids may lead to poor feathering and lesions forming on chickens, fescue foot in ruminants and shrunken udders in sows while endotoxins are responsible for endotoxic shock and death.

Among all the natural products, alkaloids tend to display the most potent pharmacological effects," Facchini says.

Rock Creek is exploring processes for the extraction of alkaloids from zero-nitrosamine tobacco for the purpose of using those alkaloids in the development of a generic nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), as well as a potential non-nicotine nutraceutical product.
