Fighting against the emergent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remains a big challenge at front of world communities. Recent research has outlined potential various medicinal herbs to counteract infection. This study aimed evaluate interaction artemisinin, sesquiterpene lactone extracted from Artemisia genus, and its derivatives with SARS-CoV-2 main protease. To assess their use COVID-19, interactions active principle severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) protease (Mpro) was...
Background Finding new effective substances to develop drugs against cancer or prevent it remains a big challenge facing scientists and clinicians. Objectives In such an issue, we tested the anti-tumoral effect of Scorzonera undulata extracts on MCF7 cells. Materials Methods Methanolic S. roots (RSU) aerial parts (ASU) from Ha’il region were analyzed by HPLC. Their DPPH scavenging, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) total potentials evaluated. The MTT test was used determine their...
Abstract Background Lead (Pb) is a metal that affects many body systems, primarily the male reproductive system. This study aimed to examine phytochemical profiling and beneficial effects of Juglans regia oil (JRO) in alleviating lead‐induced reprotoxicity‐associated oxidative injury rats. Adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: control group received no treatment, Pb was exposed 0.344 g kg −1 bw acetate, + JRO co‐treated with plus walnut (0.9 bw) only. Results...
Several peptides contained in scorpion fluids showed diverse array of biological activities with high specificities to their targeted sites. Many investigations outlined potent effects against microbes and potential modulate various mechanisms that are involved immune, nervous, cardiovascular, neoplastic diseases. Because important structural functional diversity, it is projected scorpion-derived could be used develop new specific drugs. This review summarizes relevant findings improving use...
<italic>Myrtus communis</italic> L. (Myrtle) is one of the most important aromatic and medicinal species from Myrtaceae family.
This study investigated the druggability, pharmacokinetics and ethyl acetate extract of Teucrium polium (EA T. polium) protective effect against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver cirrhosis in rats. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) scavenging activity were examined. vivo was based on use an animal model CCl4-induced cirrhosis. Four groups rats have been used: Group I: control rats; II: received CCl4 olive oil (0.5 mL/kg); III: EA (25 mg/kg) pretreatment for seven days by gavage...
The cactus family plant has been used in folk medicine for a long time. In this work,
Scorzonera undulata Vahl. roots are used for their nutraceutical and medicinal properties. In this work, GC-MS revealed that polysaccharides (P) the methanolic extract (MB) of S. contained 8 7 different components, respectively. They also potently inhibited Free DPPH radical (IC50% equals 103 ± 0.01 105 µg/ml, respectively) viability Hela cancer cell line (IC50 2.074 0.05 mg/ml 2.208 respectively). Furthermore, showed a relevant anti-inflammatory effect, as assayed by on carrageenan-induced...
Huge plethora of studies pointed out the importance several Artemisia herb molecules as treatment for many diseases. Among these natural substances, some are known to counteract fever, inflammation, blood clotting and oxidative stress. Furthermore, they dotted with activities against different strains viruses including SARS-coronaviruses. For beneficial properties, medicinal herbs deemed a potential candidate covid-19 pandemic.
Scorpion envenomation is common in many countries; however, its effects on pregnancy are still unclear. In the present paper, we described of scorpion pregnant patients. A retrospective study was carried out considering clinical and laboratory exams patients admitted to emergency room Habib Bourguiba Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia, from 1990 2004. Variability these profiles according maternal age, gestational age number previous parities also discussed. Among 167 scorpion-envenomed women, ranged 17...
Summary. Thyroid and thyrotrophic hormone levels in the blood of Friesian cows were determined during oestrous cycle, at different months pregnancy 10 days after parturition. During cycle there was an increase thyroid level oestrus accompanied by a decrease thyroidstimulating hormone. The content low dioestrus while high. No variation noticed pregnancy, except for 9th month. maintained comparatively high first 4 pregnancy. After parturition similar to that observed dioestrus,
This study was designed to assess femur angioarchitecture and hematological effects of Walker 256/B cells in a rat model tumor osteolysis. Tumor osteolysis induced by situ inoculation malignant cells. Six other rats were sham operated served as control. Twenty days later, euthanized, femurs collected than radiographed. Angioarchitecture [mean lumen diameter (MLD), wall thickness (WTh), Vessel number, volume, separation (VNb, VV, VSp respectively)] studied histomorphometry at 2 different...
Thyroidal dysfunction is a risk factor for the development of many metabolic disorders and pathologies. In this work we evaluated status oxidative stress in hypo- hyperthyroidism, as sign developing associated diseases. A total 44 participants have been recruited distributed into three groups: Euthyroidism (6), Hypothyroidism (29) hyperthyroidism (9). Their hematological biochemical parameters were diagnosed. Free thyroxin 4 (FT4) thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) determined using Elisa...
