/?-Carboline Alkaloids from Ribes nigrum L

On the Mechanism of Metabolie Reactions of Amino Acids Catalyzed by Vitamin B

Original Communications ß-Carboline Alkaloids from Ribes nigrum L. The deletion mutant Bradyrhizobium japonicum AP22 produces a structurally altered exo-polysaccharide. The nodulation of two cultivars each of Glycine max and Glycine soja, and cultivars of Macroptilium atropurpureum and Vigna radiata, infected with this mutant was examined in order to analyze the role of the exopolysaccharide in...

Production of β-carboline alkaloids on co-culture of peganum harmala L

Introduction: peganum harmala L. (Zygophyllaceae) and varthemia persica DC (Compositeae) were used for co-culture studies. P.harmala was found to be one of the richest natural sources of β-carboline alkaloids. β-carboline alkaloids posses different neuropharmacologic activities including BDZ antagonism, MAOinhibitor and aminoreuptake inhibitor. The production of β-carboline alkaloids in cell ...

Detection of the polyphenolic components in Ribes nigrum L.

BACKGROUND The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) is a species of native currant which contains a lot of polyphenolic antioxidants which is used medicinally and has a fundamental role in the maintenance health. MATERIALS, METHODS AND OBJECTIVE: Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry and ultraviolet range high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to characterize the polyphenolic content...

Bio-elicitation of β-carboline alkaloids in Cell Suspension Culture of Peganum harmala L.

Background: Sustainable and commercial production of secondary metabolites is a critical issue when dealing with its clinical application. Efforts are still being made to look for biotic or abiotic elicitors with more efficient and universal effects on the improvement of secondary metabolites. Objective: In order to evaluate the suitability of different biotic elicitors on P. harmala L. cell...
