Stimulatory effects on Na+ transport in renal epithelia induced by extracts of Nigella arvensis are caused by adenosine. (1/12)
Effects of the extract of Nigella arvensis (NA) seeds on transepithelial Na(+) transport were studied in cultured A6 toad kidney cells by recording short-circuit current (I(sc)), transepithelial conductance (G(T)), transepithelial capacitance (C(T)) and fluctuation in I(sc). Apical application of NA extract had merely a small stimulatory effect on Na(+) transport, whereas basolateral administration markedly increased I(sc), G(T) and C(T). A maximal effect was obtained at 500 microll(-1) of lyophilized NA extract. The increase in C(T) suggests that the activation of I(sc) occurs through the insertion of transport sites in the apical membrane. In experiments performed in the absence of Na(+) transport [apical Na(+) was replaced by N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG(+))], basolateral NA extract did not affect I(sc) and G(T), indicating that Cl(-) conductance was not influenced. Noise analysis of I(sc) using 6-chloro-3,5-diaminopyrazine-2-carboxamide (CDPC) showed that NA extract reduced single-channel current (i(Na)) and decreased channel open probability (P(o)) but evoked a threefold increase in channel density (N(T)), which confirms the insertion of Na(+) channels. The separation of the compounds in the crude extract of NA was performed by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) on a Superdex 200 gel-filtration column and by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) on an micro RPC C2/C18 SC2.1/10 column connected to a SMART system. Analysis of the purified active fraction by mass spectrometry demonstrated the presence of adenosine as the single organic compound in the extract that had a stimulatory effect on Na(+) transport. In a separate series of experiments, we confirmed that 1 micromol l(-1) adenosine had similar effects on the parameters of Na(+) transport as did the NA extract. The action of adenosine was further identified by experiments in which NA extract was added after adenosine. In these experiments, NA extract did not affect I(sc), G(T) or C(T). These results clearly demonstrate an essential role of adenosine in the stimulatory action of NA extract. (+info)A new alkaloid and its artificial derivative with an indazole ring from Nigella glandulifera. (2/12)
A new compound, nigeglanine (1), and its new artificial derivative (1a), were isolated from the seeds of Nigella glandulifera, together with a known aporphine alkaloid, fuzitine (2). Their structures were established by spectral analysis, including two-dimensional (2D)-NMR spectroscopy. Nigeglanine (1) is the third natural product determined to contain an indazole nucleus. (+info)Sativa seeds against Schistosoma mansoni different stages. (3/12)
The schistosomicidal properties of Nigella sativa seeds were tested in vitro against Schistosoma mansoni miracidia, cercariae, and adult worms. Results indicate its strong biocidal effects against all stages of the parasite and also showed an inhibitory effect on egg-laying of adult female worms. In the present work we also studied the effects of crushed seeds on some antioxidant enzymes; which have a role in protection of adult worms against host oxidant killing; as well as some enzymes of glucose metabolism; which have a crucial role in the survival of adult worms inside their hosts. The data revealed that the used drug induce an oxidative stress against adult worms which indicated by a decrease in the activities of both antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase and enzymes of glucose metabolism, hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Disturbing of such enzymes of adult worms using N. sativa seeds could in turn render the parasite vulnerable to damage by the host and may play a role in the antischistosomal potency of the used drug. (+info)The genetic basis of naturally occurring pollen color dimorphisms in Nigella degenii (Ranunculaceae). (4/12)
Nigella degenii ssp. barbro and ssp. jenny differ from related taxa in being dimorphic for pollen color, with some plants having dark pollen and others light pollen. In this study we performed experimental crosses to determine whether the difference in pollen color is governed by few or many loci and whether the two subspecies utilize the same gene to control pollen color. Patterns of segregation in crosses between morphs show that dark pollen is dominant over light pollen and that a single major gene is responsible for most of the variation in pollen color. Consequently it should be relatively easy for pollen color dimorphisms to establish and spread in these subspecies. Aberrant segregation ratios were attributed to genetic factors that reduced the expression of the allele conferring dark pollen or processes that sorted between color morphs during seed development. Crosses between dark pollen plants from different subspecies showed signs of complementation in the F2 generation, but the frequency of the light morph was too low to support a model involving complementary action of recessive alleles at two separate loci. Based on this and other observations, we hypothesize that the pollen color difference is controlled by the same major locus in the two subspecies. (+info)Gastroprotective activity of Nigella sativa L oil and its constituent, thymoquinone against acute alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats. (5/12)
AIM: To evaluate the role of reactive oxygen species in the pathogenesis of acute ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions and the effect of Nigella sativa L oil (NS) and its constituent thymoquinone (TQ) in an experimental model. METHODS: Male Wistar albino rats were assigned into 4 groups. Control group was given physiologic saline orally (10 mL/kg body weight) as the vehicle (gavage); ethanol group was administrated 1 mL (per rat) absolute alcohol by gavage; the third and fourth groups were given NS (10 mL/kg body weight) and TQ (10 mg/kg body weight p.o) respectively 1 h prior to alcohol intake. One hour after ethanol administration, stomach tissues were excised for macroscopic examination and biochemical analysis. RESULTS: NS and TQ could protect gastric mucosa against the injurious effect of absolute alcohol and promote ulcer healing as evidenced from the ulcer index (UI) values. NS prevented alcohol-induced increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), an index of lipid peroxidation. NS also increased gastric glutathione content (GSH), enzymatic activities of gastric superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Likewise, TQ protected against the ulcerating effect of alcohol and mitigated most of the biochemical adverse effects induced by alcohol in gastric mucosa, but to a lesser extent than NS. Neither NS nor TQ affected catalase activity in gastric tissue. CONCLUSION: Both NS and TQ, particularly NS can partly protect gastric mucosa from acute alcohol-induced mucosal injury, and these gastroprotective effects might be induced, at least partly by their radical scavenging activity. (+info)Cytotoxicity of two triterpenoids from Nigella glandulifera. (6/12)
During an investigation of antitumor substances from Nigella glandulifera Freyn et Sint. (Ranunculaceae) the cytotoxicity of two oleanane triterpene saponins isolated from the seeds of this species, kalopanaxsaponins A and I, was evaluated against HepG2, drug resistant HepG2 (R-HepG2) (two hepatocyte cell lines) and primary cultured normal mouse hepatocytes. Evident cytotoxic activities were observed. Morphological observations and cell cycle analysis suggest that these compounds inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma by inducing apoptosis and consequently kalopanaxsaponins A and I may be potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of parental and drug resistant hepatoma. (+info)Inhibition of melanogenesis by dioctyl phthalate isolated from Nigella glandulifera Freyn. (7/12)
Although a number of melanogenesis inhibitors have recently been reported and used as cosmetic additives, none is completely satisfactory, leaving a need for novel skin-depigmenting agents. Thus, to develop a novel skin-depigmenting agent from natural sources, the inhibition of melanogenesis by Chinese plants was evaluated. A methanolic extract of Nigella glandulifera Freyn was found to inhibit the melanin synthesis of murine B16F10 melanoma cells by 43.7% and exhibited a low cytotoxicity (8.1 %) at a concentration of 100 microg/ml. Thus, to identify the melanogenesis-inhibiting mechanism, the inhibitory activity towards tyrosinase, the key enzyme of melanogenesis, was further evaluated, and the results showed inhibitory effects on the activity of intracellular tyrosinase yet not on mushroom tyrosinase. Finally, to isolate the compounds with a hypopigmenting capability, activity-guided isolation was performed, and Dioctyl phthalate identified as inhibiting melanogenesis.

(+info)"Nigella sativa," also known as black cumin, is not a medical term but a botanical name for a plant that has been used in traditional medicine. The seeds of this plant are used as a spice and have been used in various traditional medicinal systems for their potential health benefits. However, it's important to note that while some studies suggest possible health benefits, more research is needed before any definitive medical claims can be made.
The seeds contain thymoquinone, which has been studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties. However, these studies have primarily been conducted in vitro or on animals, and more research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of Nigella sativa in humans for these purposes.
Therefore, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, including the use of Nigella sativa seeds or oil.
"Nigella" is a term that refers to the seeds or oil derived from the Nigella sativa plant, also known as black cumin or fennel flower. The seeds and oil have been used in traditional medicine for various health purposes, such as treating digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and headaches. However, it is important to note that while some studies suggest potential health benefits of Nigella, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
'Nigella damascena' is not a medical term. It is the scientific name for a plant species that is commonly known as Love-in-a-Mist. Love-in-a-Mist is an ornamental flowering plant native to southern Europe and western Asia. The seeds of this plant are sometimes used in cooking and have been used in traditional medicine, although there is limited scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness for medicinal purposes.
Phytotherapy is the use of extracts of natural origin, especially plants or plant parts, for therapeutic purposes. It is also known as herbal medicine and is a traditional practice in many cultures. The active compounds in these plant extracts are believed to have various medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, or sedative effects. Practitioners of phytotherapy may use the whole plant, dried parts, or concentrated extracts to prepare teas, capsules, tinctures, or ointments for therapeutic use. It is important to note that the effectiveness and safety of phytotherapy are not always supported by scientific evidence, and it should be used with caution and preferably under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
A plant extract is a preparation containing chemical constituents that have been extracted from a plant using a solvent. The resulting extract may contain a single compound or a mixture of several compounds, depending on the extraction process and the specific plant material used. These extracts are often used in various industries including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food and beverage, due to their potential therapeutic or beneficial properties. The composition of plant extracts can vary widely, and it is important to ensure their quality, safety, and efficacy before use in any application.
'Cynara scolymus' is the scientific name for the plant species more commonly known as artichoke. It belongs to the family Asteraceae and is native to the Mediterranean region. The artichoke plant produces large, purple flower buds that are eaten as a vegetable. The edible portion of the bud consists of the fleshy bases of the scales (or bracts) and the heart, which is the base of the bud. Artichokes are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and various nutrients, making them a valuable addition to a healthy diet.
Benzoquinones are a type of chemical compound that contain a benzene ring (a cyclic arrangement of six carbon atoms) with two ketone functional groups (-C=O) in the 1,4-positions. They exist in two stable forms, namely ortho-benzoquinone and para-benzoquinone, depending on the orientation of the ketone groups relative to each other.
Benzoquinones are important intermediates in various biological processes and are also used in industrial applications such as dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. They can be produced synthetically or obtained naturally from certain plants and microorganisms.
In the medical field, benzoquinones have been studied for their potential therapeutic effects, particularly in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. However, they are also known to exhibit toxicity and may cause adverse reactions in some individuals. Therefore, further research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms of action and potential risks before they can be safely used as drugs or therapies.
Medical definitions generally do not include plant oils as a specific term. However, in a biological or biochemical context, plant oils, also known as vegetable oils, are defined as lipid extracts derived from various parts of plants such as seeds, fruits, and leaves. They mainly consist of triglycerides, which are esters of glycerol and three fatty acids. The composition of fatty acids can vary between different plant sources, leading to a range of physical and chemical properties that make plant oils useful for various applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Some common examples of plant oils include olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and jojoba oil.
In medical terms, "seeds" are often referred to as a small amount of a substance, such as a radioactive material or drug, that is inserted into a tissue or placed inside a capsule for the purpose of treating a medical condition. This can include procedures like brachytherapy, where seeds containing radioactive materials are used in the treatment of cancer to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Similarly, in some forms of drug delivery, seeds containing medication can be used to gradually release the drug into the body over an extended period of time.
It's important to note that "seeds" have different meanings and applications depending on the medical context. In other cases, "seeds" may simply refer to small particles or structures found in the body, such as those present in the eye's retina.
"Hemidesmus" is a botanical term that refers to a plant species, rather than a medical condition or concept. The plant is known as Hemidesmus indicus, or Indian sarsaparilla, and it has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for various health purposes such as treating skin diseases, rheumatism, and digestive issues.
The roots of the Hemidesmus indicus plant contain several chemical compounds with potential medicinal properties, including steroidal saponins, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support many of the traditional uses of this plant, and further research is needed to establish its safety and efficacy in modern medical practice.
"Smilax" is a genus of flowering plants, also known as greenbriars. While "Smilax" itself is not a medical term, some species of this plant have been used in traditional medicine. For instance, the roots and rhizomes of Smilax aristolochiifolia (Mexican sarsaparilla) and Smilax ornata (Jamaican sarsaparilla) have been used in traditional herbal remedies for various health conditions, including skin diseases, rheumatism, and sexual impotence. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these uses is generally weak, and these remedies may carry risks, such as allergic reactions or contamination with harmful substances. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
"Lepidium sativum" is the biological name for a plant species more commonly known as garden cress or pepperwort. While it is primarily used as a leaf vegetable, it has been utilized in traditional medicine in various cultures. However, it's important to note that describing 'Lepidium sativum' as a medical term isn't accurate. Medial definitions typically refer to diseases, conditions, symptoms, or procedures. 'Lepidium sativum' is a plant, and its medicinal uses would be described with terms referring to those specific applications.
Functional food is a term used to describe food that has a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. These foods contain bioactive components, such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, proteins, peptides, fatty acids, or various types of carbohydrates, that may help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and promote optimal health. Examples include fortified cereals, omega-3 enriched eggs, probiotic yogurts, and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. It's important to note that functional foods should not replace a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle but can be a part of it.
"Plant preparations" is not a term with a specific medical definition in the field of medicine or pharmacology. However, it is commonly used to refer to various forms of plant material that have been prepared for medicinal use. This can include dried and powdered plant parts, such as leaves, roots, or flowers, as well as extracts or concentrates made from plants. These preparations may be used in traditional medicine or as the basis for modern pharmaceuticals. It is important to note that the safety, effectiveness, and quality of plant preparations can vary widely, and they should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.
"Urtica dioica," also known as stinging nettle, is a plant species native to Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America. While it doesn't have a formal medical definition, it is widely used in herbal medicine. The leaves and stems of the plant contain various compounds, including histamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, and forms of nitrogen like formic acid, which can cause a stinging sensation when they come into contact with human skin.
In medical contexts, Urtica dioica extracts are sometimes used to treat conditions such as allergies, joint pain, and urinary tract infections. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these uses is generally limited, and more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety. As with any medical treatment or supplement, individuals should consult with a healthcare provider before using Urtica dioica for therapeutic purposes.
Traditional medicine (TM) refers to health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal and mineral-based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly or in combination to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being. Although traditional medicine has been practiced since prehistoric times, it is still widely used today and may include:
1. Traditional Asian medicines such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and qigong from China; Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani and Siddha from India; and Jamu from Indonesia.
2. Traditional European herbal medicines, also known as phytotherapy.
3. North American traditional indigenous medicines, including Native American and Inuit practices.
4. African traditional medicines, such as herbal, spiritual, and manual techniques practiced in various African cultures.
5. South American traditional medicines, like Mapuche, Curanderismo, and Santo Daime practices from different countries.
It is essential to note that traditional medicine may not follow the scientific principles, evidence-based standards, or quality control measures inherent to conventional (also known as allopathic or Western) medicine. However, some traditional medicines have been integrated into modern healthcare systems and are considered complementary or alternative medicines (CAM). The World Health Organization encourages member states to develop policies and regulations for integrating TM/CAM practices into their healthcare systems, ensuring safety, efficacy, and quality while respecting cultural diversity.
Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are a type of organic compound that are naturally produced in plants. They are called "volatile" because they evaporate quickly at room temperature due to their high vapor pressure. These oils are composed of complex mixtures of various compounds, including terpenes, terpenoids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and alcohols. They are responsible for the characteristic aroma and flavor of many plants and are often used in perfumes, flavors, and aromatherapy. In a medical context, volatile oils may have therapeutic properties and be used in certain medications or treatments, but it's important to note that they can also cause adverse reactions if not used properly.
