  • Molecular Identification of Commercialized Medicinal Plants in Southern Morocco
    Molecular Identification of Commercialized Medicinal Plants in Southern Morocco Anneleen Kool1*., Hugo J. de Boer1.,A˚ sa Kru¨ ger2, Anders Rydberg1, Abdelaziz Abbad3, Lars Bjo¨ rk1, Gary Martin4 1 Department of Systematic Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2 Department of Botany, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden, 3 Laboratory of Biotechnology, Protection and Valorisation of Plant Resources, Faculty of Science Semlalia, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco, 4 Global Diversity Foundation, Dar Ylane, Marrakech, Morocco Abstract Background: Medicinal plant trade is important for local livelihoods. However, many medicinal plants are difficult to identify when they are sold as roots, powders or bark. DNA barcoding involves using a short, agreed-upon region of a genome as a unique identifier for species– ideally, as a global standard. Research Question: What is the functionality, efficacy and accuracy of the use of barcoding for identifying root material, using medicinal plant roots sold by herbalists in Marrakech, Morocco, as a test dataset. Methodology: In total, 111 root samples were sequenced for four proposed barcode regions rpoC1, psbA-trnH, matK and ITS. Sequences were searched against a tailored reference database of Moroccan medicinal plants and their closest relatives using BLAST and Blastclust, and through inference of RAxML phylograms of the aligned market and reference samples. Principal Findings: Sequencing success was high for rpoC1, psbA-trnH, and ITS, but low for matK. Searches using rpoC1 alone resulted in a number of ambiguous identifications, indicating insufficient DNA variation for accurate species-level identification. Combining rpoC1, psbA-trnH and ITS allowed the majority of the market samples to be identified to genus level.

  • Long-Lasting Analgesic Effect of the Psychedelic Drug Changa: a Case Report
    CASE REPORT Journal of Psychedelic Studies 3(1), pp. 7–13 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/2054.2019.001 First published online February 12, 2019 Long-lasting analgesic effect of the psychedelic drug changa: A case report GENÍS ONA1* and SEBASTIÁN TRONCOSO2 1Department of Anthropology, Philosophy and Social Work, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain 2Independent Researcher (Received: August 23, 2018; accepted: January 8, 2019) Background and aims: Pain is the most prevalent symptom of a health condition, and it is inappropriately treated in many cases. Here, we present a case report in which we observe a long-lasting analgesic effect produced by changa,a psychedelic drug that contains the psychoactive N,N-dimethyltryptamine and ground seeds of Peganum harmala, which are rich in β-carbolines. Methods: We describe the case and offer a brief review of supportive findings. Results: A long-lasting analgesic effect after the use of changa was reported. Possible analgesic mechanisms are discussed. We suggest that both pharmacological and non-pharmacological factors could be involved. Conclusion: These findings offer preliminary evidence of the analgesic effect of changa, but due to its complex pharmacological actions, involving many neurotransmitter systems, further research is needed in order to establish the specific mechanisms at work. Keywords: analgesic, pain, psychedelic, psychoactive, DMT, β-carboline alkaloids INTRODUCTION effects of ayahuasca usually last between 3 and 5 hr (McKenna & Riba, 2015), but the effects of smoked changa – The treatment of pain is one of the most significant chal- last about 15 30 min (Ott, 1994). lenges in the history of medicine. At present, there are still many challenges that hamper pain’s appropriate treatment, as recently stated by American Pain Society (Gereau et al., CASE DESCRIPTION 2014).

Degree in Chemistry By: Elamein Elsadig Hamad Ismaeel Mergany Elnayer Osman Fathalrahman Mohamed Supervisor: Prof. Mohamed Abdel Karim Mohamed Oct.2016 1-Introduction 1.1-Natural products A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organism—that is, found in nature.[2][3] In the broadest sense, natural products include any substance produced by life.[4][5] Natural products can also be prepared by chemical synthesis (both semi- synthesis and total synthesis) and have played a central role in the development of the field of organic chemistry by providing challenging synthetic targets. The term natural product has also been extended for commercial purposes to refer to cosmetics, dietary supplements, and foods produced from natural sources without added artificial ingredients.[6]Within the field of organic chemistry, the definition of natural products is usually restricted to mean purified organic compounds isolated from natural sources that are produced by the pathways of primary or secondary metabolism.[7] Within the field of medicinal chemistry, the definition is often further restricted to secondary metabolites.[8][9] Secondary metabolites are not essential for survival, but nevertheless provide organisms that produce them an evolutionary advantage.[10] Many secondary metabolites are cytotoxic and have been selected and optimized through evolution for use as 1 "chemical warfare" agents against prey, predators, and competing organisms.[11] Natural products sometimes have pharmacological or biological activity that can be of therapeutic benefit in treating diseases.

  • Switch to Mania After Ayahuasca Consumption in a Man with Bipolar Disorder: a Case Report Alejandro G Szmulewicz1,2*, Marina P Valerio1 and Jose M Smith1
    Szmulewicz et al. International Journal of Bipolar Disorders (2015) 3:4 DOI 10.1186/s40345-014-0020-y CASE REPORT Open Access Switch to mania after ayahuasca consumption in a man with bipolar disorder: a case report Alejandro G Szmulewicz1,2*, Marina P Valerio1 and Jose M Smith1 Abstract Background: There is an increasing use of ayahuasca for recreational purposes. Furthermore, there is a growing evidence for the antidepressant properties of its components. However, there are no reports on the effects of this substance in the psychiatric setting. Harmaline, one of the main components of ayahuasca, is a selective and reversible MAO-A inhibitor and a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Case report: We present the case of a man with bipolar disorder who had a manic episode after an ayahuasca consumption ritual. This patient had had at least one hypomanic episode in the past and is currently depressed. We discuss the diagnostic repercussion of this manic episode. Conclusion: There is lack of specificity in the diagnosis of substance-induced mental disorder. The knowledge of the pharmacodynamic properties of ayahuasca consumption allows a more physiopathological approach to the diagnosis of the patient. Keywords: Ayahuasca; Bipolar disorder; DSM 5; Switch to mania; MAO inhibitors Background oral biodisponibility increases, this interaction being the Ayahuasca is a psychotropic, hallucinogenic beverage, base of ayahuasca psychotropic effect (McKenna 2004). composed of a mixture of Amazonian plants.

This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of Tunisian Peganum harmala seed extracts obtained by two methods of extraction. The antimicrobial activity was also evaluated. The antioxidant activity of the extracts of Peganum harmala was studied by three different methods, including scavenging activity by DPPH, phosphomolybdenum method and reducing power of iron. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using the broth microdilution assay. Results show that extract concentration was directly proportional to the antioxidant activity and the extracts of the maceration extraction showed a higher antioxidant activity than that in extracts of the soxhlet extraction. At all concentrations compared with BHT, the hexane extract have a higher antioxidant activity than those of all extracts of Peganum harmala seeds. For the phosphomolybdenum method, all the extracts showed an increase in antioxidant capacity with an increase in dose.
