Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1144: SAR, Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Natural Inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro Spike Protein
riq Mahmood The SARS-CoV-2 virus and its mutations have affected human health globally and created significant danger for the health of people all around the world. To cure this virus, the human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptor, the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), and spike proteins were found to be likely candidates for the synthesis of novel therapeutic drug. In the past, proteins were capable of engaging in interaction with a wide variety of ligands, including both manmade and plant-derived small molecules. Pyrus communis L., Ginko bibola, Carica papaya, Syrian rue, and Pimenta dioica were some of th...

FEMA GRAS assessment of natural flavor complexes: Allspice, anise, fennel-derived and related flavoring ingredients
Food Chem Toxicol. 2023 Feb 3:113643. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113643. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe FEMA Expert Panel program to re-evaluate the safety of natural flavor complexes (NFCs) used as flavoring ingredients in food has resulted in the publication of an updated constituent-based procedure as well as publications on the safety evaluation of many botanical-derived NFCs. This publication, tenth in the series and related to the ninth publication, describes the affirmation of the generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status for NFCs with propenylhydroxybenzene and allylalkoxybenzene constituents under their condition...

Severe allergic reaction to allspice, a hidden food allergen
A wide variety of spices are in culinary use for food flavoring, coloring, and preservation.1 Spice allergy is uncommon, and it is estimated that around 2% of food allergy reactions in adults are caused by spices.2 Spices have the potential for being hidden food allergens.3 The allergenic proteins in spices are not well characterized, and commercial skin test extracts are not available, limiting widespread clinical testing. For these reasons, spice allergy is likely underdiagnosed. Common spices that are reported to cause allergies include mustard, coriander or cilantro, fennel, saffron, parsley, and cumin.

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 6698: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal and Mosquito Larvicidal Activities of Allspice (Pimenta dioica) Essential Oil
a Barcelo Essential oils are biologically and environmentally safe pesticidal compounds yielded from aromatic plants. Spices are important sources of essential oils, and they are widely used in the medicine, food, and various other industries. Among the different spices, Allspice (Pimenta dioica) is underexplored in terms of its biological efficacy and a limited number of studies are available on the chemical composition of Allspice essential oil (AEO); thus, the present study evaluated the larvicidal property, the repellency, and the fumigant toxicity against common pests of stored products of AEO. AEO was found to in...
