Complementary medicines used in ulcerative colitis and unintended interactions with cytochrome P450-dependent drug-metabolizing enzymes
Turk J Med Sci. 2022 Oct;52(5):1425-1447. doi: 10.55730/1300-0144.5482. Epub 2022 Oct 19.ABSTRACTUlcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease with multiple genetic and a variety of environmental risk factors. Although current drugs significantly aid in controlling the disease, many people have led to the application of complementary therapies due to the common belief that they are natural and safe, as well as due to the consideration of the side effect of current drugs. Curcumin, cannabinoids, wheatgrass, Boswellia, wormwood and Aloe vera are among the most commonly used complementary medicines in...

Cytogenetic and genomic characterization of a novel tall wheatgrass-derived Fhb7 allele integrated into wheat B genome
Theor Appl Genet. 2022 Oct 6. doi: 10.1007/s00122-022-04228-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe identified and integrated the novel FHB-resistant Fhb7The2 allele into wheat B genome and made it usable in both common and durum wheat breeding programs without yellow flour linkage drag. A novel tall wheatgrass-derived (Thinopyrum elongatum, genome EE) Fhb7 allele, designated Fhb7The2, was identified and integrated into the wheat B genome through a small 7B-7E translocation (7BS·7BL-7EL) involving the terminal regions of the long arms. Fhb7The2 conditions significant Type II resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. ...

Synergistic Effect of Conventional Medicinal Herbs against Different Pharmacological Activity
Biomed Res Int. 2022 Jun 29;2022:7337261. doi: 10.1155/2022/7337261. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTTriticum aestivum (Family: Poaceae), Ocimum sanctum (Family: Lamiaceae), and Tinospora cordifolia (Family: Menispermaceae) are commonly known as wheatgrass, tulsi, and giloy, respectively, which are the plants used as medicines for the treatment of various diseases. All three medicinal plants possess phenolic compounds with other important chemical constituents such as polysaccharides, aliphatic compounds, and alkaloids. The extract of these plants has been prepared and investigated for antioxidant, total phenolic content, total f...
