Furanochromone
Furanochromone is a chemical compound which is a derivative of chromone (1,4-benzopyrone) and furan. Some chemical derivatives of furanochromone show strong interaction with DNA. Furanochromones can be produced in callus cultures of ''Ammi visnaga'' or in ''Pimpinella monoica ''Pimpinella monoica'' is now listed as a synonym for ''Pimpinella wallichiana'' (Miq.)

Khellin
Khellin has been used as an herbal folk medicine, with use in the Mediterranean dating back to Ancient Egypt, to treat a variety of maladies including: renal colic, kidney stones, coronary disease, bronchial asthma, vitiligo, and psoriasis. It is a major constituent of the plant ''Ammi visnaga'', also known as Bishop's Weed. Once purified, khellin exists as colorless, odorless, bitter-tasting needle-shaped crystals and is classified as a gamma-pyrone, a furanochromone derivative. In the early 20th century, researchers searched for khellin analogs with lower toxicity and better efficacy. A number of drugs were discovered through this research, such as amiodarone and cromolyn sodium, which are used in current medical practice. Efloxate is also mentioned as analog. Background Khellin is found in Egypt, the Middle East, and areas surrounding the Mediterranean. It is a major constituent of the plant ''Ammi Visnaga'', existing between 0.3 and 1.2% in the leaves and seeds. Bishop's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Visnagin
Visnagin is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C13 H10 O4 It is a furanochromone, a compound derivative of chromone (1,4-benzopyrone) and furan. History ''Ammi visnaga'', the main source for visnagin, has been used in traditional medicine in the Middle East to ease urinary tract pain associated with kidney stones and to promote stone passage. Occurrences Visnagin naturally occurs in ''Ammi visnaga'', a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by many common names, including bisnaga, toothpickweed, and khella. Visnagin-containing khella seeds are usually found mainly in Middle East countries such as Egypt and Turkey and also in Northern African countries such as Morocco. Visnagin can be extracted directly from khella seeds. Synthesis Modified synthesis of the naturally occurring visnagin is reported. Starting from phloroghrcin aldehyde, and building on the 2-methyl-y-pyrone, 2-methyl-5,7-dihydroxy-dfo-yl-chromone was obtained. Construction of th ...

Taxa Named By Nicol Alexander Dalzell
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
