Harmine Has Nephroprotective Effect Against Methotrexate-Induced Injury in Mice via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress [PDF]
Background and objectives: Despite clinical use, the efficacy of methotrexate is often limited by some adverse effects, mainly nephrotoxicity. The most common mechanism of methotrexate-induced kidney damages is oxidative stress.

Measurement of Tau Protein and Aβ Amyloid Plaques in Postmortem Human Brains of Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease by Using [<sup>125</sup>I]IPPI and [<sup>125</sup>I]IBETA Autoradiography. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The accumulation of tau tangles and Aβ plaques are prominent neuropathologies that characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down syndrome (DS). Continuous developments of PET tracers as biomarkers can be supported by autoradiography to validate effectiveness and accuracy of binding properties that elucidate the pathophysiology of DSAD and AD.

Loading Harmine On Nanographene Changes The Inhibitory Effects of Free Harmine Against MCF7 and Fibroblast Cells [PDF]
Abstract Today cancer is one of the main causes of death all over the world. Chemotherapy, which is one of the main therapies in the treatment of cancer, causes several side effects by damaging healthy cells. Therefore, carbon nanomaterial systems have been developed to optimize therapeutics procedures with the least negative consequences ...

Harmine Derivatives as Anticancer Agents Endowed With Potent and Selective Antileukemia Activity: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, Proapoptotic and Genotoxic Activity. [PDF]
We identified a novel N9‐substituted harmine analog, compound 6, that selectively suppresses leukemic cell growth, triggers DNA damage, and activates apoptosis while sparing healthy fibroblasts. This discovery highlights N9‐modified β‐carbolines as a powerful new class of selective antileukemic agents, bridging natural product chemistry with next ...

Intra- and extra-cellular DNA damage by harmine and 9-methyl-harmine
It is known that β-carbolines are able to produce photosensitized damage in cell-free DNA, but there is little information on their effects on cellular DNA. Therefore, we have analyzed the DNA damage produced by harmine and 9-methyl-harmine under UVA irradiation in V79 cells, together with the associated generation of micronuclei and photocytotoxicity.
