Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioactivity of the Alkaloids, Norharman and L-N-Methylcrotonosine/LinearisineMargelette Ellis-Tabanor, Dwight Robinson, Eric HyslopThe toxic effects of the alkaloids, Norharman and a mixture of L-N-Methylcrotonosine/Linearisine (M/L mixture), on two organisms, Gambusia puncticulata and Veronicella sloanei were determined. The effect of the alkaloids on the fecundity of Thiara granifera was also investigated. Norharman was harmless to G. puncticulata but the M/L mixture inflicted 55.5% mortality on fish populations. The alkaloids had narcotizing, repellent and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Apr 2015 · 7,202 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction of an Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) Toothpaste to Combat Gum and Tooth PainMunashe K. F. Chakamanga, Ashley Kumalo K, Dirk Hamadziripi MGum inflammation also known as gingivitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of dental plaque that forms on teeth. The inflammation triggers pain in the gums and surrounding tissues due to increased blood flow and immune activity aimed at combating the bacterial infection. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of Yarrow-based toothpaste in reducing gum inflammation. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2026 · 420 accessesView PDF Cite
