Cannabis is one of Morocco’s top industries, and Morocco is one of the world’s top Cannabis providers, however, the growth, the development, deal, and utilization of Cannabis is especially unlawful under the present legislation. Morocco has one of the most stringent law enforcement systems, but it has not legalized, there are 3 possibilities. The first is a continuation of the present ambiguity; the second to legalize; and the third is to completely authorize the present laws, ending in elimination of the culture each of these ways would impact affect Morocco, both financially and socially The purpose of this article is to update the current regulations on the utilization of Cannabis for medical purposes in Europe and Morocco. Thus, the botanical aspect, the chemical composition of Cannabis sativa is approached. This article will not discuss the recreational use of Cannabis. The review is based on information gathered from previous reports and government...

In this study, fatty acid compositions of apricot kernel oils for cosmetic purpose were analyzed. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of fatty acids in apricot kernel oils were made by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In this analysis, apricot kernel oils -which trademarked Karden, Organix and Biovitals- supplied from a herbalist were used. The oils were converted to the methyl ester with KOH hydrolysis. Just after the derivatization process, the oils were analyzed by GC-MS. In conclusion, it was determined that these apricot kernel oils which belong to three different trademarks have a similar fatty acid profile, however, there was no specific standard between...

For a very long time, plants have been used worldwide as a natural medicine to treat human diseases, and it has been in many parts of the world, plants are used as a safe source of drugs to cure several diseases and conditions through complementary medicine system. In tropical Asia and Africa, Commelina benghalensis is a native plant and is known to have significant pharmacological activities. This plant has different groups of active biological compounds which provide C. benghalensis with such a wide range of pharmacological activities. C. benghalensis has been traditionally used for the treatment of many different diseases such as burns, leprosy, sore throat, pain and inflammations and also uses as an emollient, demulcent and laxative. Several research papers on the pharmacological, biological and isolation of metabolites and biologically active compounds of this plant have already been done worldwide. However, many areas of study for the complete evaluation of the therapeutic values of this plant still need to be conducted. This paper briefly reviews the pharmacological status...

Aim of this study was to generate a model of DHNA using protein sequence and homology modeling and then dock the modeled protein with an inhibitor. Molecular docking is a frequently used method in structure-based rational drug design. It is used for evaluating the complex formation of small ligands with large biomolecules, predicting the strength of the bonding forces and finding the best geometrical arrangements. For inhibition of final model built from the swiss model by using target sequence of DHNA from Shigella flexneri and template sequence from E. coli choose 4 types of ligand molecule in which 2 molecules (2-amino pyrimidine and neopterin) selected for docking with the help of Autodock Vina (software). And the final result is shown in docking result 1 and 2 respectively. Docking results shows mean binding energy -3.42 by neopterin and -2.77 by 2-amino, pyrimidine. Neopterin shows high mean binding energy in both of ligands so we can use neopterin as a strong inhibitor of...

Overexploitation of many traditional medicinal plants like Buchanania lanzan Spreng. has become a threat and shortly, many medicinal plants may be unavailable for use in the medicinal industry. The present study outlines the concept of plant part substitution. Stem bark and small branches of B. lanzan are compared based on physicochemical analysis, phytochemical analysis, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) to evaluate the possibilities of using small branches in place of stem bark. Results suggest that small branches of this plant may be recommended in place of its stem bark after comparison and confirmation of same for pharmacological activities. The study provides the base for further study to use small branches of B. lanzan Spreng. as a substitute for its stem...
