  • From 1833 on, the Darmstadt company Merck produced atropine from the roots of the deadly nightshade. (zxc.wiki)
  • However, due to its toxic nature and adverse teratogenic effect, it is important to investigate the possible toxicity and safety level of belladonna mother tincture. (ijpsonline.com)
  • In this study, zebrafish embryos were used to evaluate fetal embryo toxicity of the belladonna mother tincture. (ijpsonline.com)
  • Briefly, eggs were exposed to different concentration (1, 5 and 10 %) of belladonna mother tincture and ethyl alcohol for 1 h. (ijpsonline.com)
  • Results showed that exposure to belladonna mother tincture at higher concentration (5, 10 %) cause embryonic malformation including pericardial edema, increase in body length, eye width and heart rate, while decrease hatching rate with no effect on mortality. (ijpsonline.com)
  • The behavioural parameters revealed that belladonna mother tincture increases the locomotor activity of larvae at its 1 % concentration rather than 5 and 10 % in comparison to control. (ijpsonline.com)
  • Further developmental toxicity studies on animals need to be carried out to validate use of belladonna mother tincture clinically in low concentration or high dilution.s. (ijpsonline.com)
  • From the leaves and herbs of belladonna (Folium et Herba Belladonnae), prepare tincture, thick and dry extracts, which are part of numerous medicines. (medprep.info)
  • The diversity of these alkaloids depends on which amino alcohol was formed in the process of biosynthesis from tropane (tropine, scopine or ecgonine) and with what organic acids these amino alcohols subsequently formed esters. (medprep.info)
  • Now a days, for scientific validation and global acceptance of homoeopathic drugs, in vitro as well as in vivo pharmacological evaluation of these drugs has been greatly increased[ 1 ]. (ijpsonline.com)
