Khellin is an extract from the Mediterranean khella plant that is thought to stimulate melanocyte proliferation and melanogenesis.
[7] Novel systemic therapies like L-phenylalanine, Polypodium leucotomos,
Khellin, Ginkgo biloba, vitamins B12, C, E, folic acid and zinc have also been found to be effective.
Several of this benzofurans are bergapten, nodakenetin xanthotoxin and
khellin.
It has been documented that 38 medicinal plants including Ammi visnaga have natural calcium channel blocker.2
Khellin and visnagin were identified from Ammi visnaga fruit and were proved that all of them have calcium channel blocking mode of action.3
Therapy of heart disease with
khellin, with special reference to the khellinstrophanthin.
It was the aim of our study to evaluate the effect of a Khella extract (KE) as well as the two major constituents
khellin and visnagin on renal epithelial injury using LLC-PK1 and Madin-Darby-canine kidney (MDCK) cells.
Conventional antiasthmatic compounds, such as sodium cromolyn and sodium cromoglycate, were developed from analogs of the naturally occurring furanochromone
khellin (visammin), found in the Asian plant Ammi visnaga.
