High impact information on Coriandrum

• Petroselinic acid (18:1 delta6) is the major component of the seed oil of Umbelliferae species such as coriander (Coriandrum sativum) as well as Araliaceae and Garryaceae species [1].
• Earlier feeding studies of rats revealed that petroselinic acid [18:1(n-12)] from triacylglycerols of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) oil is extensively incorporated into the lipids of heart and liver and metabolized via beta-oxidation and chain elongation [2].
• From the water-soluble portion of the methanol extract of coriander (fruit of Coriandrum sativum L.), which has been used as a spice and medicine since antiquity, 33 compounds, including two new monoterpenoids, four new monoterpenoid glycosides, two new monoterpenoid glucoside sulfates and two new aromatic compound glycosides were obtained [3].
• Gelatin gel treatments were also conducted with 1.4% monolaurin with or without 6% cilantro oil to determine if an interaction between the antimicrobials could increase inhibition of L. monocytogenes [4].
• Inhibitory effects of essential oils of oregano (Origanum vulgare), mint (Menta arvensis), basil (Ocimum basilicum), sage (Salvia officinalis) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum), on the mycelial growth and ochratoxin A production by Aspergillus ochraceus NRRL 3174 were studied [5].

Associations of Coriandrum with chemical compounds

• Removal and preconcentration of inorganic and methyl mercury from aqueous media using a sorbent prepared from the plant Coriandrum sativum [6].
• Hypolipidemic effect of Coriandrum sativum L. in triton-induced hyperlipidemic rats [7].
• The highest protecting effect, corresponding to a 90% drop in hexanal release, was observed for cilantro oil at 10 g L-1 [8].
• These results suggest that the aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum seed has anxiolytic effect and may have potential sedative and muscle relaxant effects [9].
• The effect of the administration of coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum) on the metabolism of lipids was studied in rats fed a high fat diet with added cholesterol [10].

Gene context of Coriandrum

• Genomic structures and characterization of the 5'-flanking regions of acyl carrier protein and Delta4-palmitoyl-ACP desaturase genes from Coriandrum sativum [11].
• Based on Bi-Digital O-Ring Test findings two new antibiotics (cefadroxil and imipenen), were added to metronidazol and additional cilantro tablets by Hayashibara, Japan was given, and Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method performed, with excellent clinical, laboratory testing and tomography improvement within 10 days [12].
• Method development, validation, and analysis of bifenthrin residues in fresh and dry cilantro foliages and cilantro seeds using GC-ECD [13].
• A cDNA for the oleoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (E.C. 3.1.2.14) from coriander seed endosperm (Coriandrum sativum) was isolated using a safflower oleoyl-ACP thioesterase cDNA probe [14].
• A highly embryogenic callus was obtained from hypocotyl segments of Coriandrum sativum L. when cultured in the medium consisting of MS + H vitamins (MSH) [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Coriandrum

• In the spring of 1995, use of Chinese parsley for successful elimination of Hg deposits existing in various organs of the first author as the result of the decay of radioactive Thallium 201 injected for cardiac SPECT, was accidentally discovered after eating Vietnamese soup, which happened to contain Chinese parsley, also called cilantro [16].
