Harmine’s wide range of pharmacological properties has been well-documented as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-depressant, and antimicrobial. Although reported data suggests a multifunctional pharmacological role of harmine but farther experimentation on its molecular mechanism of action, synthetic chemistry approaches, and preclinical studies are yet obligatory to fully uncover its pharmacological efficacy.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology}, author={Javeed, Maria and Rasul, Azhar and Hussain, Ghulam and Jabeen, Farhat and Rasool, Bilal and Riaz, Ammara and Kaukab, Ghazala and Ali, Muhammad}, year={2018}, month={Jul.}, pages={203–213} }
