2024-05-16
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Laboratory studies and traditional reports have linked Catha edulis (khat) to biopharmacological properties. This study aimed to assess the sedative effect of khat in mice and conduct computer-aided docking of GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors. Methods Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis confirmed the presence of cathinone and cathine, the active alkaloids, in...
