This paper shows that vasicine and derivatives have the following properties:
* Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
* Genoprotectivity (DNA protection)
* Hepatoprotective activity (liver protection)
* Antitussive and bronchodilatory activity
* Muscle stimulant activity (smooth muscle - uterus, trachea)
* Abortifacient activity (pregnant women beware!)
* Anti-diabetic activity
* Anticestodal activity (kills off intestinal parasites)
* Antileishmanial activity (protects against certain protozoa)
* Anti-helminthic activity (kills off parasitic worms)
* Anti-bacterial activity: anti-mycobacterial activity (https://www.anoniem.org/?http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21289439)
* Anti-ulcer activity

The recent study is titled ‘A high-throughput chemical screen reveals that harmine-mediated inhibition of DYRK1A increases human pancreatic beta cell replication’ (http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nm.3820.html). Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai screened over 100,000 potential drugs, and only harmine drove human insulin-producing beta cells to multiply. This could be a significant stepping stone in the treatment of diabetes, a disease that effects hundreds of thousands of people.
A summary of the study and comments by lead research Andrew Stewart, MD, can be found at Science Daily (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150309134629.htm).
