Insights into the Toxicological Properties of a Low Molecular Weight Fraction from Zoanthus sociatus (Cnidaria)
The phylum Cnidaria is an ancient group of venomous animals, specialized in the production and delivery of toxins. Many species belonging to the class Anthozoa have been studied and their venoms often contain a group of peptides, less than 10 kDa, that act upon ion channels. These peptides and their targets interact with high affinity producing neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects, and even death...
متن کاملMicrocystin-LR Detected in a Low Molecular Weight Fraction from a Crude Extract of Zoanthus sociatus
Cnidarian constitutes a great source of bioactive compounds. However, research involving peptides from organisms belonging to the order Zoanthidea has received very little attention, contrasting to the numerous studies of the order Actiniaria, from which hundreds of toxic peptides and proteins have been reported. In this work, we performed a mass spectrometry analysis of a low molecular weight ...
متن کاملEmerging insights into the biology of metastasis: A review article
Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, ...
متن کاملGenomic insights into the evolutionary origin of Myxozoa within Cnidaria.
The Myxozoa comprise over 2,000 species of microscopic obligate parasites that use both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts as part of their life cycle. Although the evolutionary origin of myxozoans has been elusive, a close relationship with cnidarians, a group that includes corals, sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydroids, is supported by some phylogenetic studies and the observation that the dist...
متن کاملAntimetastatic Properties of Low Molecular Weight Heparin.
TO THE EDITOR: The well-performed and important FRAGMATIC (Dalteparin in Preventing Blood Clots in Patients With Lung Cancer) trial reported by Macbeth et al concluded that the addition of prophylactic doses of the lowmolecular weight heparin (LMWH) dalteparin for 24 weeks to standard of care in patients with lung cancer did not improve overall survival; the rate of venous thromboembolism was s...
