Naturally occurring antinociceptive substances from plants.
Despite the progress that has occurred in recent years in the development of therapy, there is still a need for effective and potent analgesics, especially for the treatment of chronic pain. One of the most important analgesic drugs employed in clinical practice today continues to be the alkaloid morphine. In this review, emphasis will be given to the important contribution and the history of P...
متن کاملNaturally occurring substances and their role in chemo-protective effects.
Cancer chemoprevention is defined as the use of natural, synthetic or biological chemical agents to reverse, suppress or prevent carcinogenic progression of invasive cancer. Carcinogenesis is a complex multi-step process; therefore, it is necessary to attack cell proliferation, stimulate apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis. There have been more than 60 randomised trials using chemopreventive pot...
متن کاملA comparison of molecular markers to detect Lutzomyia longipalpis naturally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum
The aim of the present study was to detect natural infection by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Lutzomyia longipalpis captured in Barcarena, state of Pará, Brazil, through the use of three primer sets. With this approach, it is unnecessary to previously dissect the sandfly specimens. DNA of 280 Lu. longipalpis female specimens were extracted from the whole insects. PCR primers for kinetopla...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization of P4 Nuclease from Leishmania infantum
Parasite of the genus Leishmania is reliant on the salvage pathway for recycling of ribonucleotides. A class I nuclease enzyme also known as P4 nuclease is involved in salvage of purines in cutaneous Leishmania species but the relevant enzymes have not been characterized in Leishmania infantum (L. infantum). The aim of this study was to clone and characterize the gene encoding class I nuclease ...
متن کاملThermodynamic characterization of naturally occurring RNA tetraloops.
Although tetraloops are one of the most frequently occurring secondary structure motifs in RNA, less than one-third of the 30 most frequently occurring RNA tetraloops have been thermodynamically characterized. Therefore, 24 stem-loop sequences containing common tetraloops were optically melted, and the thermodynamic parameters DeltaH degrees , DeltaS degrees , DeltaG degrees (37,) and T(M) for ...
