Influence of Mitragyna ciliata (MYTA) on the microsomal activity of ATPase Na+/K+ dependent extract on a rabbit heart.
Mitragyna ciliata (MYTA) (Rubiaceae) inhibits plasmodia activity. MYTA induces a cardiotonicity of the digitalic type on rat's isolated heart. In this work we studied the effect of MYTA on microsomal Na(+)/K(+) dependant ATPase (Na(+), K(+) ATPase) extracted from the heart of a rabbit since digitalics inhibit Na(+), K(+) ATPase. Our results revealed that the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase has an optimum pH ...
متن کاملThe trypanocidal activity of naphthoquinones: a review.
Naphthoquinones are compounds present in several families of higher plants. Their molecular structures confer redox properties, and they are involved in multiple biological oxidative processes. In folk medicine, especially among Indian populations, plants containing naphthoquinones have been employed for the treatment of various diseases. The biological redox cycle of quinones can be initiated ...
متن کاملTrypanocidal Activity of Marine Natural Products
Marine natural products are a diverse, unique collection of compounds with immense therapeutic potential. This has resulted in these molecules being evaluated for a number of different disease indications including the neglected protozoan diseases, human African trypanosomiasis and Chagas disease, for which very few drugs are currently available. This article will review the marine natural prod...
متن کاملTrypanocidal activity of some endemic species of Satureja in Iran
Trypanosoma cruzi, a hemoflagellate protozoan (family Trypanosomatidae), is the ethiological agent of Chagas disease, which is affecting 16-18 million people, with more than 100 million exposed to the risk of infection. Higher plants are a potential source of new drugs to improve the treatment of Chagase disease. Until recently, Rutacea, Meliaceae, Simaroubaceae and Burceraceae families have be...
