Natural Products as a Source for Treating Neglected Parasitic Diseases
Infectious diseases caused by parasites are a major threat for the entire mankind, especially in the tropics. More than 1 billion people world-wide are directly exposed to tropical parasites such as the causative agents of trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis, which represent a major health problem, particularly in impecunious areas. Unlike mo...
متن کاملMarine microbiome as source of natural products
Less than 1% of living microorganisms can be cultured in the laboratory, but even this minute part has produced incredible discoveries such as antibiotics that have saved millions of lifes. We can only imagine what other great inventions will come to light when the rest of this enormous universe of living genomes is awakened. Everything is recorded in the genes, and modern metagenomic studies, ...
متن کاملNovel delivery system for natural products: Nano-curcumin formulations
Objective: Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. Curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (DNA) and messengers (RNA). A wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...
متن کاملNatural products: a continuing source of novel drug leads.
BACKGROUND Nature has been a source of medicinal products for millennia, with many useful drugs developed from plant sources. Following discovery of the penicillins, drug discovery from microbial sources occurred and diving techniques in the 1970s opened the seas. Combinatorial chemistry (late 1980s), shifted the focus of drug discovery efforts from Nature to the laboratory bench. SCOPE OF RE...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for Direct Preparation of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles from natural source using Microwave
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most common biocompatible ceramic with wide usages in various aspects of medicine due to the resemblance to the mineral bone tissue. The particle size of HA has a key roll in determination of the reaction rate at the interface of natural bones/artificial. Accordingly, this paper tries to propose a novel approach for the preparation of HA nanoparticles from natu...
