Animal toxins and their analgesic properties
One of the main problems in many diseases is pain which has soc ial, psychological and physical symptoms on patients. Due to the side effects of analgesic drugs, new effective compounds to reduce pain are needed. Ionic channels, acetylcholine and gamma aminobutyric acid receptors and molecules such as nitric oxide are involved in pain paths. Animal venoms contain small molecules with various p...
متن کاملPolyamines and plant alkaloids.
Naturally occurring alkaloids are nitrogenous compounds that constitute the pharmacogenically active basic principles of flowering plants. Alkaloids are classified into several biogenically related groups. Tobacco alkaloids are metabolised from polyamines and diamines putrescine and cadaverine. N-methyl transferase is the first enzyme in alkaloid biosynthetic pathway which drives the flow of ni...

متن کاملNatural Toxins in Plant Foodstuffs
Since food plants are mixtures of large numbers of chemical compounds and since any substance is toxic in a high enough dose, it is not surprising that natural food plants are toxic under certain conditions. Toxicity from common natural foods has resulted from long-term consumption of a single food item or from short periods of consumption of foods containing unusually high levels of a toxic su...
متن کاملInhibiting Microbial Toxins Using Plant-Derived Compounds and Plant Extracts
Many pathogenic bacteria and fungi produce potentially lethal toxins that cause cytotoxicity or impaired cellular function either at the site of colonization or other locations in the body through receptor-mediated interactions. Various factors, including biotic and abiotic environments, competing microbes, and chemical cues affect toxin expression in these pathogens. Recent work suggests that ...
