3. Oxalate-rich foods
Abstract The intake of large amounts of the antinutrient oxalate can induce hyperoxaluria, an important risk factor for the development of calcium oxalate stones. The soluble and total oxalate concentrations of plants of the Fabaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Malvaceae families were determined using an HPLC-enzyme-reactor method. Sweet potato is a species of the

4. A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS CUMARINAS PARA A QUÍMICA MEDICINAL E O DESENVOLVIMENTO DE COMPOSTOS BIOATIVOS NOS ÚLTIMOS ANOS
Coumarins are natural products characterized as 2H-chromen-2-one, according to IUPAC nomenclature, largely distributed in plants, as well as, in species of fungi and bacteria. Nowadays, many synthetic procedures allow the discovery of coumarins with expanded chemical space. The ability to exert non-covalent interactions with many enzymes and receptors in liv

5. Functional properties and Bioactivities of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry plant: a review
Abstract In treating various diseases, natural therapies are widely preferred in the modern era to synthetic drugs as they offer little or no side effects, in contrast to synthetic drugs. However, there is limited scientific knowledge about plants that have a broad range of medicinal properties. Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala, native to Thailand and gene

6. ANTIPROMASTIGOTE AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF FLAVONOIDS FROM Fridericia speciosa LEAVES
Fridericia speciosa (Bignoniaceae) is a liana that occurs in humid to dry vegetation in eastern and southeastern Brazil. Species belonging to the genus Fridericia are employed as medicinal plants. This study evaluates the antipromastigote and cytotoxic activities of the crude extract, fractions, and compounds isolated from F. speciosa, and an HPLC (High-Perf

7. What are the drivers of popularity and versatility of medicinal plants in local medical systems?
ABSTRACT The cultural importance of medicinal plants has been measured in terms of popularity (number of people who know a plant) and versatility (number of therapeutic indications mentioned for a plant). Previous works have provided evidence about some drivers of medicinal plant importance, such as attributes of availability, efficiency, palatability and ta

8. Does an urban environment affect leaf structure of Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae)?
ABSTRACT External factors can interfere with the structure and biological activity of plants. Nevertheless, the susceptibility of plants to specific environmental conditions varies, which raises many questions about the behavior of medicinal plants when grown in urban areas. This study aims to detect possible changes induced by exposure of Eugenia uniflora L

9. Antifungal activity of selected plant extracts based on an ethnodirected study
ABSTRACT Plants have been reported as used by local populations to treat various infections for a long time, which has directed several pharmacological studies. The main aim of this work was to evaluate three plant selection criteria with better predictive power to detect extracts with antifungal action: (1) medicinal plants that are not used for indications

10. Rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of Rhodiola rosea leaf explants
ABSTRACT Rhodiola rosea L. is an endangered medicinal plant distributed in mountains and in high latitude regions. For its conservation, sustainable methods for the obtaining of its bioactive compounds must be developed. This work hypothesized that leaf, stem and rhizome explants of R. rosea from different geographical origins respond differently to inoculat

11. A review on medicinal plants used for treating ototoxicity and acoustic trauma induced hearing loss
Hearing loss induced by chemotherapy and acoustic trauma is mainly associated with two factors, free radical formation and apoptosis pathway activation. Despite numerous efforts on reducing the effects of these factors, no definite strategy is still determined to interfere with and control these processes. In recent studies, various protective agents, includ

12. In Silico Target Identification and Validation for Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Selective Phytochemicals.
Abstract Phytochemicals present in plant extract include a number of biological active compounds which have shown promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in many animal studies. Present knowledge about the biochemical interactions of these compounds present in phytochemical extracts and target enzymes or proteins responsible for antioxidant an
