1. Natural and Semisynthetic Triterpenes from Combretum leprosum Mart. with Antiplasmodial Activity
Malaria is responsible for thousands of deaths each year. Currently, artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) is used as first-choice medication against the disease. However, the emergence of resistant strains prompts the search for alternative compounds. The present study aimed to investigate the antiplasmodial activities of natural triterpenes (compounds 1 an

2. Novel Insecticides from Alkylated and Acylated Derivatives of Thymol and Eugenol for the Control of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
Plutella xylostella cause considerable harm to the production of broccoli, Chinese cabbage, cabbage and cauliflower. The control of P. xylostella is mainly performed using commercial insecticides, which have even led to the emergence of resistant populations. Two easily available natural products found in different plants essential oil, thymol and eugenol, s

3. Absolute Configuration Reassignment of Natural Products: An Overview of the Last Decade
The assignment of absolute configuration (AC) is a crucial step in the structural characterization of natural products, especially for those subjected to biological assays. Methods such as X-ray crystallography, stereocontrolled organic synthesis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and chiroptical spectroscopies are commonly used to determine the AC of chiral

4. OTIMIZAÇÃO E VALIDAÇÃO DE MÉTODO ENZIMÁTICO SEMIQUANTITATIVO SIMPLES E DE BAIXO CUSTO PARA A BUSCA DE INIBIDORES DE CISTEINO PROTEASES
Cysteine proteases are an important class of enzymes involved in several essential biological processes. For this reason, these enzymes are important therapeutic targets, and therefore can be used in enzymatic assays for the search of hits. The most widely used methods in the search of enzyme inhibitors are spectrophotometric, however they have relatively hi

6. Mucuna pruriens fiber: nutritional, functional and biological properties
Abstract An evaluation was done of the nutritional, functional and antioxidant properties of fiber residues from Mucuna pruriens bean. Nutritional value was quantified in terms of proximate composition, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and the Van Soest fiber components. Functional value was assayed by mea

8. Phytochemical Analysis, Multi-Element Composition and Biological Activities of Extracts and Lupenone from Albizia inundata (Mart.) Barneby & J.W.Grimes
In this study, antimicrobial activity of extracts and lupenone from A. inundata (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae), were tested. In addition, the multi-element composition of the leaves, bark and stems (heartwood) of A. inundata was evaluated using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Lupenone was isolated in the petroleum ether extract o

9. PADRONIZAÇÃO DA QUANTIFICAÇÃO DE GLUTATIONA REDUTASE EM Aegla singularis (ANOMURA, CRUSTACEA) UTILIZANDO PLANEJAMENTO EXPERIMENTAL DCCR
Glutathione Reductase (GR) plays a key role in the maintenance of GSH homeostasis, variations in its activity may indicate damage from environmental contaminants. Experimental planning is a strategy to reduces time and cost in enzymatic assays. In this work, DCCR experimental planning was used to standardize and to validate the measure of GR in Aegla singula

10. Upconversion 3D Printed Composite with Multifunctional Applications for Tissue Engineering and Photodynamic Therapy
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are suitable materials for bioapplications due to their ability to emit visible light under near infrared (NIR) excitation, in the biological transparency range. Polycaprolactone(PCL)-based scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering in combination with inorganic compounds to improve bioactivity and osteoconductive prop

11. Laboratory investigations in the diagnosis and follow-up of GH-related disorders
ABSTRACT In addition to auxiological, clinical and metabolic features measurements of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) complement our tools in diagnosis and follow-up of GH-related disorders. While comparably robust during the pre-analytical phase, measurement and interpretation of concentrations of both hormones can be challengin
