13. ELUCIDAÇÃO DA QUIRALIDADE INDUZIDA NA MOLÉCULA DANSILGLICINA NA COMPLEXAÇÃO COM A PROTEÍNA ALBUMINA DO SORO HUMANO (HSA)
Human serum albumin (HSA) plays an important role in the transport of a wide variety of substances, including compounds with pharmacological properties. The dansylglycine (DanG) is a fluorescent amino acid derivative specific for the site II of HSA. This work aimed to elucidate the induction of chirality in the DanG due to its bonding to the HSA. Theoretical

15. Synthesis, DNA Interaction and Genotoxic Evaluation of a Photoactive Benzothiadiazole with Potential Application in Photovoltaic Paint
A new fluorophore containing 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole unit with alkylated tetrazole terminal groups as electron donors connected through a π-conjugated system of the type (D-π-A-π-D) was synthesized using the Sonogashira coupling reaction with good yields. The genotoxicity of the two intermediate compounds and the final product was evaluated in vitro in con

16. Antimicrobial Diterpene from the Brazilian Termite Nasutitermes macrocephalus (Isoptera: Termitidae: Natutitermitinae)
Termites are insects with a complex social organization on castes among which soldiers are the only responsible for the colony defense. The soldiers of the Nasutitermes genus use chemical defense, which comprises a mixture of mono, sesqui and mainly diterpenes. The new diterpene 2b,3a-dihydroxy-trinervita-1(15),11-diene, found in Nasutitermes macrocephalus,

17. Isolation of biologically active peptides from the venom of Japanese carpenter bee, Xylocopa appendiculata
Abstract Background Mass spectrometry-guided venom peptide profiling is a powerful tool to explore novel substances from venomous animals in a highly sensitive manner. In this study, this peptide profiling approach is successfully applied to explore the venom peptides of a Japanese solitary carpenter bee, Xylocopa appendiculata (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Apida

18. Studies of the Interaction between BSA and a Plumeran Indole Alkaloid Isolated from the Stem Bark of Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon (Apocynaceae)
Binding between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a plumeran indole alkaloid (PIA) isolated from the stem bark of Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon (Apocynaceae) was studied by spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis absorption, circular dichroism, steady state and time-resolved fluorescence), combined with molecular docking. Steady state and time resolved fluorescence data

19. Ocellatin peptides from the skin secretion of the South American frog Leptodactylus labyrinthicus (Leptodactylidae): characterization, antimicrobial activities and membrane interactions
Abstract Background The availability of antimicrobial peptides from several different natural sources has opened an avenue for the discovery of new biologically active molecules. To the best of our knowledge, only two peptides isolated from the frog Leptodactylus labyrinthicus, namely pentadactylin and ocellatin-F1, have shown antimicrobial activities. The

20. A Study of the Interaction Between trans-Dehydrocrotonin, a Bioactive Natural 19-nor-Clerodane, and Serum Albumin
The interaction between 19-nor-clerodane trans-dehydrocrotonin (from Croton cajucara Benth.) and bovine serum albumin was studied, applying spectroscopic techniques (fluorescence and circular dichroism), combined with molecular modeling. Fluorescence quenching of albumin by the nor-clerodane (kq ca. 1011 mol L-1 s-1 and Stern-Volmer, KSV, increase with tempe

21. Study of the Mode of Inclusion for 7-Hydroxyflavone in β-Cyclodextrin Complexes
This paper aimed to study the mode of inclusion for 7-hydroxyflavone (7HF) in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) complex in basic (pH 12) and acid (pH 4.5) media. The thermodynamic parameters of the complexation of 7HF with β-CD were evaluated by means of steady-state fluorescence and solubility measurements at several temperatures. The 7HF-β-CD inclusion complex was

23. New insights into the structural characteristics of irradiated crotamine
Abstract Background: Since ionizing radiation has the potential to alter the molecular structure and affect the biologica properties of biomolecules, it has been successfully employed to attenuate animal toxins. The present study aimed to characterize the structural modifications on irradiated crotamine, a toxin from

24. Butyrolactones from the Endophytic Fungus Aspergillus versicolor and their Anti-Tobacco Mosaic Virus Activity
New butyrolactones aspernolides C and D, along with two known butyrolactones (A and B) were isolated from the culture of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus versicolor. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic ressonance techniques, and electronic circular dichroism. The butyrolacto
