1. ASSESSMENT OF α-AMYLASE INHIBITION ACTIVITY BY AN OPTIMIZED AND VALIDATED IN VITRO MICROSCALE METHOD
Metabolic disorders, including hyperglycemia, characterize type-2 diabetes. One of the treatment methods used for postprandial hyperglycemia includes using potential therapeutic agents to inhibit α-amylase activity. This study utilized fractional design and the simplex method to optimize in vitro microscale assay inhibition conditions using Miller’s react

2. Discovery of Thiopyrimidinone Derivatives as a New Class of Human Aldose Reductase Inhibitors
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insufficient insulin production, the cells’ inability to use this insulin, or a combination of both, leading to secondary complications such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. One way to prevent or control such complications is the use of aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors. In this work, we synth

3. In vitro Antioxidant and Anticholinesterase Activities of Ouratea fieldingiana (Gardner) Eng. Leaf Extract and Correlation with Its Phenolics Profile with an in silico Study in Relation to Alzheimer’s Disease
Ouratea fieldingiana is a native medicinal plant from Northeastern Brazil and many biological properties are due to the phenolic constituents. The objective of this work was performing the characterization of O. fieldingiana leaf constituents to correlate with antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities by in vitro and in silico studies and thus contribute

4. Inhibitory effects of L-3-phenyllacitc acid on the activity of mushnroom pholyphenol oxidase
Abstract Polyphenol oxidase is the popular enzyme involved in fruit-vegetable browning and melanin synthesis. In the present paper, L-3-phenyllactic acid, a natural bacteriostatic substance, was investigated as an inhibitor of polyphenol oxidase. The results were demonstrated that the residual enzyme activity of polyphenol oxidase decreased gradually with th

5. Obesity-associated Pathways of Anthocyanins
Abstract Anthocyanins have a great potential for human health, as a sub-group of phenolic compounds. Interactions of anthocyanin involved in digestion and thus in obesity consist of inhibition of pancreatic lipase, regulation of lipolysis and lipogenesis, activation of an activated protein kinase enzyme, controlling of digestion hormones (leptin, insulin, gh

6. Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase by Coumarin-Linked Amino Acids Synthetized via Triazole Associated with Molecule Partition Coefficient
A previous study for the identification of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors demonstrated that the hybrid between tyrosol, the 1,2,3-triazole nucleus, and the coumarin group, namely 7-({1-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (10), has a high enzyme inhibitory activity. Here, we synthesized analogues of 10 v

7. New Synthetic Quinolines as Cathepsin K Inhibitors
Cathepsin K is a papain-like cysteine protease and is responsible for collagen degradation in bone tissue and thus represents an important target for the development of new therapies for treating diseases such as osteoporosis. Quinolines are an important class of heterocyclic molecular leads with a great pharmacological potential and represent a relevant sca

8. Serotonin syndrome associated with methadone and milk thistle seeds: a case report
Abstract Background Serotonin syndrome is rarely, potentially life threatening condition, associated with use of serotonin acting medications and psychoactive drugs. In the majority of cases the symptoms occur soon after the initiation of a new drug or a change in the dose. Objective To present a case report and to describe the possible mechanism of deve

9. An Expedient Synthesis of Tacrine-Squaric Hybrids as Potent, Selective and Dual-Binding Cholinesterase Inhibitors
The restoration of acetylcholine levels in the brain by inhibition of cholinesterases is currently the most successful therapeutic strategy to treat neurodegenerative disorders. In this context, tacrine has been largely investigated as a starting scaffold for the development of promising new anticholinesterases compounds for the treatment of neurodegenerativ

10. Imobilização enzimática: conceito e efeitos na proteólise
In recent years, great advances have been observed in the proteomic area regarding the different approaches adopted as top-down, middle-down and bottom-up. Regarding middle-down and bottom-up approaches, a previous step for protein digestion is necessary for further analysis of the generated peptides. Classical digestion protocols employing proteases are usu

11. Anti-Helicobacter pylori and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Eugenia uniflora L.
Abstract Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that reaches half of the world population and it’s recognized as the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. In this study, we evaluated the anti-H. pylori, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities of the methanolic (MeOH) extract of Eugenia uniflora leaves and chemical profile. Anti-H. pylori activi

12. Biocidal potential of Eugenia pyriformis essential oil in the control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in the free-living cycle
RESUMO: O Brasil dispõe de um dos maiores rebanhos bovinos comerciais do mundo, sendo natural que junto a esse rebanho, coexista uma enorme quantidade de espécies parasitárias; dentre estes o carrapato Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus que interfere na produtividade animal, causando prejuízos à pecuária de corte e leite. A utilização de acaricidas
