1. Synthesis and Anti-Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Activity of Novel 1,4-Naphthoquinone Sulfonamide and Sulfonate Ester Derivatives
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging disease caused by an alphavirus of the Togaviridae family. Since its first description in 1952, the disease has spread worldwide, affecting populations in both tropical and temperate countries. To date, there is no licensed vaccine or specific pharmacological treatment. Therefore, there is an increasing urgency in d

2. Effect of Physical Training on Nitric Oxide Levels in Patients with Arterial Hypertension: An Integrative Review
Abstract The regular practice of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) has been encouraged due to causing a series of physiological responses in the cardiovascular system, such as the production of vasoactive substances, including nitric oxide (NO). NO is a relaxation factor released by the endothelium, and the de

3. Chemical Constituents and Cytotoxic Activity of Rhinella jimi (Anura: Bufonidae)
Rhinella jimi toads (Stevaux, 2002) belong to the Bufonidae family, are endemic in the Brazilian Northeast and are commonly found during rainy periods. In general, amphibians of this family have in their poisons different metabolites that show a diversity of pharmacological activities. The isolation and identification of these compounds are of great importan

4. Identification of Potential Human Protein Targets for Soybean Isoflavones
Soy isoflavones have been reported as endocrine disruptors due to their ability to modulate the activity of estrogen receptors (ERs) in mammals; however, its ability to modulate other metabolic pathways is not entirely clear, which makes it necessary to identify new pharmacological targets that interact with these compounds present in soybean. In this work,

5. Synthesis, in silico Study and Antimicrobial Activity of New Piperine Derivatives Containing Substituted δ-Esters
A series of fifteen new piperine-derived diesters was synthesized through the substitution reaction between the salt of piperic acid, obtained through piperine basic hydrolysis, with the δ-chloro-esters, obtained through the cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with acyl chlorides in the presence of ZnCl2. The final compounds were obtained with yields ranging

6. 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

7. 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

8. Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on Inclusion Complex β-Cyclodextrin and Sulcatone: A Cardiovascular Activity Evaluation
In this paper, we have applied state-of-the-art technologies and new investigations were developed focusing on obtaining simple and inexpensive molecules for treating cardiovascular diseases, as they are considered the leading cause of death in the world. For the first time, the inclusion complex of sulcatone (SU) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was achieved (us

9. Phytochemical screening and anti-implantation activity of Asparagus africanus root extract in female Sprague–Dawley rats
Abstract Asparagus africanus Lam., Asparagaceae, is used traditionally as medicinal plant for treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders and for birth related applications. This study aimed to evaluate anti-implantation potential, screening for bioactive phytochemicals and to determine its toxicity. Thirty healthy rats were distributed into five groups

10. Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect against splenocytes of Balb/c mice of biflorin obtained from Capraria biflora by a new isolation method
Abstract Biflorin (6,9-dimethyl-3-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl) benzo[de]chromene-7,8-dione) is a promising substance that has been increasingly studied in the past decades due to its diverse pharmacological properties (i.e. antitumor, antioxidant, antiinflamatory, antimicrobial activity etc.). Aiming the comprehension of its antitumoral activity we investigated

11. Chemical diversity and activity profiles of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors from plants
Abstract Current challenges to antiretroviral therapy have opened new vistas in the search for novel drugs from natural products. This review focusses on plants as sources of inhibitors for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase. Based on a systematic search of the literature, anti-HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity was recorded
