Twenty one phenylpropanoids (including eugenol and safrole) synthetic analogues, thirteen of them new compounds, were evaluated for antifungal properties, first with non-targeted assays against a panel human opportunistic pathogenic fungi. Some structure-activity relationships could be observed, mainly related to the influence an allyl substituent at C-4, OH group C-1 OCH3 C-2 or presence two NO2 groups in different positions benzene ring. All active compounds tested second clinical isolates...

Fungi are the primary infectious agents in plants causing significant economic losses agroindustry. Traditionally, these pathogens have been treated with different synthetic fungicides such as hydroxianilides, anilinopyrimidines, and azoles, to name a few. However, indiscriminate use of chemicals has increased fungi resistance plants. Natural products researched control, an alternative since they not harmful health contribute environment caring. This review describes extracts, essential...

Tail regeneration in Xenopus tadpoles is a favorable model system to understand the molecular and cellular basis of tissue regeneration. Although turnover extracellular matrix (ECM) key event during injury repair, no functional studies evaluate its role appendage have been performed. Studying Hyaluronan(HA), an ECM component, particularly attractive because it can activate intracellular signaling cascades after injury. Here we studied function HA components pathway tadpole tail We found that...

Toxicity and antioxidant capacity of eugenol derivatives (E2 = 2-Methoxy-4-[1-propenylphenyl]acetate, E3 4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenylacetate, E4 4-Allyl-2-methoxy-4-nitrophenol, E5 5-Allyl-3-nitrobenzene-1,2-diol, E6 4-Allyl-2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl acetate) were evaluated in order to determine the influence sustituents. E2-E6 synthesized from (E1). E1 was extracted cloves oil, obtained through acetylation nitration reactions. Antioxidant by DPPH (1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil) ORAC fluorescein...

Syndecan 4 (Sdc4) is a cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) that regulates gastrulation, neural tube closure and directed crest migration in Xenopus development. To determine whether Sdc4 participates Wnt/PCP signaling during mouse development, we evaluated possible interaction between null mutation of the loop-tail allele Vangl2. expressed multiple tissues, but particularly non-neural ectoderm, hindgut otic vesicles. Sdc4;Vangl2Lp compound mutant mice have defective spinal...

Dynamic regulation of cell adhesion receptors is required for proper migration in embryogenesis, tissue repair, and cancer. Integrins Syndecan4 (SDC4) are the main involved focal formation migration. SDC4 interacts biochemically functionally with components Wnt pathway such as Frizzled7 Dishevelled. Non-canonical signaling, particularly planar polarity branch, controls embryogenesis metastatic events. Here, we evaluate effect this on SDC4. We have found that Wnt5a reduces surface levels...

Twelve drimanes, including polygodial (1), isopolygodial (2), drimenol (3), confertifolin (4), and isodrimenin (5), were obtained from natural sources. Semi-synthetic derivatives 6–12 1 2, cytotoxic activity was evaluated in vitro against cancer cell lines (HT-29, MDA-MB231, DHF, MCF-7, PC-3, DU-145, CoN). IC50 values determined at concentrations of 12.5–100 µM each compound for 72 h. In addition, it found that 8, 12 induced changes mitochondrial membrane permeability CoN, PC-3 cells.

Polyamide 6,12 crystalline fibers, commercially known as Nylon 6,12, were irradiated using gamma radiation and characterised by Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The analysis of the data, Flory's Theory principles Compton effect, allowed establishment a reaction mechanism to explain how polyamide chains are modified.

The synthesis of twenty six prenylated phenols derivatives is reported. These compounds were obtained under mild conditions via Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) coupling reactions between phenol containing electron-donor subtituents and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol using BF3×OEt2. Dialkylations also produced with this method. formation a chroman ring by intramolecular cyclization sp2 carbon from the prenyl group hydroxyl substituent in ortho position occurred some phenols. All synthesized...

Abstract Hedgehog (Hh) proteins are morphogens involved in short‐ and long‐range effects during early embryonic development. Genetic analysis fly vertebrate embryos showed that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) required for Hh transport signaling. To further understand how HSPGs regulate Sonic hedgehog (Shh), we performed experiments using cell culture biochemical assays. When the synthesis of was reduced, a decrease Shh activity observed. Contrary to that, addition peptide competes...

Proliferation and cell fate determination in the developing embryo are extrinsically regulated by multiple interactions among diverse secreted factors, such as Sonic Hedgehog (SHh), which act a concentration-dependent manner. The fact that SHh is lipid-modified protein suggests existence of mechanism to regulate its movement across embryonic fields. We have previously shown heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) required for binding signalling. However, it was not determined specific HSPG...
