The SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is mainly mediated by the interactions between viral spike protein (S) and ACE-2 cell receptor, which are highly glycosylated. Therefore, carbohydrate binding agents may represent potential candidates to abrogate virus infection. Here, we evaluated in vitro anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of two mannose-binding lectins isolated from Brazilian plants Canavalia brasiliensis Dioclea violacea (ConBR DVL). These inhibited Wuhan-Hu-1 strain variants Gamma Omicron...
Plants respond to wounding caused by mechanical stress or herbivory synthesizing defense proteins. There are no studies reporting the action of induced plant proteins against ticks. The aim this study was investigate effect mechanically wounded Leucaena leucocephala leaves Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Initially, we carried out time course experiments evaluate impact on protein content and peroxidase, catalase protease inhibitor activities in L. leucocephala. We then evaluated...
Lectinas de origem vegetal têm ganhado destaque como compostos imunomoduladores e cicatrizantes, um exemplo é a proteína extraída Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr). A ausência informações relacionadas ação ConBr em feridas infectadas estimulou esta pesquisa. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos terapêuticos da lectina lesões cutâneas por Staphylococcus aureus. As experimentais foram induzidas no dorso camundongos Swiss, processo infeccioso provocado pela adição...
