H. brasiletto is used in popular culture due to its therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative although little known about role as a protector against metal toxicity. This study aimed investigate the chemical composition efficacy of hydroalcoholic extract from (HAE-Hbrasiletto) collected northern Colombia defend cadmium (Cd)-induced toxicity.Phytochemical characterization was performed using HPLC-ESI-QTOF. Caenorhabditis elegans employed assess...
Optical brighteners (OBs) have become an integral part of our daily lives and culture, with a growing number applications in various fields. Most industrially produced OBs are derived from stilbene, which has been found environmental matrices. The main objectives for this work as follows: first, to identify protein targets DAST, FB-28, FB-71, second, assess their effects some behaviors physiologic Caenorhabditis elegans. To achieve the first objective, each OB was tested against total 844...
Abstract Imposex is the development of male sexual characteristics caused by toxic effects some chemicals that acts as an endocrinal disruptor. Antifouling paints contain these chemicals. Cartagena lacks studies to indicate extent imposex in its coastal waters. The aim this study was determine prevalence gastropod Stramonita haemastoma Cartagena, Colombia. Specimens were collected during 2013 from locations high and low influence port activity. Morphometric measurements frequency occurrence...

This study records, for the first time in Colombian Caribbean region, presence of two global pollutants chiton Acanthopleura granulata (Mollusca: Polyplacophora): microplastics through passive bioadhesion mechanism and mercury bioaccumulation. Sampling was conducted around Cartagena Bay, on Castillogrande, an urban city beach, Playa Blanca (Baru), located within boundaries Corales del Rosario San Bernardo National Natural Park, during dry rainy seasons. Microplastic characteristics,...
Simira cordifolia (Hook.f.) Steyerm (Rubiaceae) is a vascular plant used in Northern Colombia as source of pigments and wood. However, there lack information regarding its pharmacology toxicity. This research aimed to study the hydroalcoholic extract protector against metal-induced toxicity Caenorhabditis elegans . Preliminary phytochemical screening S. (HAE-Sc) was conducted using HPLC-ESI-QTOF. Wild-type N2 C. larvae were exposed different concentrations HAE-Sc evaluating lethality...
