Schistosomiasis affects million people and its control is widely dependent on a single drug, praziquantel. Computational chemistry has led to the development of new tools that predict molecular properties related pharmacological potential. We conducted theoretical study imizadole alkaloids Pilocarpus microphyllus (Rutaceae) with schistosomicidal properties. The molecules epiisopiloturine, epiisopilosine, isopilosine, pilosine, macaubine were evaluated using theory models (B3lyp/SDD,...
The world is currently facing the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. causing death of people around world, and public social health measures to slow or prevent spread are being implemented with involvement all members society. Research institutions accelerating discovery vaccines therapies for COVID-19. In this work, molecular docking was used study (in silico) interaction 24 ligands, divided into four groups, receptors, Nsp9 replicase, main protease (Mpro), NSP15...
The stingless bee, Melipona fasciculata Smith (Apidae, Meliponini), is a native species from Brazil. Their products have high biotechnological potential, however there are no studies about the biological activities of pollen collected by M. fasciculata. In this context, present study investigated chemical composition, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic hydroethanolic extracts in three cities Maranhão State, We verified antioxidant activity inhibitory against cyclooxygenase enzyme...
Borreria verticillata (L.) G. Mey. known vassourinha has antibacterial, antimalarial, hepatoprotective, antioxidative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, however, its antinociceptive action requires further studies. Aim of the study evaluated activity B. hydroalcoholic extract (EHBv) ethyl acetate fraction (FAc) by in vivo silico In assessment included paw edema test, writhing formalin test tail flick test. Wistar rats Swiss mice were divided into 6 groups given following treatments oral: 0.9%...
Chagas disease is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, in which conventional treatment based on medications such as benznidazole and nifurtimox, have limitations, side effects resistance. Thus, some metallopharmaceuticals been studied potential therapeutic agents, this sense, present silico study predicts interaction capacity of Ru(II) complexes formed with jaborandi alkaloid ligands, against sterol 14α-demethylase cruzain proteases. The physicochemical...
The disease outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to rise worldwide, even in countries which have considered it controlled. As new cases appear daily, infecting millions of people and causing thousands deaths, the current silico study aims investigate imidazolic alkaloids species Pilocarpus microphyllus (Jaborandi) as a potential inhibitory activity against Mpro protease from SARS-CoV-2, since plays fundamental role processing polyproteins that are translated viral RNA. Jaborandi is...
The development of new drugs through studies candidate molecules is a complex undertaking; however, computational or in silico approaches aimed at optimizing with greater potential are being utilized for predictions pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) well toxicological parameters. objective this study was to examine vivo the chemical constituents present essential oil Croton heliotropiifolius Kunth leaves. following Pubchem platform...
Certain viruses have the ability to subvert mammalian immune response, including interference in chemokine system. Poxviruses produce binding protein vCCI (viral CC inhibitor; also called 35K), which tightly binds chemokines. To facilitate study of vCCI, we first provide a protocol folded from Escherichia coli (E. coli.) It is shown here that with unusually high affinity viral Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-II (vMIP-II), analog produced by virus, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Fluorescence...
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan transmitted by the insect Triatoma infestans, popularly known as kissing bug. This causes Chagas disease, Neglected Tropical Disease. study aimed to investigate, through DFT method and B3LYP hybrid functional, physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic properties of alkaloids present in leaves species Pilocarpus microphyllus (jaborandi) potential inhibitory activity on protease sterol 14α-demethylase T. associated with techniques molecular docking,...
Transgenic maize produced by the insertion of Cry transgene into its genome became second most cultivated crop worldwide. gene from Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki expresses protein derivatives crystalline endotoxins which confer insect resistance onto crop. Mandatory labeling processed food containing or made genetically modified organisms is in force many countries, so, it very urgent to develop fast and practical methods for GMO identification, example, biosensors. In absence an available...
The use of natural products has been gaining a lot attention in recent years, among them organic honey, with its high phenolic content, great potential fighting diseases. Aroeira-do-Sertão (Astronium urundeuva) is tree that, when it blooms, pollinated by bees and produces honey rich nutrients that widely used the population to treat flu other symptoms. Leprosy tuberculosis are two main neglected diseases occur frequently underdeveloped countries, where large part vulnerable contagion...
In organic-rich mudrocks, intervals with the highest pore pressure are prime production targets due to their association high hydrocarbon content and elevated productivity. However, these zones pose substantial operational risks. As approaches confining pressure, smaller differences between maximum minimum effective pressures required for faulting occur, regardless of stress regime. Consequently, minor perturbations caused by hydraulic stimulation can trigger slippage in pre-existing cracks...
The world is currently facing the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. causing death of people around and public social health measures to slow or prevent spread are being implemented with involvement all members society. Research institutions accelerating discovery vaccines therapies for COVID-19. In this work, molecular docking was used study (in silico) interaction twenty-four ligands, divided into four groups, important receptors. results showed that Metaquine (group 01),...
