Marine cyanobacteria-derived serotonin receptor 2C active fraction induces psychoactive behavioral effects in mice
(2016-11-01)
Marine cyanobacteria offer a robust resource for natural products drug discovery due to the secondary metabolites they produce. Objective—To identify novel cyanobacterial compounds that exhibit CNS psychoactive effects. ...
Avian Mycobacteriosis in a Rescued Harpy Eagle from Darien Forest, Panama
(2019-11-08)
Background: The Harpy eagle (Harpia harpyia) is the largest raptor in the Neotropical region, distributed in low densities within primary forest habitats from southern Mexico to east-central Brazil, including Central America ...
Molecular Ecological Insights into Neotropical Bird–Tick Interactions
(2016-05-20)
In the tropics, ticks parasitize many classes of vertebrate hosts. However, because many tropical tick species are only identifiable in the adult stage, and these adults usually parasitize mammals, most attention on the ...

(2016-11-08)
Context—Marine cyanobacteria offer a robust resource for natural products drug discovery due to the secondary metabolites they produce.

Extracellular vesicles carrying lactate dehydrogenase induce suicide in increased population density of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro
(2019-03-25)
Even with access to sufficient nutrients and atmosphere, Plasmodium falciparum can barely be cultured at maximum growth capacity in vitro conditions. Because of this behavior, it has been suggested that P. falciparum has ...
Antiplasmodial activity of Cocos nucifera leaves in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice
(2020-03-09)
Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) malaria presents serious public health problems worldwide. The parasite s resistance to antimalarial drugs has proven to be a significant hurdle in the search for effective treatments ...
Recommendations of generic names in Diaporthales competing for protection or use.
(2015-06-04)
In advancing to one name for fungi, this paper treats generic names competing for use in the order Diaporthales (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes) and makes a recommendation for the use or protection of one generic name among ...
Assessment of Novel Curcumin Derivatives as Potent Inhibitors of Inflammation and Amyloid-β Aggregation in Alzheimer's Disease
(2017-01-01)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting the elderly population worldwide. Brain inflammation plays a key role in the progression of AD. Deposition of senile plaques in the brain ...
Antitrypanosomal Alkaloids from the Marine Bacterium Bacillus pumilus
(2012-09-18)
Fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract of the marine bacterium Bacillus pumilus isolated from the black coral Antipathes sp. led to the isolation of five compounds: cyclo-(L-Leu-L-Pro) (1), 3-hydroxyacetylindole (2), ...
Separation of Plasmodium falciparum Late Stage-infected Erythrocytes by Magnetic Means
(2013-02-20)
Unlike other Plasmodium species, P. falciparum can be cultured in the lab, which facilitates its study 1 . While the parasitemia achieved can reach the ≈40% limit, the investigator usually keeps the percentage at around ...
