The aim of this study was to identify the chemical composition of the Piper arboreum Aubl. essential oil (EO), and to evaluate its inhibitory activity in vitro against the enzymes butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The EO was obtained by steam distillation of t...
Abstract The β-carboline-1,3,5-triazine hydrochlorides 8-13 were evaluated in vitro against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The analysed compounds were selective to BuChE, with IC50 values in the range from 1.0-18.8 µM being obtained. The N-{2-[(4,6-dihydrazinyl-1,3,5-tr...
Abstract Papaveraceae is one of the prominent alkaloid-containing families, and plants of the genus Glaucium (Papaveraceae) are known for their bioactive alkaloids. Glaucium species have been used in traditional medicine in Turkey as an analgesic, narcotic, sedative, and antitussive. In this study, it wa...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Trypanosoma cruzi infection triggers an inflammatory process with exacerbated production of cytokines that stimulate inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signals, including the efferent anti-inflammatory signal known as the anti-inflammatory cholinergic pathway. Thus, the use of ant...
This study aimed to evaluate the anticholinesterase activities of extracts and fractions of Ocotea daphnifolia in vitro and characterize its constituents. The effects of hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanolic extracts on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity were determined...

BACKGROUND: Chia seeds are gaining increasing interest among food producers and consumers because of their prohealth properties. RESULTS: The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of chia seeds to act as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors. The highest inhibit...
Objective Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity has been associated with obesity, lipid concentrations, and CHE2 locus phenotypes. This, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an energetic restriction diet intervention on anthropometrical and biochemical variables and on absolute and relat...
Los plaguicidas son xenobióticos de gran utilidad para el control de las plagas y su uso es una realidad para obtener mayor rendimiento en los cultivos. Sin embargo, tienen el riesgo de producir toxicidad, por lo que es necesario el monitoreo biológico de los trabajadores expuestos a estas sustancias. ...
A videocirurgia é atualmente uma das principais ferramentas operatórias, com vantagens que incluem menor estresse, incisões e dor pós-operatória quando comparada aos procedimentos abertos. Objetivou-se comparar o processo inflamatório e o estresse oxidativo resultantes das técnicas de ovário-hist...

abstract A series of N-substituted 2-{[5-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl}acetamides (8a-w) was synthesized in three steps. The first step involved the sequential conversion of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (1) to ester (2) followed by hydrazide (3) formation and finally cyclization in ...
