In this study, the toxic effects of melittin on Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney cells (MDBK) were analyzed with respect to mitochondrial functionality by reduction of MTT and flow cytometry, apoptosis potential, necrosis, oxygen reactive species (ROS) production, lipid peroxidation, and DNA fragmentation using...
This study evaluated the genotoxicity of lyophilized glycolic extract of Theobroma cacao Linné seeds (TCL), using the micronucleus assay in bone marrow of mice. The interaction between TCL and doxorubicin (DXR) was also analyzed. Experimental groups were evaluated 24-48 h after treatment with N-Nitroso-...
The skin secretion from toads of the Bufonidae family has great potential in the search for new active compounds to be used as drug candidates in treating some diseases, among them cancer. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and antimutagenic activity of the parotoid gland secreti...
Several studies have pointed out that certain snake venoms contain compounds presenting cytotoxic activities that selectively interfere with cancer cell metabolism. In this study, Pseudocerastes persicus venom and its fractions were investigated for their anticancer potential on lung cancer cells. Metho...
A leucemia mieloide crônica (LMC) é uma neoplasia mieloproliferativa BCR-ABL1 + marcada por aumento da mieloproliferação e presença de células leucêmicas resistentes à apoptose. A terapia de primeira linha atual para a LMC é a administração de inibidores da tirosina quinase, mesilato de imatin...
Envenoming by kraits (genus Bungarus) is a medically significant issue in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) venom is known to contain highly potent neurotoxins. In recent years, there have been reports on the non-neurotoxic activities of krait venom that include myotoxicity...
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare in vitro cytotoxicity and corrosion resistance of mini-implants from three different commercial brands used for orthodontic anchorage. Methods: Six mini-implants (Conexão(tm), Neodent(tm) and SIN(tm)) were separately immersed in artificial saliva (pH 6.76) ...
O câncer de mama apresenta-se como um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública no mundo por ser, entre as mulheres, o primeiro em incidência e o segundo em número de óbitos. Este tipo de câncer apresenta alto grau de recorrência devido a falha no tratamento do tumor primário e o aparecimento de me...
RESUMO Estudo experimental in vitro que objetivou investigar o potencial antimicrobiano e
citotóxico de quatro frações e um extrato etanólico da espécie Pouteria venosa usada como
planta medicinal. A atividade antimicrobiana foi determinada pelos testes de sensibilidade
microbiana, como o métod...
A number of studies has shown that antioxidants, fatty acids and trace minerals may modulate different immune cell activities, and that their deficiency may be associated with diseases and impaired immune responses. In innate immunity, natural killer (NK) cells have a central role, killing virally infect...
