Aspidosperma nitidum reduces parasite load and modulates cytokines in BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. [PDF]
The lack of vaccines shows the need for alternative leishmaniasis treatments. In vitro study previously demonstrated the leishmanicidal activity of A. nitidum extracts. This study describes for the first time, the antileishmanial activity of A.

Recycling Upstream Redox Enzymes Expands the Regioselectivity of Cycloaddition in Pseudo-Aspidosperma Alkaloid Biosynthesis. [PDF]
Nature uses cycloaddition reactions to generate complex natural product scaffolds. Dehydrosecodine is a highly reactive biosynthetic intermediate that undergoes cycloaddition to generate several alkaloid scaffolds that are the precursors to ...

A natural small molecule aspidosperma-type alkaloid, hecubine, as a new TREM2 activator for alleviating lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), highly expressed by microglia in the central ...
