Antiproliferative effects of lectins from Canavalia ensiformis and Canavalia brasiliensis in human leukemia cell lines

Toxicology in Vitro, 2012
The antiproliferative activity of lectins Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) were studied using human leukemia MOLT-4 and HL-60 cell lines. It was revealed that both ConA and ConBr were markedly cytotoxic to cells using MTT and NAC assays.

In vivo protective effect of the lectin from Canavalia brasiliensis on BALB/c mice infected by Leishmania amazonensis [PDF]

Acta Tropica, 1996
In vivo administration of Canavalia brasiliensis lectin (at the time of infection, or maintained throughout the infection) reduced the lesions of highly susceptible BALB/c mice infected by Leishmania amazonensis. At the doses used C. brasiliensis lectin (ConBr) does not interfere with penetration or fate of Leishmania in the macrophages in vitro. Since

Anti-inflammatory effect of glucose—mannose binding lectins isolated from Brazilian beans

Mediators of Inflammation, 1997
Selectins are essential for leukocyte recruitment in inflammation. Because of a lectin domain present in the selectin structure, we investigated the anti-inflammtory activity of six mannose–glucose binding lectins from brazilian beans: Dioclea guianensis-

Anti-inflammatory and Anti-necrotic Effect of Lectins from Canavalia ensiformis and Canavalia brasiliensis in Experimental Acute Pancreatitis [PDF]

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2021
Abstract Lectins isolated from Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) are promising molecules to modulate cell death. Acute pancreatitis, characterized by acinar cell necrosis and inflammation, presents significant morbidity and mortality.

Chimerolectins: Classification, structural architecture, and functional perspectives. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins capable of binding specifically and reversibly to carbohydrates, a property that, in itself, gives them great functional versatility in organisms from all kingdoms of nature. A subclass of these proteins, called chimerolectins, is composed of proteins that have at least one lectin domain associated with ...

AGRONOMIC EVALUATION OF TROPICAL GRASSES ASSOCIATED WITH Canavalia brasiliensis IN DRY TROPIC

Agrociencia, 2022
Livestock production in some tropical regions is characterized by the use of naturalized forages in extensive management with low production rates. The use of improved grass-legume associations represents a sustainable intensification opportunity for this type of agroecosystems.
