Using genetic data to predict the vulnerability of a native predator to a toxic invader [PDF]
, 2016 Australia has no native toad species, and as a consequence, many Australian predators lack resistance to the toxins of the invasive cane toad Rhinella marina, and die if they ingest one of these toads.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The Na,K-ATPase is a vital animal cell-membrane protein that maintains the cell’s resting potential, among other functions. Cardenolides, a group of potent plant toxins, bind to and inhibit this pump.

Endophytic fungi from Nerium oleander L (Apocynaceae): Main constituents and antioxidant activity [PDF]
, 2007 Diverse endophytic fungi exist within plant aerial tissues, with a global estimate of up to a million undescribed species. These endophytes constitute a rich bio-resource for exploration to discover new natural products.

The Cardiac Glycosides Digitoxin, Digoxin and Ouabain Induce a Potent Inhibition of Glycolysis in Lung Cancer Cells [PDF]
, 2013 Cardiac glycosides are promising anticancer drugs. We have recently shown that the cardiac glycosides digitoxin, digoxin and ouabain induce selective killing of lung cancer cells, and that the cytotoxicity of digitoxin against these cells occurs at ...

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 861-872, August 2025.Novel cardenolide defences co‐vary with other defences among leaves of Erysimum cheiranthoides, but while caterpillars avoid well‐defended leaves, cardenolides alone cannot explain herbivore behaviour. Abstract Plants invest a substantial fraction of their resources into defence against herbivores, with the highest levels of defence often allocated ...

Cardenolides metabolism and genetic transformation of Digitalis. Potentialities and challenges
Biotecnología Vegetal, 2010 Cardenolides are secondary metabolites produced by plants of the genus Digitalis. These are widely used in treatments of congestive heart failure. Failed attempts to obtain suitable cardenolide levels from in vitro culture of Digitalis plants have ...

Phylogenetic escalation and decline of plant defense strategies [PDF]
, 2008 As the basal resource in most food webs, plants have evolved myriad strategies to battle consumption by herbivores. Over the past 50 years, plant defense theories have been formulated to explain the remarkable variation in abundance, distribution, and ...

Transforming Growth Factor‐β Pathway: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.Natural compounds modulate the TGF‐β pathway, which acts as both a tumor suppressor and promoter during cancer progression. Agents such as ginsenosides, halofuginone, and EGCG influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. These bioactive molecules may complement standard therapies, highlighting the need for advanced formulations ...

Poison, plants and Palaeolithic hunters. An analytical method to investigate the presence of plant poison on archaeological artefacts [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we present the development of a method for the detection of toxic substances on ancient arrow points. The aim is to go back in time until the Palaeolithic period in order to determine if poisonous substances were used to enhance the hunting
