The carbohydrate-binding specificity and molecular modelling of Canavalia maritima and Dioclea grandiflora lectins

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
The carbohydrate-binding specificity of lectins from the seeds of Canavalia maritima and Dioclea grandiflora was studied by hapten-inhibition of haemagglutination using various sugars and sugar derivatives as inhibitors, including N-acetylneuraminic acid

Anti-glioma properties of DVL, a lectin purified from Dioclea violacea

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
Plant lectins have been studied owing to their structural properties and biological effects that include agglutinating activity, antidepressant-like effect and antitumor property. The results from this work showed the effects of the lectin extracted from the Dioclea violacea plant (DVL) on the C6 rat glioma cell line.

A Lectin from Dioclea violacea Interacts with Midgut Surface of Lutzomyia migonei, Unlike Its Homologues, Cratylia floribunda Lectin and Canavalia gladiata Lectin

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by phlebotomine sand fly. Susceptibility and refractoriness to Leishmania depend on the outcome of multiple interactions that take place within the sand fly gut.

Lectin from Dioclea violacea induces autophagy in U87 glioma cells

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2019
The antitumor activity of DVL, a lectin purified from Dioclea violacea seeds, on the U87 human glioma cell line was evaluated and compared with Canavalia ensiformis lectin (ConA). Treatment with DVL (10-100 μg/mL; 24-96 h) induced alterations in cell morphology, decreased cell numbers and clonogenic survival in a time- and concentration-dependent ...
