Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Neuroinflammation is present in the pathophysiological mechanisms of several diseases that affect the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia have a prominent role in initiating and sustaining the inflammatory process. Epiisopiloturine (EPI) is an imidazole alkaloid obtained as a by‐product of pilocarpine extracted from Pilocarpus microphyllus ...

A practical approach to measuring the biodiversity impacts of land conversion
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 8, Page 910-921, August 2020., 2020 Abstract Further progress in reducing biodiversity loss relies on the improved quantification of the connections between drivers of habitat loss and subsequent biodiversity impacts. To this end, biodiversity impact metrics should be able to report linked trends in specific human activities and changes in biodiversity state, accounting for both the ...

Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Pyrrolidine Alkaloid from Leaves of Piper amalago L.
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Supercritical fluid extraction was used to extract the alkaloid N‐[7‐(3′,4′‐methylenedioxyphenyl)‐2(Z),4(Z)‐heptadienoyl]pyrrolidine from leaves of Piper amalago L. A three‐level orthogonal array design matrix, OAD OA9(34), was used for optimization of the parameters of supercritical extraction of the alkaloid, employing supercritical carbon dioxide ...
