Health Benefits and Pharmacological Properties of Carvone
Carvone is a monoterpene ketone contained in the essential oils of several aromatic and medicinal plants of the Lamiaceae and Asteraceae families. From aromatic plants, this monoterpene is secreted at different concentrations depending on the species ...

Bisphosphonates: Mechanisms of Action [PDF]
The geminal bisphosphonates are a class of drug, developed in the last 30 years, characterised by a P-C-P bond. Consequently, they are analogues of pyrophosphate but are resistant to chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. The bisphosphonates bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals and inhibit their formation and dissolution. This physicochemical effect on

Open inflation from quantum cosmology with a strong nonminimal coupling [PDF]
We propose the mechanism of quantum creation of the open Universe in the observable range of values of $\Omega$. This mechanism is based on the no-boundary quantum state with the Hawking-Turok instanton applied to the model with a strong nonminimal ...

Structural basis of complement membrane attack complex formation [PDF]
In response to complement activation, the membrane attack complex (MAC) assembles from fluid-phase proteins to form pores in lipid bilayers. MAC directly lyses pathogens by a ‘multi-hit’ mechanism; however, sublytic MAC pores on host cells activate ...

The role of response mechanisms in determining reaction time performance: Piéron’s Law revisited [PDF]
A response mechanism takes evaluations of the importance of potential actions and selects the most suitable. Response mechanism function is a nontrivial problem that has not received the attention it deserves within cognitive psychology. In this article,

In vitro and in vivo anthelmintic efficacy of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent gastrointestinal nematode, Trichuris muris [PDF]
We examined the mechanism of action and compared the anthelmintic efficacy of cysteine proteinases from papaya, pineapple, fig, kiwi fruit and Egyptian milkweed in vitro using the rodent gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus.
