Epiisopiloturine, an Alkaloid from Pilocarpus microphyllus, Attenuates LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation by Interfering in the TLR4/NF-κB-MAPK Signaling Pathway in Microglial Cells. [PDF]

Oxid Med Cell Longev, 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 ...

Herbal and Natural Treatments for the Management of the Glaucoma: An Update. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2023
Glaucoma causes the degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, inducing a tissue reshaping that affects both the retina and the optic nerve head. Glaucoma care especially focuses on reducing intraocular pressure, a significant risk factor for progressive damage to the optic nerve.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Antimalarial and Antidengue Plants: A Mechanistic Perspective. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol, 2023
Malaria, a highly perilous infectious disease, impacted approximately 230 million individuals globally in 2019. Mosquitoes, vectors of over 10% of worldwide diseases, pose a significant public health menace. The pressing need for novel antimalarial drugs arises due to the imminent threat faced by nearly 40% of the global population and the escalating ...

Linking seedling wood anatomical trade-offs with drought and seedling growth and survival in tropical dry forests. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Wood anatomy plays a key role in plants' ability to persist under drought and should therefore predict demography. Plants balance their resource allocation among wood cell types responsible for different functions. However, it remains unclear how these anatomical trade‐offs vary with water availability, and the extent to which they influence ...

Unraveling the plant diversity of the Amazonian canga through DNA barcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 13348-13362, October 2021., 2021
Here we bring genetic information for the unique flora of the canga of the Serra dos Carajás in Eastern Amazon. DNA barcodes were obtained for 538 species, 323 genera, and 115 families of vascular plants, with 344 species being characterized for the first time.

A new subfamily classification of the Citrus family (Rutaceae) based on six nuclear and plastid markers

TAXON, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1035-1061, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Rutaceae is a family of angiosperms well known for the economically important genus Citrus. The division of Rutaceae into subfamilies is still inadequate and provisional. Previous phylogenetic studies at the family level are characterized by a limited sampling of genera and lack several crucial taxa. Here, we present a phylogenetic study based
