Biochemical Responses of Anopheles spp. Larvae to a Novel Brazilian BR101 Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Formulation: Oxidative Stress, Detoxification Enzymes, and Safety for Nontarget Notonectidae and Gerridae Aquatic Insects. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Bti BR101 exhibits strong larvicidal activity against Anopheles larvae spp., with dose‐dependent mortality and LC50 of 3.13 µg/mL. Bti increases ROS, lipid and protein oxidation, and activates antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx) and detoxification pathways (MFO and esterases), indicating moderate oxidative stress.

Pseudomonas putida, an endophyte of Piper tuberculatum, increases the biomass of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)

Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas
Plant growth-promoting bacterial endophytes have been increasingly used in sustainable agriculture. Previous studies reported the isolation of Pseudomonas putida Pt12 with plant growth-promoting properties associated with the roots of Piper tuberculatum,

Piplartine as an Innovative Natural Product With Dual Antiparasitic and Immunomodulatory Actions. [PDF]

J Immunol Res
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health burden, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income regions and demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current evidence on piplartine (piperlongumine), a naturally occurring amide from Piper species with broad antiparasitic and immunomodulatory ...

Amino acids L-phenylalanine and L-lysine involvement in trans and cis piperamides biosynthesis in two Piper species

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023
Several Piper species accumulate piperamides as secondary metabolites, and although they have relevant biological importance, many details of their biosynthetic pathways have not yet been described experimentally.

Rationalising the retro‐Diels‐Alder fragmentation pattern of viscutins using electrospray interface‐tandem mass spectrometry coupled to theoretical modelling

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 37, Issue 15, 15 August 2023., 2023
Rationale Although mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool in structural elucidation of unknown flavonoids based on their unique fragmentation patterns, proposing the correct fragmentation mechanism is still a challenge from tandem mass spectrometry data only.

Piperaceae Raddianae: A taxonomic and nomenclatural study of Giuseppe Raddi's Brazilian Piperaceae

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 880-893, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Giuseppe Raddi collected in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from November 1817 to June 1818. He published 12 new names in the family Piperaceae in an article that appeared in 1828. Raddi's article has not been cited in specialized literature and these names were never properly studied.

Fruit secondary metabolites alter the quantity and quality of a seed dispersal mutualism

Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Plant secondary metabolites are key mechanistic drivers of species interactions. These metabolites have primarily been studied for their role in defense, but they can also have important consequences for mutualisms, including seed dispersal.

Pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the pink hibiscus mealybug, for the EU. M. hirsutus is native to Southern Asia and has established in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.

Antischistosomal Activity of Origanum majorana, Ziziphus spina-christi, and Salvia fruticosa Plant Extracts on Hamster Infected with Schistosoma haematobium

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
World Health Organization (WHO) has approved only one treatment for schistosomiasis, praziquantel (PZQ), but some poor efficacy was noticed in patients during the early stage of infection. Therefore, researchers have intensified their efforts to research new alternative medicines to treat schistosomiasis.
