Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Geranium robertianum L. decoctions
TL;DR: The strong scavenging effects displayed by the stem extract suggest that its anti-inflammatory activity may partially result from itsAnti-radical capacities towards NO˙, which are particularly rich in tannins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of chlorinated flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic activities in human neutrophils.
TL;DR: The present data showed that 8-chloro-3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone (4a) constitute an alternative anti-inflammatory therapy, due to the proven ability to suppress mechanisms engaged at the onset and progression of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatoprotective activity of polyhydroxylated 2-styrylchromones against tert-butylhydroperoxide induced toxicity in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes.
Eduarda Fernandes,Márcia Carvalho,Félix Carvalho,Artur M. S. Silva,Clementina M.M. Santos,Diana C. G. A. Pinto,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Maria de Lourdes Bastos +7 more
TL;DR: Three of the tested compounds prevented the t-BHP induced glutathione depletion, lipid peroxidation, and cell death in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes to a comparable potency with that of quercetin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antioxidant system in Olea europaea to enhanced UV-B radiation also depends on flavonoids and secoiridoids.
Maria Celeste Dias,Maria Celeste Dias,Diana C. G. A. Pinto,Helena Freitas,Conceição Santos,Artur M. S. Silva +5 more
TL;DR: Being oleuropein an abundant compound, data suggest that secoiridoids play a more important role than flavonoids and HCAds, in O. europaea protection against UV-B, possibly by acting as signalling molecules and ROS scavengers.
Journal ArticleDOI
4'-methoxy-2-styrylchromone a novel microtubule-stabilizing antimitotic agent.
Joana Marinho,Madalena Pedro,Diana C. G. A. Pinto,Artur M. S. Silva,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Claudio E. Sunkel,Maria São José Nascimento +6 more
TL;DR: The results of an in vitro tubulin polymerization assay showed that this chromone stabilizes microtubules in a manner similar to paclitaxel, suggesting that the chromone interferes withmicrotubules.
