Journal ArticleDOI
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a tool in green chemistry
TL;DR: The goal is not to deeply explore the issues related to the mechanistic concepts of the reactions, but to use some selected examples to show the broad range of compounds that can be obtained in reactions with HRP, evidencing its use mainly in organic synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyranoanthocyanin Dimers: A New Family of Turquoise Blue Anthocyanin-Derived Pigments Found in Port Wine
Joana Oliveira,Joana Azevedo,Artur M. S. Silva,Natércia Teixeira,Luís Cruz,Nuno Mateus,Victor de Freitas +6 more
TL;DR: Two new families of compounds with unique spectroscopic characteristics are revealed, one of which displays an attractive and rare turquoise blue color at acidic conditions and has never been reported in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of Phlorotannins Extraction from Fucus vesiculosus and Evaluation of Their Potential to Prevent Metabolic Disorders.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that F. vesiculosus phlorotannin-rich extracts hold potential for the management of the activity of α-glucosidase, α-amylase and pancreatic lipase, which are well known to be linked to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
NMR structural elucidation of the arabinan from Prunus dulcis immunobiological active pectic polysaccharides
Fernando Dourado,Susana M. Cardoso,Susana M. Cardoso,Artur M. S. Silva,Francisco M. Gama,Manuel A. Coimbra +5 more
TL;DR: A tentative structure is presented, showing that it is composed by a very branched and, possibly, repetitive structure of seven residues in the arabinan backbone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a flavonoids library for inhibition of pancreatic α-amylase towards a structure–activity relationship
Carina Proença,Marisa Freitas,Daniela Ribeiro,Sara M. Tomé,Eduardo F. Oliveira,Matilde F. Viegas,Alberto N. Araújo,Maria J. Ramos,Artur M. S. Silva,Pedro A. Fernandes,Eduarda Fernandes +10 more
TL;DR: Some of the tested flavonoids have shown promising inhibition of α-amylase and may be considered as possible alternatives to the modulation of T2DM.
