Journal ArticleDOI
α-Glucosidase inhibition by flavonoids: an in vitro and in silico structure-activity relationship study.
Carina Proença,Marisa Freitas,Daniela Ribeiro,Eduardo F. Oliveira,Joana L. C. Sousa,Sara M. Tomé,Maria J. Ramos,Artur M. S. Silva,Pedro A. Fernandes,Eduarda Fernandes +9 more
TL;DR: The present work suggests that several of the studied flavonoids have the potential to be used as alternatives for the regulation of PPHG, with a flavonoid with two catechol groups in A- and B-rings being the most active.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids as potential agents in the management of type 2 diabetes through the modulation of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview on the structure-activity relationship of flavonoids in inhibiting α-amylase and α-glucosidase, including their type of inhibition and experimental procedures applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-dependent cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles in human neutrophils assessed by multiple analytical approaches.
Tânia Soares,Daniela Ribeiro,Carina Proença,Renan Campos Chisté,Eduarda Fernandes,Marisa Freitas +5 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that AgNPs are toxic to human neutrophils in concentration-, time- and size-dependent manner, but independent of NADPH oxidase activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel chromone and xanthone derivatives: Synthesis and ROS/RNS scavenging activities.
Carina Proença,Hélio M. T. Albuquerque,Daniela Ribeiro,Marisa Freitas,Clementina M.M. Santos,Artur M. S. Silva,Eduarda Fernandes +6 more
TL;DR: Generally, all the tested new hydroxylated chromones and xanthones exhibited scavenger effects dependent on the concentration, with IC50 values found in the micromolar range, allowing the inference of preliminary conclusions on the structure-activity relationship.
