Polysaccharide isolated from Passiflora edulis: Characterization and antitumor properties
D. Silva,Ana Lúcia Ponte Freitas,Francisco Clark Nogueira Barros,Kézia O.A.L. Lins,Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes Alves,Nylane M.N. Alencar,Ingrid Samantha Tavares de Figueiredo,Cláudia Pessoa,Manoel Odorico de Moraes,Letícia V. Costa-Lotufo,Judith P.A. Feitosa,Jeanny S. Maciel,Regina C.M. de Paula +12 more
TL;DR: Toxicological analysis shows that PFCM increases the cell types involved in primary defense mechanisms and no significant changes in the biochemical parameters and organs (e.g., kidney and liver) were observed, however, the use of P FCM treatment increased the spleen weight when compared with theUse of 5-fluorouracil.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo growth inhibition of sarcoma 180 by latex proteins from Calotropis procera
Jefferson Soares de Oliveira,Letícia V. Costa-Lotufo,Daniel P. Bezerra,Nylane M.N. Alencar,Jose Delano Barreto Marinho-Filho,Ingrid Samantha Tavares de Figueiredo,Manoel Odorico de Moraes,Cláudia Pessoa,Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes Alves,Márcio V. Ramos +9 more
TL;DR: The pharmacological potential of proteins from the latex of C. procera to control sarcoma cell proliferation and the 5-FU-induced depletion of leukocytes in mice even when given orally is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteins derived from latex of C. procera maintain coagulation homeostasis in septic mice and exhibit thrombin- and plasmin-like activities.
Márcio V. Ramos,Carolina A. Viana,Ayrles F.B. Silva,Cleverson D.T. Freitas,Ingrid Samantha Tavares de Figueiredo,Raquel S.B. Oliveira,Nylane M.N. Alencar,José Vitor Lima-Filho,Vijay Kumar +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the cysteine proteases present in the latex of C. procera exhibit thrombin- and plasmin-like activities and suggests that these proteins have therapeutic potential in various conditions associated with coagulation abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preclinical anticancer effectiveness of a fraction from Casearia sylvestris and its component Casearin X: in vivo and ex vivo methods and microscopy examinations
Paulo Michel Pinheiro Ferreira,Daniel P. Bezerra,Jurandy do Nascimento Silva,Marcília Pinheiro da Costa,Jose Ferreira,Nylane M.N. Alencar,Ingrid Samantha Tavares de Figueiredo,Alberto José Cavalheiro,Camila Maria Longo Machado,Roger Chammas,Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes Alves,Manoel Odorico de Moraes,Claudia Pessoa,Claudia Pessoa +13 more
TL;DR: FC and Cas X were efficient antitumor substances against murine and human cancer cells and caused reversible morphological changes in liver, kidneys and spleens, emphasizing clerodane diterpenes as an emerging class of anticancer molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of NO in the inhibitory effect of Calotropis procera latex protein fractions on leukocyte rolling, adhesion and infiltration in rat peritonitis model

TL;DR: The study shows that LP fraction of Calotropis procera comprises of three distinct sets of proteins exhibiting anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties of which LP(PI) was most potent in inhibiting neutrophil functions and its effects are mediated through NO production.
