Journal ArticleDOI
Antimalarial activity of phenazines from lapachol, β-lapachone and its derivatives against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and Plasmodium berghei in vivo
Valter Ferreira de Andrade-Neto,Marília O. F. Goulart,Jorge F da Silva Filho,Matuzalem J. da Silva,Maria do Carmo F. R. Pinto,Antonio V. Pinto,Mariano G. Zalis,Luzia H. Carvalho,Antoniana U. Krettli +8 more
TL;DR: These simple phenazines, containing polar (-Br,-I) and ionizable (-SO(3)H, -OH) groups, easily synthesized from cheap, natural or synthetic precursors (lapachol and beta-lapachone), at rather low cost, provide prototypes for development of new antimalarials aiming the chloroquine resistant parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Augmented plasma microparticles during acute Plasmodium vivax infection.
Fernanda Magalhães Freire Campos,Bernardo S. Franklin,Andréa Teixeira-Carvalho,Agnaldo Lopes da Silva Filho,Sálua C O de Paula,Cor Jesus Fernandes Fontes,Cristiana Ferreira Alves de Brito,Luzia H. Carvalho +7 more
TL;DR: Abundant circulating MPs are present during acute P. vivax infection, and platelet derived-MPs may play a role on the acute inflammatory symptoms of malaria vivAX.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiplasmodial triterpene from Vernonia brasiliana.
Tânia M. A. Alves,Tanus Jorge Nagem,Luzia H. Carvalho,Antoniana Ursini Krettli,Carlos L. Zani +4 more
TL;DR: The hexane extract from leaves of Vernonia brasiliana (L.) Druce (Compositae) was active in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum and in vivo in mice infected with Plas modium berghei, and lupeol was identified as a compound responsible for the activity, inhibiting the P.falcipareum growth by 45% when tested at 25 micrograms/ml.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An E-model implementation for speech quality evaluation in VoIP systems
TL;DR: A voice quality measurement tool based on the ITU-T E-model is presented and some errors found in these documents are pointed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that platelets boost the inflammasome capacity of human macrophages and neutrophils and are critical for IL-1 production by monocytes and an enriched platelet gene signature among the highest-expressed transcripts in IL- 1β-driven autoinflammatory diseases is revealed.
