Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxic profile of natural and some modified bufadienolides from toad Rhinella schneideri parotoid gland secretion.

TL;DR: The cytotoxic evaluation showed that all natural bufadienolides and their derivatives exhibited moderate to strong activity against human HL-60, SF-295, MDA-MB-435, and HCT-8 cancer cell strains without hemolysis of mouse erythrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential oils: in vitro activity against Leishmania amazonensis , cytotoxicity and chemical composition

TL;DR: The EO from F. galbaniflua showed to be effective against L. amazonensis promastigotes forms and presented low cytotoxic activity against L6 cells, which represents a strong candidate for future studies aiming its molecular activity on these pathogenic parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utilisation of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid from Anacardium occidentale as Starting Material for Organic Synthesis: A Novel Route to Lasiodiplodin from Cardols

TL;DR: In this paper, the conversion of cardols (6-alkenylresorcinols) into lasiodiplodin, a naturally occurring 12-membered orsellinic acid type macrolide, which exhibits plant growth regulating and antileukemic properties, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and cytotoxicity screening of substituted isobenzofuranones designed from anacardic acids.

TL;DR: Analysis of mechanisms involved in the cytotoxic activity showed that active compounds were leading to DNA damage, triggering apoptosis or necrosis induction, and interestingly, 1a exhibits significant antiproliferative effect against HL-60 cells and moderate activity against SF295 and MDA-MB435 cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibitory effect of combinations of digoxin and endogenous cardiotonic steroids on Na+/K+-ATPase activity in human kidney membrane preparation

TL;DR: Analyses of inhibition curves showed that the experimental curves for all combinations were superimposed on the theoretical additive curves indicating that an additive effect occurs among distinct cardenolides and bufadienolides combinations on the human α1β1 Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase protomer.
