Tempone +21 more
TL;DR: The current review attempts to give an overview on the potential of such plant-derived natural products as antiprotozoal leads and/or drugs in the fight against NTDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exogenous influences on plant secondary metabolite levels
TL;DR: This contribution aims to review the most important mechanisms of various abiotic and biotic interactions, such as pathogenic microorganisms and herbivory, by which plants respond to exogenous influences, and will also report on time-scale variable influences on secondary metabolite profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amazonian Brazilian medicinal plants described by C.F.P. von Martius in the 19th century.
Ulrike B. Breitbach,Michael Niehues,Norberto Peporine Lopes,Jair Eustáquio Quintino Faria,Maria G.L. Brandão +4 more
TL;DR: The data recorded by the German naturalist von Martius represent a rich, unexplored source of information about the traditional uses of Brazilian plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic in vitro oxidation of lapachol: a model to predict and analyse the in vivo phase I metabolism of bioactive compounds.
Michael Niehues,Valeria Priscila de Barros,Flavio da Silva Emery,Marcelo Dias-Baruffi,Marilda das Dores Assis,Norberto Peporine Lopes +5 more
TL;DR: The biomimetic model with a manganese salen complex has evidenced its use as a valuable tool to predict and elucidate the in vivo phase I metabolism of lapachol and possibly also of other bioactive natural compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lapachol, a compound targeting pyrimidine metabolism, ameliorates experimental autoimmune arthritis.
Raphael S. Peres,Gabriela B. Santos,Nerry T. Cecilio,Valquíria A. P. Jabor,Michael Niehues,Bruna Gaelzer Silva Torres,Gabriela A. Buqui,Carlos Henrique Tomich de Paula da Silva,Teresa Dalla Costa,Norberto Peporine Lopes,Maria Cristina Nonato,Fernando Silva Ramalho,Paulo Louzada-Junior,Thiago M. Cunha,Fernando Q. Cunha,Flavio da Silva Emery,José C. Alves-Filho +16 more
TL;DR: LAP could be considered as a potential immunosuppressive lead candidate with potential therapeutic implications for RA, and a binding model of interaction is proposed and support the ability of LAP to inhibit DHODH, decreasing lymphocyte proliferation and attenuating the severity of experimental autoimmune arthritis.
