Toxicity of Mucura (Petiveria alliacea) extracts from the peruvian amazon against Daphnia magna for environmental protection and sustainable development.

Natural products, specifically plant extracts with biological activity and the ability to act as botanical biopesticides are often mistakenly considered nontoxic. Scientific evidence indicates the contrary, and for this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of extracts obtained from Petiveria alliacea L. (Caryophyllales, Phytolaccaceae) using Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Daphniidae) as a bioindicator to identify the plant extracts and the respective concentrations that present the highest toxicity.

Antitumor activity of vibrio sp. isolated biopolymers in induced breast cancer in rats.

Objective: To evaluate the antitumor activity of the raw extract from biopolymers isolated from the Vibrio sp. marine bacteria in breast cancer induced by N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in rats.

Materials And Methods: The Vibrio sp.
