Antitumoral effect thought ROS production of the sesquiterpene lactone centratherin isolated from , an endemic plant from Brazil.

Cancer is a global public health problem, requiring the development of new and more effective drugs for treatment. , is a common plant found in the Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest and is used as a traditional medicinal plant in some regions. This study evaluated the potential antitumor effect of centratherin, a compound isolated from leaves, against cancer cells.

Pyrones Isolated from Annona Acutiflora Exhibit Promising Cytotoxic Effects on Cancer Cell Lines.

This work discusses the ongoing challenge of cancer, focusing on therapy issues such as chemotherapy resistance and adverse drug effects. It emphasizes the need for new anticancer agents with improved efficacy and fewer side effects, exploring natural products from plant sources. The Annonaceae family, specifically the Annona genus, is highlighted for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects.

Molluscicidal and Cercaricidal Effects of Essential Oil Nanoemulsion.

Schistosomiasis is a tropical disease transmitted in an aqueous environment by cercariae from the genus. This disease affects 200 million people living in risk areas around the world. The control of schistosomiasis is realized by chemotherapy, wastewater sanitation, health education, and mollusk control using molluscicidal agents.

Distal ileal necrosis: right ileo-colic intussuscepted anastomosis as an alternative to ileostomy.

Introduction: The technique of ileo-right colic intussuscepted anastomosis creating a neo-ileo-colic valve, was first described by Ribault in 1989 and has been shown to be of value in patients with typhoid ileal perforation as well as in other non-cancerous lesions of the terminal ileum. This technique is simple and rapid, and avoids ileostomy and/or ileo-cecal resection. The goal of this case-series was to describe the technique of ileo-right colic intussuscepted anastomosis as an alternative to ileostomy.
