Influence of seasonality and habitat on chemical composition, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial properties of the .

Mart, belonging to the Fabacee family, is a medicinal plant known for its biological properties and production of phenolic compounds. Previous studies reveal the biological activity of its phenolic constituents, making it very promising for the development of new medicines. Seasonality and geographic distribution of species can modify the production of secondary metabolites in Fabaceae species in terms of the preferentially activated metabolic pathways and, consequently, interfere with the medicinal properties of these species.

Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of α-D-mannan from the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus: evidence for a role in interleukin-6 inhibition.

The management of inflammatory states typically involves non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opiates. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the processing of nociceptive information from potential alternatives such as some polysaccharides may enable new and meaningful therapeutic approaches. In this study, α-D-mannan isolated from the Kluyveromyces marxianus cell wall produced antinociceptive effects in models of inflammatory pain (formalin and complete Freund's adjuvant tests).

α-D-mannan from (CCMB 324): optimization extraction.

Mannans has been attracted the interest in various sectors due to its promising applications. The low toxicity of mannans allows for their use in cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. In this study, the α-D-mannan extraction conditions from by alkaline extraction were optimized using a Box-Behnken design (BBD).

Chemometrics applied to H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy as a way to evaluate solid-liquid extraction of leaves of artichoke.

Artichoke has several biological actions, which are related to the synergistic action of its bioactive compounds. Solid-liquid extraction influence the type and quantity of compounds extracted and, consequently, the biological activity of the plant extract. This study aims to investigate which extraction method (maceration, infusion, or Soxhlet) and which green solvent (ethanol or acetone) would be more suitable to obtain bioactive artichoke extracts.

Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of α-d-mannan from sp.

Unlabelled: sp. are yeasts that are commercially important due to their production of glycolipid biosurfactants, squalene, itaconic acid, and exopolysaccharide. The search for other analgesia inducing drugs, such as opiates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as alternatives is beneficial.

Evaluation of biodiesel-diesel blends quality using 1H NMR and chemometrics.

In this work, the use of (1)H NMR spectroscopy and statistical approach to the evaluation of biodiesel-diesel blends quality is described. Forty-six mixtures of oil-diesel, biodiesel-diesel, and oil-biodiesel-diesel were analyzed by (1)H NMR and such data were employed to design four predictive models. Thirty-six mixtures were used in the calibration set and the others in the validation.

Synthesis and total 1H- and 13C-NMR assignment of cephem derivatives for use in ADEPT approaches.

We report the synthesis and total NMR characterization of 5-thia-1-azabicyclo-[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[[[(4''-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]oxy]-methyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]-diphenylmethyl ester-5-dioxide (5), a new cephalosporin derivative.
