Potential Proallergenic Activity of Phytopathogenic and in in vitro Studies.

Purpose: Allergic diseases have reached epidemic proportions globally, affecting nearly 30% of the world's population. One of the most prominent sources of allergens is fungi, causing up to 6% of respiratory diseases in the general population. However, the cause of respiratory allergies is not always identifiable.

Fungal Aeroallergens-The Impact of Climate Change.

The incidence of allergic diseases worldwide is rapidly increasing, making allergies a modern pandemic. This article intends to review published reports addressing the role of fungi as causative agents in the development of various overreactivity-related diseases, mainly affecting the respiratory tract. After presenting the basic information on the mechanisms of allergic reactions, we describe the impact of fungal allergens on the development of the allergic diseases.

Isothiocyanate l-argininato copper(II) complexes - Solution structure, DNA interaction, anticancer and antimicrobial activity.

l-argininato copper(II) complexes have been intensively investigated in a variety of diseases due to their therapeutic potential. Here we report the results of comprehensive structural studies (ESI-MS, NIR-VIS-UV, EPR) on the complexes arising in aqueous solutions of two ternary copper(II) complexes with molecular formulas from crystal structures, [Cu(l-Arg)(NCS)](NCS)·HO (1) and [Cu(l-Arg)(NCS)] (2) (l-Arg = l-arginine). Reference systems, the ternary Cu(II)/l-Arg/NCS as well as binary Cu(II)/NCS and Cu(II)/l-Arg, were studied in parallel in aqueous solutions by pH-potentiometric titration, EPR and VIS spectroscopy to characterize stability, structures and speciation of the formed species over the broad pH range.
