AI Article Synopsis
- * The methanol extract and its fractions showed stronger antioxidant activity compared to a commercial antioxidant (BHT) and demonstrated significant larvicidal activity, especially in the dichloromethane fraction.
- * Notably, the extracts exhibited low toxicity to shrimp larvae, marking them as selective and safe, and highlighting the potential for further research into these compounds for natural antioxidant sources without cytotoxic effects.
Article Abstract
is a medicinal species of the Brazilian Cerrado. The extract and fractions of this plant were analysed by LC-DAD-MS. Identified constituents included glycosylated and non-glycosylated flavonoids, especially quercetin, and phenylpropanoids, such as chlorogenic acids. The antioxidant activity was significantly more pronounced for the methanol extract and fractions than that of the commercial antioxidant 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT). Maximum larvicidal activity of 85.83% was recorded in the dichloromethane fraction (LC = 469.78 µg mL). The methanol extract and fractions presented low toxicity to larvae of the shrimp brine indicating selectivity for . These results contribute to the phytochemical study of . These compounds were identified for the first time in this species and encourage additional work on the isolation of compounds present in the extract and fractions of to evaluate the possibility of using them as natural sources of antioxidants, since cytotoxic effects were not demonstrated.

Even more sample-limited yet rich in biological information are phosphoproteomics experiments, as the phosphoproteome composes only a fraction of the whole cellular proteome. Rapid analysis, high sensitivity, and maximization of sample utilization are paramount for single-cell analysis.

Background Diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication of diabetes that significantly increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A critical concern in managing patients with diabetic nephropathy is the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), which can exacerbate kidney dysfunction and lead to adverse health outcomes. PIMs are defined as medications whose risks outweigh their benefits, particularly when safer alternatives are available.
