Products derived from the latex of were obtained through hydrolysis and column chromatography, resulting in products rich in triterpenes, ingenol 3-esters (I3E), and other derivatives from hydrolysed latex. These products underwent evaluation for their cytotoxic activity against gastric adenocarcinoma cells (AGS). Triterpene derivatives were synthesised, and the selectivity of each product was assessed. The results were compared with the previously described crude latex. Triterpenes and I3E were analysed for their affinity with the active site of PKCδC1b. The hydrolysed latex (free of I3E) exhibited high cytotoxicity, albeit with reduced selectivity. Triterpenes and acetylated triterpenes were more cytotoxic than I3E, although the latter showed greater selectivity. Euphol benzoates and cinnamates showed no cytotoxicity. I3E demonstrated high affinity for the PKCδC1b. In summary, triterpenes exhibited higher cytotoxicity against AGS cells, while I3E displayed greater selectivity. Hydrolysed latex shows promise as a potential candidate for future gastric cancer treatment.

Polyamidamine (PAMAM) dendrimer-functionalized hydrothermal nanosized carbonaceous spheres (HNCSs) were prepared and utilized as latexes for agglomerated anion exchange chromatography (AEC) stationary phase. The high-concentration and scalable production of monodisperse HNCSs (73-98 nm) was accomplished via the polyquaternium-7-assisted hydrothermal carbonization of fructose. The novel PAMAM-based quaternizations of HNCSs were designed by the amidation with PAMAM and epoxy-amine addition reaction with glycidol in aqueous solution.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been reported to be promising alternatives to chemical preservatives. Thus, this study aimed to characterise AMPs generated from the hydrolysis of wheat gluten proteins using latex peptidases of Calotropis procera, Cryptostegia grandiflora, and Carica papaya. The three hydrolysates (obtained after 16 h at 37 °C, using a 1: 25 enzyme: substrate ratio) inhibited the growth of Aspergillus niger, A.

Background: Plant-derived cysteine proteinases of the papain family (CPs) attack nematodes by digesting the cuticle, leading to rupture and death of the worm. The nematode cuticle is composed of collagens and cuticlins, but the specific molecular target(s) for the proteinases have yet to be identified.
Methods: This study followed the course of nematode cuticle disruption using immunohistochemistry, scanning electron microscopy and proteomics, using a free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans and the murine GI nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri (H.

Using proteolytic enzymes extracted from plant materials is a promising way to ensure the sustainability of the food industry. This is particularly true for the dairy industry, especially in cheesemaking and the production of different milk protein hydrolysates for special food applications, particularly nutrition for infants, older adults, and people with food allergies. Ficin, a cysteyl protease isolated from the latex of the fig tree (), is characterized by strong enzymatic activity and can be used for milk clotting and protein hydrolysis for application in different foods.
