Chemical composition of the essential oil of the local endemics Centaurea davidovii and C. parilica (Asteraceae, sect. Lepteranthus) from Bulgaria
2014
In the present study the chemical compositions of the essential oils from aerial parts of Centaurea davidovii Urum. and C. parilica Stoj. & Stef., both endemic to Bulgaria, were evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components of C. davidovii were β-eudesmol (13.9%), spathulenol (13.3%), caryophyllene oxide (10.1%) and ( Z)-phytol (5.4%). The main components of C parilica were hexadecanoic acid (39.2%), ( Z, Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (11.9%), caryophyllene oxide (6.8%) and spathulenol (6.6%). In order to compare the essential oils composition of these taxa and of related species a PCA analysis was carried out.
Essential oil of Citrus lumia Risso: Phytochemical profile, antioxidant properties and activity on the central nervous system
2018
Citrus lumia Risso Essential oil Antioxidant properties Anti-cholinesterase activity Cytotoxicity Neuroactive effects 1. Introduction Plants that produce essential oils (EOs) represent a large part of natural flora and an important resource in various fields such as pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries, due to their flavor, fra- grance and biological activity (Swamy et al., 2016). EOs play a pivotal role in the growth and colonization of plants, giving color and scent to reproductive organs, attracting pollinators, favoring seed dispersion (Sharifi-Rad et al., 2017), and defending the plant against abiotic (light, temperature, etc.) and biotics (herbivores, harmful insects and pa- t…
Characterization of the transporterB0AT3 (Slc6a17) in the rodent central nervous system.
2013
Abstract Background The vesicular B0AT3 transporter (SLC6A17), one of the members of the SLC6 family, is a transporter for neutral amino acids and is exclusively expressed in brain. Here we provide a comprehensive expression profile of B0AT3 in mouse brain using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Results We confirmed previous expression data from rat brain and used a novel custom made antibody to obtain detailed co-labelling with several cell type specific markers. B0AT3 was highly expressed in both inhibitory and excitatory neurons. The B0AT3 expression was highly overlapping with those of vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2) and vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1…
The resilience of Finnish farms: Exploring the interplay between agency and structure
2020
Resilience implies, in its essence, the capacity of a system to tolerate disturbances while retaining its essential functions. In the context of agriculture, resilience thinking calls for considering the ability of farms to thrive in turbulent times along with the ability of the ecological system – in which the agricultural production is embedded – to retain its function and integrity. Resilience is a relevant conceptual tool to analyse the contradictory management demands that farms are facing within the current neoliberal market regime: being economically viable and environmentally sustainable. In this study, the resilience of farms was operationalised through farmers' perceptions concern…
Centralizēti reģistrēto bioloģisko un biolīdzīgo medikamentu reimatoīdo slimību ārstēšanai pieejamība Latvijā
2022
Bioloģiskajiem medikamentiem ir nozīmīga loma dažādu slimību terapijās, savukārt to biolīdzīgie analogi palīdz padarīt bioloģisko terapiju lētāku un pieejamāku pacientiem. Viena no slimībām, kur tiek izmantota bioloģiskā terapija, ir reimatoīdais artrīts (RA). Ja šī slimība progresē, tad nākotnē tā var novest pie nopietniem veselības traucējumiem vai pat invaliditātes, kas var radīt finansiālo slogu gan valstij, gan pacientam. Pētījumam veikšana tika izvēlētas kvantitatīvās datu ieguves metodes. Tika analizēti centralizēti reģistrēti 19 bioloģiskie un 36 biolīdzīgie medikamenti. No tiem uz RA terapiju attiecās 7 bioloģiskie un 22 biolīdzīgie medikamenti. Latvijā ir pieejami 6 bioloģiskie un…

Application of molecular topology in the prediction of new compounds with anti-trypanosomal cytotoxic activity
2021
La enfermedad de Chagas es una antropozoonosis parasitaria de transmisión mayoritariamente vectorial. Si bien afecta principalmente a América, constituye una de las mayores enfermedades desatendidas a nivel mundial. Solamente dos fármacos con un alto grado de toxicidad se encuentran disponibles para su tratamiento, por lo que es preciso aunar esfuerzos en pos del desarrollo de nuevas drogas antitripanosomales eficaces y con escasos efectos adversos. En este estudio, se aplicó la topología molecular para el desarrollo de un modelo QSAR capaz de predecir la actividad citotóxica antitripanosomal de un grupo de 39 compuestos. El modelo desarrollado mediante análisis lineal discriminante permiti…

Overdose of Quetiapine—A Case Report with QT Prolongation
2021
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug used to treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder. Although several studies describe the adverse effects of intoxication with Quetiapine, only a few report an extreme overdose without comedications that lead to a life threat. We present a case of a 75-year-old male who tried to attempt suicide by ingesting 28 g of Quetiapine. During the management in the emergency department, both serum and urine samples were collected, allowing a complete pharmacokinetic analysis to be conducted, from the admission to the discharge.
COMPOSITION OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS IN CALENDULA SUFFRUTICOSA (ASTERACEAE) FROM SICILY
2016
The genus Calendula L. (Calenduleae Cass., Asteraceae) includes several species having medicinal properties. Pharmacological studies reveal, for instance, that C. officinalis L. exhibits antibacterial, antiviral, antinflammatory, antitumor and antioxidant properties; C. arvensis L. has antibacterial, antinflammatory, antimutagenic and haemolytic activities; C. suffruticosa Vahl has antimicrobial activity, especially against pathogenic microorganisms as Pseudomonas syringae Van Hall, Pseudomonas fluorescens (Flügge) Migula, Xanthomonas campestris (Pammel) Dowson and Agrobacterium tumefaciens Smith & Townsend. Nevertheless, despite a long tradition of use of the above species, and others,…
