Absence of CeCl3-detectable peroxisomal glycolate-oxidase activity in developing raphide crystal idioblasts in leaves of Psychotria punctata Vatke and roots of Yucca torreyi L.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three peroxisomal enzymes, glycolate oxidase, urate oxidase and catalase were localized cytochemically in Psychotria punctata (Rubiaceae) leaves and Yucca torreyi (Agavaceae) seedling root tips, both of which contain developing and mature calcium-oxalate raphide crystal idioblasts. Glycolate-oxidase

The use of chemometrics to study multifunctional indole alkaloids from Psychotria nemorosa (Palicourea comb. nov.). Part II: Indication of peaks related to the inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase-A.

Only registered users can translate articles

Psychotria nemorosa is chemically characterized by indole alkaloids and displays significant inhibitory activity on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A), both enzymes related to neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, 43 samples of P. nemorosa leaves were extracted

Multifunctional Monoamine Oxidases and Cholinesterases Inhibitory Effects, as well as UPLC-DAD-MS Chemical Profile of Alkaloid Fractions Obtained from Species of the Palicoureeae Tribe.

Only registered users can translate articles

In the present study, the effects were evaluated of alkaloid fractions (AFs) from Psychotria species and correlated genera, Palicourea and Rudgea, on monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and cholinesterases (ChEs). By HPLC-DAD and UPLC-DAD-MS analyses, indole alkaloids (IA) were detected in all AFs. For the

Monoamine oxidase inhibition by monoterpene indole alkaloids and fractions obtained from Psychotria suterella and Psychotria laciniata.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alkaloid fractions of Psychotria suterella (SAE) and Psychotria laciniata (LAE) as well as two monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) isolated from these fractions were evaluated against monoamine oxidases (MAO-A and -B) obtained from rat brain mitochondria. SAE and LAE were analysed by HPLC-PDA and

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors in South American hallucinogenic plants: tryptamine and beta-carboline constituents of ayahuasca.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic beverage derived by boiling the bark of the Malpighiaceous liana Banisteriopsis caapi together with the leaves of various admixture plants, viz. Psychotria viridis, Psychotria carthagenensis , or Diplopterys cabrerana . B. caapi contains harmine, harmaline, and

Indole alkaloids of Psychotria as multifunctional cholinesterases and monoamine oxidases inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thirteen Psychotria alkaloids were evaluated regarding their interactions with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and monoamine oxidases A and B (MAO-A and MAO-B), which are enzymatic targets related with neurodegenerative diseases. Two quaternary β-carboline alkaloids,

Antioxidant and antimutagenic effects of the crude foliar extract and the alkaloid brachycerine of Psychotria brachyceras.

Only registered users can translate articles

The monoterpene indole alkaloid brachycerine from Psychotria brachyceras has been shown to be induced by UV and to have in vitro antioxidant activity, indicating a possible protective role against the secondary effects of this radiation. In this work, we have studied the antioxidant properties of

Antioxidant and antimutagenic properties of the monoterpene indole alkaloid psychollatine and the crude foliar extract of Psychotria umbellata Vell.

Only registered users can translate articles

Psychollatine is a monoterpene indole alkaloid produced and accumulated by Psychotria umbellata Vell. (Rubiaceae) leaves in relatively high amounts (approximately 3% of the dry weight). The alkaloid has been shown to display opioid-like analgesic, anxiolytic, antidepressive and antipsychotic

Early changes in gene expression induced by acute UV exposure in leaves of Psychotria brachyceras, a bioactive alkaloid accumulating plant.

Only registered users can translate articles

UV-B radiation can damage biomolecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, halting essential cellular processes; this damage is partly due to ROS generation. Plant secondary metabolites may protect against UV-B. Psychotria brachyceras Müll. Arg. (Rubiaceae), a subtropical shrub, produces brachycerine,

Bioactive Azepine-Indole Alkaloids from Psychotria nemorosa.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phytochemical investigation of the alkaloid extract of the aerial parts of Psychotria nemorosa led to the isolation and characterization of 10 azepine-indole alkaloids, i.e., cimitrypazepine (1), fargesine (2), nemorosines A (3), and B (12), nemorosinosides A-F

Strictosidinic acid, isolated from Psychotria myriantha Mull. Arg. (Rubiaceae), decreases serotonin levels in rat hippocampus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Psychotria is a complex genus whose neotropical species are known by the presence of glucosidic monoterpene indole alkaloids. These compounds are able to display a large range of effects on the central nervous system, such as anxiolytic, antidepressant, analgesic, and impairment of learning and

Indole alkaloids and semisynthetic indole derivatives as multifunctional scaffolds aiming the inhibition of enzymes related to neurodegenerative diseases--a focus on Psychotria L. Genus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Indole alkaloids and synthetic indole derivatives are well known for their therapeutic importance. In fact, preclinical and clinical studies had already demonstrated several pharmacological activities for these compounds. Here, we overview the multifunctional potential of these molecules for the

Alkaloids from psychotria target sirtuins: in silico and in vitro interaction studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Epigenetic enzymes such as histone deacetylases play a crucial role in the development of ageing-related diseases. Among the 18 histone deacetylase isoforms found in humans, class III histone deacetylases, also known as sirtuins, seem to be promising targets for treating neurodegenerative

Effect of light intensity on partitioning of photosynthetic electron transport to photorespiration in four subtropical forest plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Photosynthetic rate (P(n)) and the partitioning of noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport to photorespiration (J(O)) in seedlings of four subtropical woody plants growing at three light intensities were studied in the summer time by measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and CO(2) exchange.
