The sugar maple is a native species of northeastern North America and is widely appreciated and exploited for its sap, which is concentrated to produce maple syrup. However, its bark is not widely used, despite its content of a variety of bioactive compounds which could be applied in health products. Apart from polyphenols, higher molecular weight compounds such as oligo- and polysaccharides have been less explored so far. The aim of this investigation was to isolate and characterize a complex s...

Leaves of Croton linearis, known as “rosemary”, are widely used in folk medicine in Caribbean countries to treat fever and colds (associated to infections), that’s why in the present work we accomplish to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of extracts and fractions derived from C. linearis leaves. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation of compounds from an ethanolic extract of C. linearis, using flash chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC-DAD-MS (High Performance Liquid Chromat...

Viruses are the etiological agents of numerous diseases of importance to human and animal health. There is a need to seek for less toxic antiviral drugs, with more than one mechanism of action that prevents the emergence of resistance, as well as being accessible to the population in need. The Cuban flora has a wide biodiversity and species richness, whose biological activities are not completely characterized. Among them stands out the genus Phyllanthus, which has been used in the Traditional M...

OPTIMIZATION OF FLAVONOIDS EXTRACTION FROM ANNONA MURICATA L. LEAVES

  • Restaurante "El Tesico"

Introduction: Annona muricata L. (soursop) is used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of various diseases. Leaves of this species have been found to contain flavonoids, which are compounds with antidiabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: optimization of operational parameters on the solid–liquid extraction of flavonoids from A. muricata leaves. Methods: Evaluation of the operational variables was based on Composite Center Design (CCD) of Response surface methodology (R...

Targeting ovarian cancer cell cytotoxic drug resistance phenotype with Xanthium strumarium L extract

  • Restaurante "El Tesico"

Background: Emerging drugs aim at targeting the genomic integrity and replication machinery in ovarian cancer. Whereas the antiproliferative activity of Xanthium strumarium L extract (XFC) was recently attributed to alterations in the mitotic apparatus of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) epithelial cells. XFC capacity to target ovarian cancer cells is unknown. Purpose: Here, we first tested whether XFC impacted on human breast (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), colorectal (HT-29, C2BBe1) and ovarian cancer cells p...
