Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of N-oxide derivatives with potent in vivo antileishmanial activity
(PLoS ONE, 2021) [Artigo]Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that affects 12 million people living mainly in developing countries. Herein, 24 new N-oxide-containing compounds were synthesized followed by in vitro and in vivo evaluation of their ... -
Drk1, a dimorphism histidine kinase, contributes to morphology, virulence, and stress adaptation in paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(Journal of Fungi, 2021) [Artigo]P. brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus belonging to Paracoccidioides complex, causative of a systemic, endemic mycosis limited to Latin American countries. Signal transduc-tion pathways related to important aspects ... -
Natural Products with Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Tumor Cells
(Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and their Components, 2013) [Capítulo de livro]Multidrug resistance is the main mechanism by which cancers develop resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. Consequently, it is also an important factor in the failure of many forms of chemotherapy. This review describes the ... -
Expression signatures of DNA repair genes correlate with survival prognosis of astrocytoma patients
(Tumor Biology, 2017) [Artigo]Astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumors. They are very resistant to therapies and usually progress rapidly to high-grade lesions. Here, we investigated the potential role of DNA repair genes in astrocytoma ... -
Immunohistochemical expression of p16INK4a and bcl-2 according to HPV type and to the progression of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions
(Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, 2005) [Artigo]Inactivation of the cell cycle inhibitor gene p16MTS1 seems to be involved in human papillomavirus (HPV)-related carcinogenesis because E6 and E7 oncoproteins may impair p16INK4a and, indirectly, bcl-2 functions. In this ... -
Performance of selective and differential media in the primary isolation of yeasts from different biological samples
(Mycopathologia, 2004) [Artigo]In view of the increase in yeast infections, especially polymicrobial ones, differential culture media have acquired increasing importance. The present study evaluated the Sabouraud chloramphenicol, Biggy agar, Pagano Levin ... -
Assessment of monocytic component in acute myelomonocytic and monocytic/monoblastic leukemias by a chemiluminescent assay
(Hematology Journal, 2003) [Artigo]Introduction: Classically, the monocytic component of acute myelomonocytic (FAB-M4) and acute monocytic/monoblastic (FAB-M5) leukemias is demonstrated by nonspecific esterase positivity in cytochemical stainings. We have ... -
Evaluation of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions in oral tumor progression
(Micron, 2002) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to compare the presence of nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in normal oral mucosa, dysplasia and microinvasive carcinoma. All histological specimens were reviewed according to the modified ... -
