Herein we report on the comprehensive chemical analysis of the essential oils obtained from above- and underground parts of a previously unreported chemotype of Achillea falcata L. (Asteraceae) and, for the first time, on the biological/toxicological profile of its dominant/newly
Proliferation, differentiation and death of ovarian cells ensure orderly functioning of the female gonad during the reproductive phase, which ultimately ends with menopause in women. These processes are regulated by several mechanisms, including local signaling via neurotransmitters. Previous studies showed

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, predominant, and progressive form of dementia. The treatment of AD alters depending on the cognitive and behavioral symptoms. The utility of cholinergic replacement by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors in AD treatment has been well-documented so

Exposure to the nerve agent soman is difficult to treat due to the rapid dealkylation of the soman-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) conjugate known as aging. Oxime antidotes commonly used to reactivate organophosphate inhibited AChE are ineffective against soman, while the efficacy of
Dual submicromolar trypanocidal-antiplasmodial compounds have been identified by screening and chemical synthesis of 4-aminoquinoline-based heterodimeric compounds of three different structural classes. In Trypanosoma brucei, inhibition of the enzyme trypanothione reductase seems to be involved in the potent trypanocidal activity of
