A green strategy and cost-effective approach was adapted to prepare Zinc oxide quantum dots (ZnO QDs) for biomedical applications. The prepared ZnO QDs may hold great promise as sensing scanners diagnostics therapy, demonstrated in our current study. sulfate, Azadirachta indica, Aloe vera gel Catharanthus roseus leaves extract were used synthesize a novel natural bionanocomposite BC) precursor ...

The (seco)iridoids and their derivatives, the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), form two large families of plant-derived bioactive compounds with a wide spectrum of high-value pharmacological and insect-repellent activities. Vinblastine and vincristine, MIAs used as anticancer drugs, are produced by Catharanthus roseus in extremely low levels, leading to high market prices and poor availab...

Dentre os táxons botânicos que apresentam um alto potencial farmacológico, está a família Apocynaceae Juss.. Com isso, este trabalho teve como objetivo traçar características farmacológicas, fitoquímicas e indicações terapêuticas de três espécies da supracitada. Referente à espécie Allamanda cathartica L. (dedal-de-princesa), dados mostram suas folhas seu látex são utilizados para o tratamento ...

Catharanthus roseus produces low levels of two dimeric terpenoid indole alkaloids, vinblastine and vincristine, which are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. The dimerization reaction leading to alpha-3',4'-anhydrovinblastine is a key regulatory step for the production of the anticancer alkaloids in planta and has potential application in the industrial production of two semisynthetic derivativ...

Comparative co-expression analysis of multiple species using high-throughput data is an integrative approach to determine the uniformity as well as diversification in biological processes. Rauvolfia serpentina and Catharanthus roseus, both members of Apocyanacae family, are reported to have remedial properties against multiple diseases. Despite of sharing upstream of terpenoid indole alkaloid p...

Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, a medicinal plant, has a very important place in the traditional as well as modern pharmaceutical industry. Two common varieties of this plant rosea and alba are named so because of pink and white coloured flowers, respectively. This plant comprises of about 130 terpenoid indole alkaloids and two of them, vincristine and vinblastine, are common anticancer drugs....
