The patient was hemodynamically stable without signs of anaphylactic shock. On a physical examination, his lungs revealed scattered wheezing, and erythematous papular skin lesions were observed on his upper extr...

A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-physoperuvine, a tropane alkaloid from Physalis peruviana Linne has been developed using a one-pot tandem aza-Claisen rearrangement and ring closing metathesis reaction to form the key amino-substituted cycloheptene ring.

The genetic basis of size variation in the reproductive organs of tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica) is unknown. Here we report that the expression levels of the gene Physalis Organ Size 1 (POS1) are positively associated with size variation in P. philadelphica reproductive organs such flowers, berries and seeds. POS1 knockdown results in smaller flowers and berries with smaller cells as compar...

The study examine the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of the ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of ten selected Indian medicinal plants namely, Psidium guajava, Mangifera indica, Polyalthia longifolia, Allium cepa, Phyllanthus amarus, Thespesia populnea, Ricinus communis, Physalis angulata, Ixora coccinea, and Vinca rosea using 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay, to...

INTRODUCTION Portuguese man-of-war, Physalia physalis (Linnaeus, 1758), are cnidarians capable of discharging intracellular organelles filled with venom, resulting in severe envenomation in humans. METHODS We report the clinical and therapeutic aspects of 331 accidents involving Portuguese man-of-war in an outbreak on the coast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS The clinical manifes...

ABSTRACT: Physalisperuviana L. (physalis) has significant economic potential by virtue of the unique flavor its fruit. However, productivity Brazilian plantations is low because limited number varieties or cultivars available. The main obstacle in selection superior genotypes lack information about genetic variability within- and between- populations basis that likely resulted from evolutionary...

physalis angulata is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of malaria, ulcer, pains and other diverse ailments. the present study evaluated the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic leaf extract of the plant. acetic acid-induced abdominal contraction or writhing analgesic models in swiss albino mice (13-23g) were used for studying analgesic activity of the leaf extract. 200,...
