Nephroprotective and anti-inflammatory potential of aqueous extract from Persea americana seeds against cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats
This study aims at investigating the ability of aqueous extract of Persea americana seeds (AEPA) in ameliorating the toxic effects of cadmium in the kidneys of cadmium-exposed Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were grouped into five, of six animals each. Different groups of animals received normal saline (control group), 200 mg/kg body weight AEPA, 400 mg/kg AEPA, and standard drug, Livolin Forte, respectively. A last group of animals was left untreated. To induce toxicity, all animals, except the control group, were exposed to cadmium (200 mg/L, as CdCl2) in their main drinking water for 21 days. Biochemical analysis of serum...

γ-Lactones from Persea americana and Persea fulva -in vitro and in silico evaluation of Trypanosoma cruzi activity
Chem Biodivers. 2021 Jul 12. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202100362. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, five known γ-lactones (majoranolide B - 1 , majorenolide - 2 , majorynolide - 3 , lincomolide D - 4 , and isolinderanolide E - 5 ), as well as a new one (perseanolide - 6 ), were isolated from Persea fulva and P. americana . All isolated compounds exhibited potential activity against trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi , whereas compounds 2 (EC 50 of 4.8 μM) and 6 (EC 50 of 3.6 µM) displayed superior activity than the positive control benznidazole (EC 50 of 16.4 µM), with selectivity index (SI) values of ...
