Ionotropic receptors mediate olfactory learning and memory in Drosophila
Phenylacetaldehyde (an IR84a-responsive aromatic compound) forms LTM with sucrose.Orco1,Ir84aMI00501, andIr8a1 confirm exclusivity of IR84a/IR8a in PAH/SUC conditioning. Results underline the involvement of IRs in facilitating a flexible behavior. AbstractPhenylacetaldehyde (PAH), an aromatic compound, is present in a diverse range of fruits including overripe bananas and prickly pear cactus, the two major host fruits forDrosophila melanogaster. PAH acts as a potent ligand for the ionotropic receptor 84a (IR84a) in the adult fruit fly and it is detected by the IR84a/IR8a heterotetrameric complex. Its role in the male court...

The potential usage of Caatinga natural products against multi-drug-resistant bacteria
Fitoterapia. 2023 Nov 20;172:105752. doi: 10.1016/j.fitote.2023.105752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNew sources of antibacterial drugs have become urgent with increasing bacterial resistance. Medicinal plants are attractive sources for antimicrobial compounds with fewer side effects and cheaper obtention. Brazil contains six biomes, including Caatinga, a semi-arid tropical vegetation exclusively from Brazil that contains over thousand vascular plant species. This review presents the potential of using Caatinga plant products to treat multidrug-resistant bacteria. This review used the keywords of antimicrobial resistance,...

Assessment of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of < em > Opuntia ficus indica < /em > L. Cladodes extract
This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the methanolic extract of Opuntia ficus indica L. in small animal (rats and mice model). The current treatment for febrile conditions often involves the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can have adverse effects, particularly gastrointestinal ulcers. Therefore, there is a growing need to explore natural alternatives with fewer side effects. The study utilized various experimental models to assess the effects of the extract. The results demonstrated a significant analgesic effect of the extract, as evidenced by a reduct...
