Cadmium and lead were determined by flame (SpectrAA, Varian AA 240); Mercury with cold vapor (AAnalyst 300, Perkin Elmer) and arsenic by hydridegeneration (AAnalyst 300, Perkin Elmer). Thelevelsfound in the case of the species: Tynanthus panurensis (clavo huasca), Campsiandra angustifolia (Huacapurana) Abutarufescens (abuta), Anomospermunsp. (achunisanango) and Hymnaea oblongfolia (azucar huayro) exceed the maximum limit sall owed for cadmium. None of the species studied exceeded the limit sall owed for lead. On the otherhand, Brosiun potabile (tamamuri) was the only one of the studied species that exceeds the limit sall owed for mercury. In case of arsenic,allspeciesrecordedconcentrationsabovethemaximumallowedlimits, in a rangebetween 1,7 – 8,19 μg/g. It is concluded that all the vegetal barks...

For this reason, it is necessary to explore new approaches for the development of a drug capable of inhibiting the entry of the virus into the host cell. Therefore, this work includes the exploration of potential inhibitory compounds for the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (PDB ID: 6VSB), which were obtained from The Patogen Box. Later, they were filtered through virtual screening and molecular docking techniques, thus obtaining a top of 1000 compounds, which were used against a binding site located in the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) and a cryptic site located in the N-Terminal Domain (NTD), resulting in good pharmaceutical targets for the blocking the infection. From the top 1000, the best compound (TCMDC-124223) was selected for the binding site. It inter...

Alkaloids 1-4 were isolated from the leaves, 5-8 from the stem bark and 9-15 from the root bark of A. desmanthum. Alkaloids 5, 11, 16, 17 and 19 were isolated from the stem bark, 18 and 20-22 from the root bark and 23 from the flowers of A. spruceanum. Compounds 4, 14, and 15 have not been previously reported as natural products while 16 and 20 have been isolated for the first time from the genus Aspidosperma. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR experiments (COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC). The antiparasitic activity of these compounds was tested against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum and their non-specific cytotoxicity on mammalian cells. The most active compounds were 10, 12, 13, and 14 from A. desmanthum, and 19, 21 and 22 from A. spruceanum. Aspidolimine (10) aspidocarpine (12) and tubotaiwine (21) showed selective activity against L. i...
