Melanoma is a tumor originated in melanocytes predisposed to the accumulation of DNA damage, resulting in genetic mutations that favor its malignancy, such as the stimulation of blood vessel growth, immune response evasion, tumor invasion and metastasis. Although potentially curable sometimes, malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of cancer, with a high mortality resistance development…
Literature data have shown that psycotropic drugs derived from phenothiazines present antitumor activity. Working with isolated rat liver mitochondria, we previously showed that phenothiazine derivatives induced the mitochondrial permeability transition associated with cytochrome c release. After, we established the cytotoxic potential of different phenothiazine derivatives and determined…
Plantago major L. produces several chemical substances with anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities and its use in the treatment of oral and throat inflammation in popular medicine is well described. In this study, the antioxidant potential of the Plantago major hydroethanolic extract was screened and its protective action was evaluated against t-BOOH-induced oxidative stress. The extr…

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world and its incidence is continually increasing. Although the therapeutic arsenal for cancer treatment has significantly improved in recent decades, several challenges remain in this area, including the unresponsiveness of some tumor types, resistance against the currently available drugs, besides the high toxicity to normal cells. Thu…
Cancer is a worldwide occurrence disease, which is considered a public health problem since it is the leading cause of population death. In 2007, it was registered 7.9 millions of deaths caused by this disease and the expectations for the next years are an increase in this number. Data indicates that will occur at least 12 millions of deaths until the year of 2030. The costs with cancer t…
The pathogenesis of neuronal disorders has been associated to the cell death with involvement of oxidative stress. The increase in the mitochondrial free radical production, persistent changes in the mitochondrial integrity (mitochondrial permeability transition, MPT) and mitochondrial depolarization seem to play central role. In this project it will be studied the effects of three psycho…
Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae), known as Neem, is used as therapeutic alternative in folk medicine. Recent works have shown that Neem extracts are able to promote uncoupling of the oxidative phosphorylation and decrease of ATP levels in mitochondria associated to its cytotoxicity. Moreover, other studies described the antioxidant acitivity of Neem. In this work the effects of Neem oil see…

Literature data have shown that psycotropic drugs derived from phenothiazines present antitumor activity. Data from our group have evidenced relevant biological effects of phenothiazines and its analogues in mitochondria, and these effects may be related to the drug capability of inducing cell death. Among the studied phenothiazine derivatives in all models studied, thioridazine was the m…
