Ebola is a disease caused by viruses of the ebolavirus genus that cause hemorrhagic fever with high human mortality. Symptoms of the infection include fever, headache, joint pain, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Unfortunately, there is still no effective treatment for this disease. This work aimed to perform a virtual screening of candidates with EBOV GP inhibition potential based on pharmacophores of 4 st...
Computational chemistry only gained international recognition after making a significant contribution to the scientific advances that resulted in Nobel prizes. With the technological evolution of the last decades, software was created with the aim of studying, investigating and understanding chemical processes at the molecular level of experimental studies. This promoted research agility and reduced costs with ...
Cadmium is a toxic metal from 12th group and 5th period of the periodic table. It’s common its use in batteries manufacturing and metal alloys production. It is absorbed by the organism of animals and plants causing risks to human health by bioaccumulation. Even with proven levels of toxicity, complexes involving this atom have biological activity according to several studies. As a study methodology, data were ...
O cádmio é um metal tóxico do 12º grupo e 5º período da tabela periódica. É comum seu uso na fabricação de baterias e produção de ligas metálicas. É absorvido pelo organismo de animais e plantas causando riscos à saúde humana por bioacumulação. Mesmo com níveis comprovados de toxicidade, complexos envolvendo esse átomo apresentam atividade biológica de acordo com diversos estudos. Como metodologia de estudo, fo...
A series of drugs was investigated to determine structural, electronic and pharmacological properties, as well as the molecular affinity for the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The drugs were submitted to density functional theory calculations to optimize structures and predict binding preferences. The optimized geometries were used in molecular docking simulations...
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease that affects both animals and humans, caused by flagellated parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. The disease is estimated to reach about 700,000 to 1 million people, causing the deaths of 20 to 30,000 individuals annually. Thus, the present study aims to perform molecular docking tests and evaluation of antileishmania activity in vitro of a ruthenium complex with e...
A Leishmaniose é uma doença infecciosa que ocasiona a morte de 26.000 a 65.000 pessoas anualmente, estima-se que no ano de 2019 houve 700.000 a 1 milhão de novos casos. Estes dados são preocupantes e está relacionado à falta de saneamento básico que favorece a proliferação dos vetores, além da ausência de medicamentos eficientes com mecanismos de ação alternativos e com menos efeitos colaterais. Em meio a essa ...
