Differential expression on mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidase (mTcTXNPx) in ...
Kohatsu,Andréa A.N.; Silva,Flávia A.J.; Francisco,Acácio I.; Rimoldi,Aline; Silva,Marco T.A.; Vargas,Maria D.; Rosa,João A. da; Cicarelli,Regina M.B.Abstract Resistance to benznidazole in certain strains of Trypanosoma cruzi may be caused by the increased production of enzymes that act on the oxidative metabolism, such as mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidase which catalyses the reduction of peroxides. This work presents cytotoxicity assays performed with ferrocenyl diamine hydrochlorides in six different strains of T. cruzi epimastigote forms (Y, Bolivia, ...
Theoretical studies of the tautomerism in 3-(2-R-Phenylhydrazono)-naphthalene- ...
Francisco,Acácio I.; Vargas,Maria D.; Fragoso,Thaís P.; Carneiro,J. Walkimar de M.; Casellato,Annelise; Silva,Fernando de C. da; Ferreira,Vitor F.DFT calculations using the B3LYP and PBE1PBE functionals with the standard 6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis sets were carried out for the 3-(2-phenylhydrazone)-naphthalene-1,2,4-trione system in solution (dmso) and in the gas phase, and showed the keto-hydrazone forms (rotamers Ia and Ib) to be more stable than the enol-azo forms (rotamers IIa and IIb, by about 14 kcal mol-1) and III (by approximately 6 kcal mo...
