Studies in Natural Products Chemistry

Chapter 7. Lessons from the Sea: Distribution, SAR, and Molecular Mechanisms of Anti-inflammatory Drugs from Marine Organisms

By: David M. Pereira,Patrícia Valentão,Paula B. Andrade

Marine organisms have been increasingly regarded as excellent sources of new drugs for human therapeutics due to their remarkable chemistry, which, in turn, is reflected in their wide range of biological applications, including cancer, inflammation, infection, and pain. In the past 20 years, several new drugs have been discovered, some of them with novel pharmacological targets and the first sea-derived approved medicines are now paving their way into the market. In this chapter, we will focus on small-molecule drugs obtained from marine animals (sponges, gorgonians, mollusks, echinoderms) for the treatment of inflammation. The distribution of these compounds by different taxonomical families will be discussed, as well as the state-of-the-art regarding their structure–activity relationship. The most important chemical classes will be presented, such as terpenes, alkaloids, among others. The most important molecular targets, including phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cyclooxygenases (COXs), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and NF-κB will be discussed.

Urgent Matters

Urgent Matters

By: Paula Rodriguez

With frenetic pace and a hypnotic plot, Urgent Matters is an essential read." --Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh An electric Argentinian thriller featuring a deadly train crash, two unidentified bodies, and a missing murder suspect--perfect for fans of Attica Locke and Steph Cha The Americans are more astute when it comes to matters like these. They say “not guilty”. They don’t say “innocent”. Because as far as innocence goes, no one can make that claim. A train crashes in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, leaving forty-three fatalities, two of which have not been identified. A prayer card of Saint Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent matters, flutters above the wreckage. Hugo, a criminal on the run for murder, is on the train. He seizes his chance to sneak out of the wreckage unsuspected, abandoning his possessions – and, he hopes, his identity – among bodies mangled beyond recognition. As the police descend on the scene, only grizzled Detective Domínguez sees a link between the crash and his murder case. Soon, he’s on Hugo’s tail. But he hasn’t banked on everything from the media to his mother-in-law getting in the way.

Interrupted Life

Experiences of Incarcerated Women in the United States

By: Rickie Solinger,Paula C. Johnson,Martha L. Raimon,Tina Reynolds,Ruby Tapia

Interrupted Life is a gripping collection of writings by and about imprisoned women in the United States, a country that jails a larger percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. This eye-opening work brings together scores of voices from both inside and outside the prison system including incarcerated and previously incarcerated women, their advocates and allies, abolitionists, academics, and other analysts. In vivid, often highly personal essays, poems, stories, reports, and manifestos, they offer an unprecedented view of the realities of women's experiences as they try to sustain relations with children and family on the outside, struggle for healthcare, fight to define and achieve basic rights, deal with irrational sentencing systems, remake life after prison; and more. Together, these powerful writings are an intense and visceral examination of life behind bars for women, and, taken together, they underscore the failures of imagination and policy that have too often underwritten our current prison system.

Historical Biogeography

An Introduction

By: Jorge CRISCI,Liliana Katinas,Paula Posadas,Jorge Vctor Crisci

Though biogeography may be simply defined--the study of the geographic distributions of organisms--the subject itself is extraordinarily complex, involving a range of scientific disciplines and a bewildering diversity of approaches. For convenience, biogeographers have recognized two research traditions: ecological biogeography and historical biogeography. This book makes sense of the profound revolution that historical biogeography has undergone in the last two decades, and of the resulting confusion over its foundations, basic concepts, methods, and relationships to other disciplines of comparative biology. Using case studies, the authors explain and illustrate the fundamentals and the most frequently used methods of this discipline. They show the reader how to tell when a historical biogeographic approach is called for, how to decide what kind of data to collect, how to choose the best method for the problem at hand, how to perform the necessary calculations, how to choose and apply a computer program, and how to interpret results.
