Island Of Memory

Growing Up in Cuba Before the Revolution

By: Roberto Diego Lopez,Virginia Croft Lopez

THIS warm, sometimes funny, and deeply emotional memoir tells what it was like growing up more than half a century ago in pre-Castro Cuba. Roberto López recounts a very personal story of family, school experiences, and friendships. He relates what it was like to be Cuban and what Cuba—in those days—looked and felt like: the streets of old Havana and his lively neighborhood where streetcars were so crowded passengers might have to climb on top, where peddlers plied everything from fish to sweets, and where men gathered in the bodegas to play dice on shiny mahogany counters while drinking beer or downing cup after cup of hot, black, sweet, and wickedly strong coffee. López wrote Island of Memory primarily as a tribute to a people and a place but he also tells what it was like when things ruptured—when the communists took over— and made it impossible for him to stay, or to return.

Chapter 9. Bioprospection of Potential Trypanocidal Drugs: A Scientific Literature Survey over the Period 2000–2010

By: Liliana V. Muschietti,Valeria P. Sülsen,Virginia S. Martino

American trypanosomiasis is a widespread protozoal infection that affects the poorest and the most disadvantaged populations in the developing world. There is a lack of effective, affordable, and safe medicines for its treatment, mainly due to the low investment in R&D by the pharmaceutical industry. One alternative approach for the development of new drugs is the identification of bioactive natural compounds, which are particularly important for their structural diversity and their potential as novel pharmacophores. In this chapter, an overview of the investigations concerning the trypanocidal activity of plants, published over the period (2000–2010), will be presented. Either medicinal plants or isolated compounds will be considered. Data will be discussed under a critical point of view in relation with the challenge that implicates a drug discovery process from natural sources. The review will be focused on analyzing those published data dealing with the identification of new lead structures aimed at “bringing a drug to market.”
