Effects of Toona sinensis Leaf Extract and Its Chemical Constituents on Xanthine Oxidase Activity and Serum Uric Acid Levels in Potassium Oxonate-Induced Hyperuricemic Rats

Toona sinensis leaf is used as a seasonal vegetable in Korea.A 70% ethanol extract of these leaves Rear View Mirror Accessory Couple Card exhibited potent xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 78.4 µM.To investigate the compounds responsible for this effect, bioassay-guided purification led to the isol

The Dynamics of Lateral Gene Transfer in Genus Leishmania - A Route for Adaptation and Species Diversification.

BACKGROUND:The genome of Leishmania major harbours a comparably high proportion of genes of prokaryote origin, acquired by lateral gene transfer (LGT).Some of these are present in closely related trypanosomatids, while some are detected in Leishmania only.We have evaluated the impact and destiny of LGT in genus Leishmania.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIND
