- 1 May 2000
This work extracted, purified and characterized 8 sesquiterpene fractions from Commyphora molmol that showed antibacterial and antifungal activity against standard pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans, and had local anaesthetic activity, blocking the inward sodium current of excitable mammalian membranes.

The consequence of the surface modifications of the platelets could explain the thrombocytopenia that frequently occurs in patients infected with HIV and suggests also the possibility that Platelets could be a vehicle for the virus in the circulation.
Calcareous chitin: a novel low-cost sorbent for cadmium (II)

This research deals on a new lowcost porous sorbent named calcareous chitin (CaCh). CaCh is prepared by alkaline treatment of crustacean exoskeleton to produce a porous matrix of chitin and…

A further finding supporting the work hypothesis is that the addition of nicotinamide, a reaction product of CD38, confers to MT-4 cells (mCD38low) partial protection against acute cell death from HIV-1.
Expression of fibronectin and its receptor in some tumour cell lines and in HIV‐1‐infected cells

- 1 June 1996
A high variability of FN and FNR expression was demonstrated among the various cellular lines studied, and deficits of such adhesive proteins did not necessarily correlate with a severe reduction of the corresponding receptor.
In vitro inhibitory activity of citreoviridin against HIV-1 and an HIV-associated opportunist: Candida albicans.

- 1 October 1996
It is possible to hypothesize that the effects of citreoviridin may be due to a reduction of protein synthesis, since it inhibited the replication of HIV-1 at post-integrational stages and reduced the intracellular RNA and protein content in C. albicans.
Effect of Aspergillus terreus mycotoxins on nitric oxide synthase activity in human erythroid K‐562 cells
- A. Pugliese, A. Savarino, V. Vidotto, C. Cantamessa, G. Pescarmona
- BiologyCell Biochemistry and Function
- 1 March 1999
It is reported that a crude extract of A. terreus induces cellular damage and increases NOS activity in K‐562 cells, an erythroleukaemic cell line in which NOS is particularly active, and suggests that NOS may be involved in mycotoxicoses.

- 1 February 1995
An increased 3H thymidine incorporation was noted on infected cells treated with Aspergillus terreus alcohol extract and this effect may suggest an intracellular accumulation of viral DNA in the absence or reduction of virion production.
