Mitochondrial complex I dysfunction induced by cocaine and cocaine plus morphin...
Cunha-Oliveira, Teresa; Silva, Lisbeth; Silva, Ana Maria; Moreno, António J.; Oliveira, Catarina R.; Santos, Maria S.Mitochondrial function and energy metabolism are affected in brains of human cocaine abusers. Cocaine is known to induce mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac and hepatic tissues, but its effects on brain bioenergetics are less documented. Furthermore, the combination of cocaine and opioids (speedball) was also shown to induce mitochondrial dysfunction. In this work, we compared the effects of cocaine and/or mor...
Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity: From Bioenergetic Failure and Cell Death to...
Carvalho, Filipa S.; Burgeiro, Ana; Garcia, Rita; Moreno, Antonio J.; Carvalho, Rui A.; Oliveira, Paulo J.Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anticancer anthracycline that presents a dose-dependent and cumulative cardiotoxicity as one of the most serious side effects. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain DOX cardiac side effects, which culminate in the development of life-threatening cardiomyopathy. One of the most studied mechanisms involves the activation of DOX molecule into a more reactive semiquinone by mitoch...
In vitro surfactant structure-toxicity relationships: implications for surfacta...
Inácio, Ângela S; Mesquita, Katia A; Jordão, Luísa; Santos, Maria S; Moreno, António J M; Vaz, Winchil L C; Vieira, Otília VSexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major public-health problem worldwide. According to the World Health Organization there are 340 million new cases of bacterial and protozoal STIs (Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis) per year. The direct treatment costs and serious perinatal collateral damage caused by STIs represent hefty financial and social burdens, particularly in developing countr...

Comparative effects of three 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives [OSI-1210, OSI-121...
Fernandes, Maria A. S.; Pereira, Susana P. S.; Jurado, Amália S.; Custódio, José B. A.; Santos, Maria S.; Moreno, António J. M.; Duburs, GunarsThe 1,4-dihydropyridines OSI-1210, OSI-1211 (etaftoron), and OSI-3802 are compounds with similar chemical structure. They differ by the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and 5 of the dihydropyridine (DHP) ring and by their pharmacological action characteristics. However, as far as we know, a clear relationship between the effects of these compounds and the length of the alkoxyl chain in positions 3 and...

Mitochondria as the target for mildronate's protective effects in azidothymidin...
Pupure, Jolanta; Fernandes, Maria A. S.; Santos, Maria S.; Moreno, António J. M.; Kalvinsh, Ivars; Klusa, Vija; Oliveira, Catarina R.Previously mildronate, an aza-butyrobetaine derivative, was shown to be a cytoprotective drug, through its mechanism of action of inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1, thus protecting mitochondria from long-chain fatty acid accumulation and subsequent damage. Recently in an azidothymidine (AZT)-induced cardiotoxicity model in vivo (in mice), we have found mildronate's ability of protecting heart tissu...
Unaltered hepatic oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial permeability tran...
Moreno, António J.; Oliveira, Paulo J.; Nova, Carlos D.; Álvaro, Ana R.; Moreira, Renata A.; Santos, Sandra M. D.; Macedo, TiceNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been associated with hepatotoxicity in susceptible patients. One such example is nimesulide, a preferential cyclooxygenase 2-inhibitor, widely used for the treatment of inflammation and pain. It was suggested that nimesulide could exert its hepatotoxicity by altering hepatic mitochondrial function, which was demonstrated in vitro. The objective of this study was to veri...
Mitochondrially targeted effects of berberine [Natural Yellow 18, 5,6-dihydro-9...
Pereira, Gonçalo C.; Branco, Ana F.; Matos, Júlio A. C.; Pereira, Sandro L.; Parke, Donna; Perkins, Edward L.; Serafim, Teresa L.; Sardão, Vilma A.Berberine [Natural Yellow 18, 5,6-dihydro-9,10-dimethoxybenzo(g)-1,3-benzodioxolo(5,6-a)quinolizinium] is an alkaloid present in plant extracts and has a history of use in traditional Chinese and Native American medicine. Because of its ability to arrest the cell cycle and cause apoptosis of several malignant cell lines, it has received attention as a potential anticancer therapeutic agent. Previous studies sug...
Effects of hyperglycemia on sperm and testicular cells of Goto-Kakizaki and str...
Amaral, Sandra; Moreno, António J.; Santos, Maria Sancha; Seiça, Raquel; Ramalho-Santos, JoãoDiabetes mellitus is a degenerative disease that has deleterious effects on male reproductive function, possibly through an increase in oxidative stress. This study was conducted in order to clarify the mechanisms by which oxidative stress influences animal models for both type 1 (streptozotocin-treated rats, STZ) and type 2 (Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats) diabetes. We determined the extent of lipid peroxidation, pro...
