Mitoxantrone (MTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent, which presents late irreversible cardiotoxicity. This work aims to highlight the mechanisms involved in the MTX-induced cardiotoxicity, namely the effects toward mitochondria using in vivo and in vitro studies. Male Wistar rats were treated with 3 cycles of 2.5 mg/kg MTX at day 0, 10, and 20. One treated group was euthanized on day 22 (MTX22) to evaluate the early...
Mitoxantrone (MTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent that emerged as an alternative to anthracycline therapy. However, MTX also causes late cardiotoxicity, being oxidative stress and mitochondrial-impaired function proposed as possible mechanisms. This work aimed to investigate the relevance of these mechanisms to the MTX toxicity in H9c2 cells, using therapeutic concentrations. The observed cytotoxicity of MTX was t...
Mitoxantrone (MTX) is an antitumor agent that causes cardiotoxicity in 18 % patients. The metabolic profile of MTX was assessed after incubation of 100 lM MTX with hepatic S9 fraction isolated from rats. The presence of MTX and its metabolites was also assessed in vivo through the analysis of liver and heart extracts of MTX-treated rats. The cytotoxic effects of MTX and MTX metabolites were evaluated in the H9c...

A psilocibina e a psilocina são alcalóides com estrutura análoga a da serotonina e reconhecida ação alucinógena, produzindo efeitos profundos em humanos, como alucinações visuais e distúrbios sensoriais. Considerando que não há relatos de estudos químicos sobre a espécie Psilocybe wrightii, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o seu conteúdo alucinógeno. Os espécimes analisados foram coletados na região de San...
