Walker 256 Tumor Growth Suppression by Crotoxin Involves Formyl Peptide Receptors and Lipoxin A4 by Patrícia Brigatte, Odair Jorge Faiad, Roberta Cornélio Ferreira Nocelli, Richardt G. Landgraf, Mario Sergio Palma, Yara Cury, Rui Curi, Sandra Coccuzzo Sampaio

“…The treatment with CTX raised plasma concentrations of lipoxin A4 and its natural analogue 15-epi-LXA4, an effect mediated by formyl peptide receptors (FPRs). In fact, the treatment with Boc-2, an inhibitor of FPRs, abolished the increase in plasma levels of these mediators triggered by CTX. …”

Evaluation of the Synergistic Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils and Cecropin A Natural Peptide on Gram-Negative Bacteria by Filippo Fratini, Chiara Pecorini, Ilaria Resci, Emma Copelotti, Francesca Paola Nocera, Basma Najar, Simone Mancini

“…In light of these considerations, the synergistic use of essential oils and Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) seems a viable strategy. In this study, we assessed the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) of three Essential Oils (EOs): winter savory (<i>Satureja montana</i>), bergamot (<i>Citrus bergamia</i>) and cinnamon (<i>Cinnamomum zeylanicum</i>) and of the insect antimicrobial peptide Cecropin A (CecA), alone and in combination with EOs, against two Gram-negative ATCC bacterial strains: <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serovar Typhimurium. …”
