Naphthalenones and Isocoumarins from a Costa Rican Fungus Xylariaceae sp. CR1546C
(2014)
A new naphthalenone, (R)-4,6,8-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone and a new isocoumarin, 6,8-dihydroxy-(3R)-(2-oxopropyl)-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin, together with eight related known compounds were isolated from the ...
Effect on cell growth, viability and migration of geraniol and geraniol-containing essential oil from Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) on gastric carcinoma cells
(2021)
Natural products used to treat cancer, or as leads for the development of preventive and co-adjuvant treatment strategies, are still a current approach. We studied the effect of essential oils
from the medicinal plant ...
Fungi with history: Unveiling the mycobiota of historic documents of Costa Rica
(2022-06-12)
Through nondestructive techniques, we studied the physicochemical characteristics and mycobiota of five key historic documents from Costa Rica, including the Independence Act of Costa Rica from 1821. We determined that for ...
Estrogenic and serotonergic butenolides from the leaves of Piper hispidum Swingle (Piperaceae)
(Journal of Ethnopharmacology 129(2): 220–226, 2010)
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Our previous work has demonstrated that several plants in the Piperaceae family are commonly used by the Q’eqchi Maya of Livingston, Guatemala to treat amenorrhea,
dysmenorrhea, and pain. ...
Rapid Determination of the ‘Legal Highs’ 4-MMC and 4-MEC by Spectroelectrochemistry: Simultaneous Cyclic Voltammetry and In Situ Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(2021-12-31)
The synthetic cathinones mephedrone (4-MMC) and 4-methylethcathinone (4-MEC) are
two designer drugs that represent the rise and fall effect of this drug category within the stimulants
market and are still available in ...
Direct functionalization of Mn12-(methacrylate) clusters on Si(100): surface characterization and electrochemical properties
(2016-09)
The reaction of H–terminated Si(100) with methacrylate–substituted manganese carboxylate clusters [Mn12O12{CH2C(CH3)COO}16(H2O)4], [Mn12–(methacrylate)] via hydrosilylation afforded Mn12–(methacrylate)−Si(100). The chemically ...
Parámetros físico-químicos en aguas costeras de la Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (2001-2007)
Physico-chemical parameters in coastal waters around Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (2001-2007)
(2008-11-17)
Four cruises to Isla del Coco (Cocos Island), Costa Rica, were carried out in order to gather oceanographic data
related to surface temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, Secchi disk depth, nutrient ...
Phytochemical study of endemic Costa Rican Annonaceae species Annona pittieri and Cymbopetalum costaricense
(2021)
Phytochemical profile of the Central American rainforest endemic Annonaceae species, Annona pittieri and Cymbonopetallum costaricense, were studied in search
of novel bioactive compounds. The acetogenin squamocin (1) ...
Neutral organic redox pairs based on sterically hindered hydroquinone/benzoquinone derivatives for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-06)
Substituted derivatives of hydroquinone/benzoquinone were studied as organic redox mediators in the electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Thus, di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTHQ), thymohydroquinone (ThymHQ) and ...
Soil Fungal Community Composition Correlates with Site-Specific Abiotic Factors, Tree Community Structure, and Forest Age in Regenerating Tropical Rainforests
(2021)
Successional dynamics of plants and animals during tropical forest regeneration have been thoroughly studied, while fungal compositional dynamics during tropical forest succession remain unknown, despite the crucial roles ...
