THREE-DIMENSIONAL QUANTITATIVE STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS AND DOCKING STUDIES OF SOME STRUCTURALLY DIVERSE FLAVONOIDS AND DESIGN OF NEW ALDOSE REDUCTASE INHIBITORS

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships and docking studies of some structurally diverse flavonoids and design of new aldose reductase inhibitors

Aldose reductase (AR) plays an important role in the development of several long-term diabetic complications.Inhibition of AR activities is a strategy for controlling complications arising from chronic diabetes.Several AR inhibitors have been reported in the literature.Flavonoid type compounds are shown to have significant AR inhibition.The objecti

Phytoplankton responses to an extreme drought season: A case study at two reservoirs from a semiarid region, Northeastern Brazil

The temporal phytoplankton biomass variation at two Neotropical reservoirs during an extreme drought season were analyzed.Here we sought to evaluate the main abiotic factors involved in dynamics of phytoplankton during this drought period.The main difference between the reservoirs was the intensive fish and shrimp farming in one of the Sheetmetal D
