Uncovering the Cultivable Microbial Diversity of Costa Rican Beetles and Its Ability to Break Down Plant Cell Wall Components
(2014)
Coleopterans are the most diverse insect order described to date. These organisms have acquired an array of survival mechanisms through their evolution, including highly efficient digestive systems. Therefore, the coleopteran ...
Borrelidin Induces the Unfolded Protein Response in Oral Cancer Cells and Chop-Dependent Apoptosis
(2015)
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common cancer affecting the oral cavity, and US clinics will register about 30,000 new patients in 2015. Current treatment modalities include chemotherapy, surgery, and ...
A High-Throughput Screen Identifies a New Natural Product with Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity
(2012)
Due to the inexorable invasion of our hospitals and communities by drug-resistant bacteria, there is a pressing need for novel antibacterial agents. Here we report the development of a sensitive and robust but low-tech and ...
Efecto de extractos de artrópodos sobre la multiplicación del Toxoplasma gondii dentro de macrófagos peritoneales de ratón
(Rev. Biol. Trop. 51(2): 317-320, 2003, 2003)
Treatment of toxoplasmosis usually causes secondary effects. It is important to find active substances extracted from natural organisms. In this work we studied some arthropod extracts that have effect against Toxoplasma ...
(+)-α-copaen-8-one and other constituents from Neomirandea species
(1989)
The investigation of five Neomirandea species gave two known entclerodanes, a heliangolide, a cadinene and a new copaene derivative as well as some widespread compounds.

(1997)
Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of living material and ecological
complexes in a given area and comprises species, genetic and
ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity is not only the basis of life on earth, ...
Costa rican international cooperative biodiversity group: using insects and other arthropods in biodiversity prospecting
In: J. Rosenthal (Ed.). Drug discovery, economic development and conservation: The International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups. Pharm. Biol. Vol 37, Supplement, pp. 55-68.
(Pharmaceutical Biology 37(Supplement):55–68. 1999, 1999)
This paper describes the Costa Rican International Collaborative Biodiversity Group (ICBG), which was designed to introduce insects and other arthropods as a source of pharmaceutical compounds, and to generate knowledge ...
Ent-clerodane derivatives from chromolaena connivens
(1989)
The aerial parts of Chromolaena connivens afforded in addition to widespread compounds four ent-clerodane derivatives and two epimeric prostaglandin-like acids. A second species, C. turnariensis, only gave widespread ...
Kaurene diterpenes from Mikania vitifolia
