Abstract
The focus of this review is the influence of an immunosuppressive xenobiotic drug mycophenolic acid on the induction of nitric oxide production in various cell types. The potential therapeutic significance of the cell-specific fine-tuning of nitric oxide release by mycophenolic acid, as well as the mechanisms behind the drug action are discussed.

Biodiversity, Ethnopharmacology, Biotechnology, Bioclimatology and Scientific Education Applied to Toxicology and One Health
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are represented by a group of distinct illnesses that affect the most vulnerable segment of the population, negatively impacting the Economy and Public Health. For example, like snakebite, leishmaniasis disproportionately affects vulnerable populations in tropical and subtropical regions. The search for safe drugs against various diseases ...read more
Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
