Reconstructing the aquatic plant landscape of the Renaissance (Po Plain, N-Italy) according to the Erbario Aldrovandi (1551–1586)

Historical herbaria allow previous flora to be reconstructed and to understand long-term environmental changes. By using Ulisse Aldrovandi’s herbarium, one of the oldest of Europe, we attempted to reconstruct historical plant communities at the habitat level, selecting the ancient wetland system of Valle Padusa (SE Po Plain, northern Italy) as a case study, which has now disappeared due to land reclamation and development. We analysed 85 specimens (belonging to 54 species) collected by Aldrov...

In Silico, In Vitro, and In Vivo Antinociceptive Potential of S-Naproxen Derivatives

Selected naproxen derivatives were investigated for their antinociceptive effects, using in vitro (COX-I/COX-II antagonistic effect), in vivo (acetic acid and hot plate assay), and in silico (molecular simulation studies) approaches. The COX inhibition studies revealed that the maximum percent effect exhibited by GMO-I-111a 96.01 and 92% against COX-2 and COX-1, respectively, at higher concentrations. The effect at minimum concentration was 81 and 77% against COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Th...
