Malaria is a disease that affects many people in the world. In Mexico, malaria remains an active disease in certain regions, particularly in the states of Chiapas and Chihuahua. While antimalarial effects have been attributed to some species of Cecropia in various countries, no such studies have been conducted in Mexico. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in silico antimalarial activity of some active compounds identified according to the literature in the species of Cecropia obtusifolia, belonging to the Cecropiaceae family, such as ursolic acid, α-amyrin, chrysin, and isoorientin. These compounds were evaluated with specific molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) studies using three different malarial targets with the PDB codes 1CET, 2BL9, and 4ZL4 as well as the prediction of their pharmacokinetic (Pk) properties. Docking analysis revealed the following best binding energies (kcal/mol): isoorientin–1CET (−9.1), isoorientin–2BL9 (−8.8), and chrysin–4ZL4 (−9.6). MD simulation validated the stability of the complexes. Pharmacokinetics analysis suggested that the compounds would generally perform well if administered. Therefore, these results suggest that these compounds may be used as potential drugs for the treatment of malaria.

Malaria is a disease that affects many people in the world. In Mexico, malaria is still a disease with active zones, especially in the states of Chiapas and southern Chihuahua where several communities are affected year after year. According to previous studies, a moderate antimalarial effect has been attributed to some Cecropia species in several countries, such as Brazil, Panama, and Colombia. To date in Mexico, no studies have evaluated the possible antimalarial activity of Cecropia Obtisifolia Bertol. The objective of the present study was to identify the main metabolites present in the acetonic extract of C. Obtusifolia and to evaluate their possible antimalarial activity in silico analysis. An acetonic extraction of C. Obtusifolia leaves was performed using Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography HPLC, and the main compounds were identified. The identified compounds were evaluated with specific molecular docking studies using four different malarial targets with the PDB codes 1CET, 1PZ4, 2BL9, and 4ZL4; the evaluation was performed using AutodockVina and visualized using LigPlot and PyMOL. From the acetone extract, the compounds were found to be ursolic acid, α-amyrin, chrysin, and isoorientin using TLC and HPLC. The docking studies showed that the ligands docked well with the targets, resulting in the following strongest binding energies between the ligands and the targets (kcal/mol): isoorientin–1CET (−9.1), chrysin–1PZ4 (9.6 kcal/mol), isoorientin–2BL9 (−8.8), and chrysin–4ZL4 (−9.6). These binding affinities were stronger than the control ligands. An analysis of the results suggests that isoorientin and chrysin could act as anti-malarial agents.

The objective of this work was to collect information on the curative use of plants in the municipality of Teziutlán, Puebla through semi-structured interviews. Thus, 78 plants used for medicinal purposes were identified, of which 40 are native to Mexico and 38 introduced; The value of use (UV) of each one and the Informant's Consensus Factor (FCI) of 10 categories of diseases were calculated. The five most frequently used plants are Ruta chalepensisL., Rosmarinus officinalis, Arnica montana, Loeselia mexicana(Lam.) Brandegee and Sambucus ceruleavar., Neomexicana, which underwent a chemical and pharmacological review. On the other hand, the most frequent preparations are infusion and decoction, using mainly leaves (49.34%) and flowers (19.51%). It is concluded that the inhabitants of Teziutlán have a fairly homogeneous ethnomedical knowledge, setting the standard for research on its pharmacological properties.

Prácticamente todos hemos necesitado de la administración de algún antibiótico para recuperarnos de cierta infección. Estas sustancias han sido vanagloriadas desde el inicio de su descubrimiento, con ellas nuestra esperanza de vida se ha incrementado de manera significativa y difícilmente nos podríamos imaginar el curso de la humanidad sin su presencia. Sin embargo, no todo es miel sobre hojuelas y, en muchos casos, lo que en un principio eran nuestros aliados, actualmente están dejando de ser útiles contra muchas especies bacterianas. Esta situación se ha generado por ciertos mecanismos de resistencia en las bacterias, básicamente debido a la mutación de algunos de sus genes y su transferencia entre ellas. Si la tendencia continúa y no hacemos algo, nos quedaremos sin armas para defendernos de los microorganismos que nos afectan, ¡regresando a las condiciones en las que nos encontrábamos hace casi 70 años!, con una esperanza de vida menor y elevadas probabilidades de padecer epidemias que en estos días aún podemos controlar. En este artículo se presentan una descripción de la situación, los mecanismos que causan la resistencia, así como algunas recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), todo ello con la finalidad de hacer conciencia sobre el uso de antibióticos con un fundamento claro.

El internet, los teléfonos inteligentes, las aplicaciones móviles y la nueva forma de comunicarnos han cambiado la manera en que vivimos a nivel mundial. Se estima que nueve de cada diez personas cuentan con un teléfono móvil con capacidad de proveer aplicaciones, y que éstas se encuentren conectadas a internet. Lo anterior ha generado una alta demanda para el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles y, por ende, empresas como como Facebook están tomando ventaja de ello al crear librerías que permitan a todos los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones móviles de forma rápida y sencilla. Con la creación de la librería de React Native, Facebook ha comenzado a generar mayor interés entre la gente para que utilicen sus tecnologías. React Native permite crear aplicaciones móviles usando sólo JavaScript. Para los desarrolladores web esto es de mucha ayuda debido a que no necesitan aprender un nuevo lenguaje de programación para incursionar en el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles. Con React Native no se crea una aplicación web móvil, una aplicación html5 o una aplicación híbrida, se crea una aplicación móvil nativa que no se distingue fácilmente de entre una aplicación nativa hecha con Java para Android o con Objetive C para ios. Actualmente React Native se utiliza para el desarrollo de diferentes aplicaciones móviles de uso diario, como redes sociales, en las que destacan Facebook, Instagram y Uber Eats entre otras.
