Abstract
Aporphine alkaloids, characterized by a heterocyclic aromatic basic skeleton, are known from different organisms and exhibit various biological activities: anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory etc. The review gives information which provides an overview of the latest progress in the structural diversity and the biological activity of the aporphine alkaloids with their derivatives isolated from natural resource in recent years. Additionally, the synthetic approaches of aporphine alkaloids have also been reviewed.
Keywords: Aporphine alkaloid, structure, biological activity, synthetic route, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-microbial.

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

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
