The lectin DLasiL was isolated from seeds of the Dioclea lasiocarpa collected from the northeast coast of Brazil and characterized for the first time by mass spectrometry, DNA sequencing, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
The antitumor activity of DVL, a lectin purified from Dioclea violacea seeds, on the U87 human glioma cell line was evaluated and compared with Canavalia ensiformis lectin (ConA). Treatment with DVL (10-100 μg/mL; 24-96 h) induced alterations in cell morphology, decreased cell numbers and clonogenic
Plant lectins have been studied owing to their structural properties and biological effects that include agglutinating activity, antidepressant-like effect and antitumor property. The results from this work showed the effects of the lectin extracted from the Dioclea violacea plant (DVL) on the C6
