New and little known plant species with desirable functional properties have been reported in the literature in recent years due to a growing interest in obtaining and applying bioactive compounds and metabolites derived from their cellular structures within the context of natural and ecological medicine. Synadenyum grantii Hook, commonly known as African milker, has been used for the treatment of common and degenerative diseases in human metabolism through the extraction of its latex that has been studied for its bioactive components where the phorbol is the one that presents restorative activity and cell regenerator. In this main aspect, the latex of the African milker has shown an antineoplastic potential increase and strengthens the immune system in humans with risk factors such as cancer and / or immunosuppressive patients, for which it has received the nickname of 'plant of life' a...

Nuevas y poco conocidas especies vegetales con propiedades funcionales deseables se vienen reportando en la literatura en los últimos años debido a un creciente interés en la obtención y aplicación de compuestos y metabolitos bioactivos derivados de sus estructuras celulares dentro del contexto de medicina natural y ecológica. Synadenyum grantii Hook, comúnmente conocido como lechero africano, es utilizado como tratamiento de numerosas enfermedades comunes y degenerativas en el metabolismo humano a través de la extracción de su látex que ha sido estudiado por sus componentes bioactivos donde el phorbol es el que presenta actividad restaurativa y regeneradora celular. En este principal aspecto, su látex ha mostrado un potencial antineoplásico y fortalecedor del sistema inmune en el ser humano con factores de riesgo como pacientes oncológicos y/o inmunodepresivos por lo que ha...

La elevada contaminación causada por el uso y abuso de nuestro recurso hídrico en muchas de las actividades humanas nos impulsa a una real necesidad de sintetizar y utilizar nuevas tecnologías para su depuración y remoción de xenobióticos para poder reutilizarlas; en este estudio se propone el uso de la bioelectroremediación (BER) para ejecutar esta aplicación. En este trabajo doctoral se planteó la construcción de una celda a modo de electroreactor a nivel de miniescala para conseguir la desinfección y depuración integral efectiva de aguas residuales incipientemente depuradas por PTAR Chilpina (SEDAPAR S.A.) que, actualmente, contamina por su uso intensivo extensas superficies de cultivo generando un serio impacto ambiental y social en el área geográfica involucrada. Estos cuerpos de agua residual doméstica superficial identificados como efluentes permanentes e incipiente...
