Herbal drugs have been used since ancient times to treat a wide range of diseases. Morinda citrifolia Linn (popularly known as "Noni") has in folk medicine by Polynesians for over 2,000 years. It is reported broad therapeutic effects, including effects against headache, fever, arthritis, gingivitis, respiratory disorders, infections, tuberculosis, and diabetes. The aim this study was investigate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antibacterial properties aqueous extract...

Assessing the disseminated meningitis caused by Cryptoccocus neoformans in Wistar rats and its impact on antifungal distribution microdialysis (µD). The yeast presence was investigated different tissues histological microbiological assays, biochemical parameters such as urea, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), pyruvate (GPT), creatinine, creatine kinase (CK), albumin level, leukocyte counts, brain vascular permeability (Evans blue test) were evaluated healthy infected groups. Levels...

Tyrosine is an enzyme responsible for melanin production. Its abnormal accumulation in different parts of the body known as hyperpigmentation. Tyrosinase inhibitors have been used one main approaches to treat these kinds cosmetic and medical issues. This review aimed discuss advances patents this class inhibitors, focusing on synthetic ones, by studying recent patent applications (2012-2022). We performed a screening using European Patent Office's Espacenet database, from which 15 inventions...

ABSTRACT To make advances in the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis, it is crucial to know a given drug's free fraction that reaches biophase. In present study, we applied microdialysis (μD) as tool determine levels reached by voriconazole (VRC) brains healthy and Cryptococcus neoformans -infected rats. The infection was induced intravenous (i.v.) administration 1 × 10 5 CFU yeast. dose administered mg/kg (of body weight) VRC, i.v. Plasma microdialysate samples were analyzed liquid...

Pereskia aculeata has been widely investigated due to its anti-inflammatory potential. Among the metabolites found in this species are phytosterols beta-sitosterol (β-SIT) and stigmasterol (STIG). The objective of study was evaluate toxicity activities hexane partition P. (PHEX), as well β-SIT STIG. PHEX prepared were quantified. In terms against L929 fibroblast cells, showed up 200 μg/mL; STIG 25 μg/mL. inhibited 66 % nitric oxide radicals, while 33.73 34.94 %, respectively. an test...

In this study, the distribution and prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases belonging to TEM, SHV CTX-M families were estimated among samples Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp. at university hospital Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Over a 14-month period, 90 microorganisms selected as likely ESBL producers. The isolates subjected confirmatory phenotype tests for presence ESBL. Through investigating respective genes using polymerase chain reaction, types present in each microorganism...

Justificativa: Atualmente há um aumento das infecções fúngicas, especialmente em pacientes imunocomprometidos. Dentre os fungos causadores de invasivas destacam-se as leveduras do gênero Candida, considerada marcador progressão HIV. A terapêutica antifúngica e diagnóstico são importantes para o tratamento candidíase oral, devido à resistência atribuída a algumas espécies. Assim, destaca-se importância determinar incidência oral portadores vírus Objetivo: Pesquisar Candida spp HIV positivos,...
