This study presents the chemical profile of extracts from pulp and seed Annona squamosa L., as well evaluation their antioxidant acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities. In prospection, qualitative assays were performed, contents total phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, carotenoids quantified. For compounds identification, analyses performed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Antioxidant was using DPPH, ABTS, Fe3+ reduction, 2-DR protection, β-carotene protection methods....
Species belonging to the genus Lippia are used worldwide as foods, beverages, and seasonings. Studies have demonstrated that these species antioxidant, sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic activities. This work aimed evaluate antibacterial activity anxiolytic effect by different pathways of essential oils ethanolic extracts three (Lippia alba, sidoides, gracilis). The were characterized HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn their phenolics quantified. was evaluated determining minimal inhibitory...
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is a spice widely used for its medical properties, though the species lacks scientific evidence regarding toxicity and biologic effects. The aim of this study was chemical identification by GC-MS analysis evaluation hemolytic, anticoagulant, antidiarrheal antipyretic activities essential oil from S. aromaticum (EOSa) in adult male mice. Essential obtained hydrodistillation provided 9.8% v/w yield. analyses allowed nine constituents, with eugenol (84.63%) as...
Lippia sidoides Cham. (Verbenaceae) is a species often mentioned in traditional medicine due to the medicinal properties attributed its leaves, which include antibacterial, antifungal, acaricidal and antioxidant. Several of these actions have been scientifically proven, according reports literature; however, little known about toxicological aspects this plant. This work included studies determine chemical composition toxicity tests, using several methods aiming evaluate safety for use...
Marine organisms represent a potential source of secondary metabolites with various therapeutic properties. However, the pharmaceutical industry still needs to explore algological resource. The species Caulerpa lamouroux Forssk presents confirmed biological activities associated its major compound caulerpin, such as antinociceptive, spasmolytic, antiviral, antimicrobial, insecticidal, and cytotoxic. Considering that caulerpin is limited, low solubility or chemical instability, it was...
Croton grewioides Baill., a species native to the Caatinga, popularly known as canela de cunhã, is used in traditional medicine treat gastrointestinal diseases such diarrhea, gastritis and stomach ulcers. This study aimed identify chemical composition of essential oil C. (OECG) evaluate its antibacterial antibiotic-modulating activities against both standard multidrug-resistant bacteria. To analyze compounds, present oil, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) flame...
Background: Croton grewioides Baill., a species native to the Caatinga, popularly known as canela de cunhã, is used in traditional medicine treat gastrointestinal diseases such diarrhea, gastritis and stomach ulcers. The combination of essential oils with antibiotics reveals several beneficial effects associated increased efficacy these drugs against pathogenic agents. Through this perspective, study aimed identify chemical composition oil C. (OECG) evaluate its antibacterial...
Background: The Annona coriacea Mart. species, popularly known as "araticum", "marolo" and "araticum-liso", is distributed throughout the Cerrado in North Northeast of Brazil, especially Ceará. aim this study to investigate chemical composition evaluate antioxidant properties flowers coriacea. Keywords: Phytotherapy, extract, prospecting, quantification, flavonoids, phenols.
Medicinal plants have been used for many years by communities to treat illnesses. The need scientific proof of these vegetable's curative effects is as necessary the inexistence toxicity related use extracts with therapeutic potential. Annona squamosa L. (Annonaceae), popularly known "pinha", "ata" or "fruta do conde", has in traditional medicine its analgesic and antitumor activities. toxic attributed this plant also explored a pesticide an insecticide. aim present study was investigate...
Abstract Cissampelos sympodialis Eichler is well studied and investigated for its antiasthmatic properties, but there are no data in the literature describing antibacterial properties of alkaloids isolated from this botanical species. This work reports isolation characterization phanostenine obtained roots C. describes first time antimicrobial antibiotic modulatory properties. Phanostenine was activities were determined. Chemical structures alkaloid isolate determined using spectroscopic...
Background: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) acts on cholinergic hydrolysis, whose changes in its functions are related to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Another important component these pathologies is oxidative stress, responsible for extensive cellular damage, caused by free radicals. Alkaloids represent an active source search compounds that act treatment diseases, having established antioxidant and AChE inhibitory properties. The present study aimed evaluate vitro activities...
