Propolis from stingless bees Tetragonisca fiebrigi found in Brazil is used folk medicine by their nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, there are no scientific records evidencing such The present study was designed to investigate the chemical composition biological properties of propolis T. . For this, ethanol extract (EEP) determined GC-MS presented phenolic compounds, alcohol, terpenes as its major class compounds. antimicrobial activity accessed gram-positive gram-negative...
Fruits are sources of bioactive compounds that responsible for several biological activities. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the chemical composition pulp Brazilian Savanna fruit Dipteryx alata; evaluate its toxic effects, influence on life expectancy nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and antioxidant activities in vitro vivo; describe mechanisms involved. The identified include phenols, terpenes, fatty acid derivatives, vitamins, a carboxylic acid. activity was demonstrated by...
Campomanesia adamantium O. Berg, popularly known as guavira, has been used in Brazilian traditional medicine for reduction of serum lipid. The present study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic effects root aqueous extract (ExCA). Phenolic compounds were quantified ExCA gallic ellagic acids identified by HPLC. showed efficiency 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging, with IC50 similar butylhydroxytoluene control, protected erythrocytes against...
Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi is a medicinal plant widely used for the treatment of various diseases. The secondary metabolites responsible pharmacological properties can be produced directly by or endophytic fungi. objective this study was to evaluate diversity fungi different parts S. and identify chemical compounds endophytes their antioxidant antibacterial activities. For this, fruits, stem bark roots were dried, ground placed in fungal growth medium. selected grown subjected extraction...
High levels of reactive oxygen species in the body and hyperlipidemia are key factors for development cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. The present study investigated antioxidant hypolipidemic activity hydroethanolic extract Curatella americana L. leaves (ExC). ExC was assessed by 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH) scavenging capacity protection against hemolysis induced 2,2′‐azobis(2‐amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), followed quantification...
Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides and Scaptotrigona depilis are species of stingless bees capable producing propolis, which has considerable bioprospecting potential. In this context, the objective study was to determine chemical compositions evaluate antimicrobial activity propolis produced by M. q. S. depilis. The ethanolic extracts (EEP-M) (EEP-S) were prepared, their constituents characterized HPLC-ESI-MS. evaluated against bacteria fungi, isolated from reference strains hospital...
is a species found in the Cerrado and used folk medicine as vermifuge treatment of poisonous snakebites accidents. In this work, we identified main secondary metabolites present ethanolic extracts leaves (ELSR) roots (ERSR)
Allophylus edulis is a Brazilian plant commonly used in the mid-west region of Brazil for treatment disorders related to oxidative stress such as diabetes, inflammation, hypertension and digestive diseases. The aims present study were quantify flavonoids phenolic compounds, evaluate antioxidant activity, antimicrobial effect acute toxicity leaves A. edulis. Ethanolic (EEAE) aqueous (AEAE) extracts prepared. activity was determined by 2.2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free...
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that reduces life expectancy; therefore, the search for new alternative and effective treatments ongoing. The aim of present investigation was to identify chemical compounds in hydroethanolic extract leaves Jacaranda decurrens subsp. symmetrifoliolata evaluate their toxicity antiobesity effects. High‐performance liquid chromatography used constituents, acute evaluated rats treated with doses 2 5 g·kg −1 body mass. effect determined hypercaloric diet‐induced...
Cerumen is a bee product produced exclusively by stingless bees, resulting from mixture of beeswax and plant resins. The antioxidant activity products has been investigated since oxidative stress associated with the onset progression several diseases that can lead to death. In this context, study aimed investigate chemical composition cerumen Geotrigona sp. Tetragonisca fiebrigi in vitro vivo. characterization extracts was performed HPLC, GC, ICP OES analyses. potential evaluated DPPH•...
Campomanesia adamantium O. Berg. is a fruit tree species native to the Brazilian Cerrado biome whose fruits are consumed raw by population. The present study determined chemical composition of C. pulp (FPCA) and investigated its in vitro antioxidant potential biological effects Caenorhabditis elegans model. profile obtained LC-DAD-MS identified 27 compounds, including phenolic flavonoids, organic carboxylic acids, addition lipophilic pigments ascorbic acid. activity was analysed radical...
Zootherapy is a traditional secular practice among the Guarani-Kaiowá indigenous ethnic group living in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. My people use oil extracted from larvae of snout beetle Rhynchophorus palmarum (Linnaeus, 1758) to treat and heal skin wounds respiratory diseases. Based on this ethnopharmacological knowledge, chemical composition antioxidant, antimicrobial, healing properties R . (RPLO) were investigated, as well possible toxic effects, through vitro vivo assays. The RPLO was...
Senna rugosa is a species found in the Cerrado and used folk medicine as vermifuge treatment of poisonous snakebites accidents. In this work, we identified main secondary metabolites present ethanolic extracts leaves (ELSR) roots (ERSR) S. evaluated potential cytoprotective effect against cellular macromolecular damage, well cytotoxic properties on K562 Jurkat leukemic cell lines. The identification was done by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. antioxidant activities were...
Obesity is a pandemic disease characterized by lipid accumulation, increased proinflammatory cytokines, and reactive oxygen species. It associated with the development of comorbidities that lead to death. Additionally, drug treatments developed control obesity are insufficient have variety adverse effects. Thus, search for new anti-obesity therapies necessary. Campomanesia adamantium species from Brazilian Cerrado has potential treat obesity, as described antihyperlipidemic activity its...
Obesity is an epidemic disease worldwide, associated with oxidative stress and the development of several other diseases. Bauhinia rufa (Bong.) Steud. a native Brazilian Cerrado medicinal plant popularly used for treatment obesity. In this context, we investigated chemical composition methanolic extract B. leaves (MEBr) evaluated antioxidant activity its impact on prevention obesity in mice fed high-fat diet (HFD 60%). Additionally, acute oral toxicity MEBr was evaluated. MEBr, 17...
