In the central nervous system (CNS), neuroinflammation, especially that modulated by cell response of astrocytes and microglia, is associated with damage to neurons in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and, Multiple Sclerosis. Lupeol a dietary triterpene has demonstrated biological activities antioxidant. This study investigated anti-inflammatory neuroprotective effects lupeol an vitro model neuroinflammation primary cerebellar cultures. Cultures...
This study evaluated the antioxidant potential of Camellia sinensis by quantifying its bioactive compounds, which contribute to treatment melasma. Consequently, developing a sunscreen formulation enriched with extract was proposed. The findings were derived from physicochemical and microbiological analyses supported bibliographic references. By determining phenolic compound content in four different concentrations extract, highest percentages gallic acid identified two concentrations. These...
This work aims to produce activated carbon from the bark of licuri (Syagrus coronata) and evaluate its effectiveness in water filtration. The was separated pulp, biochar produced through pyrolysis chemical activation. filtration performance assessed by measuring optical density using a spectrophotometer analyzing samples that passed system containing licuri-based carbon. results confirmed efficiency derived bark. Regarding adsorption capacity, pyrolyzed charcoal alone demonstrated superior...
Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm., Fabaceae, has been widely studied for its medicinal activities. Many neurodegenerative disorders are caused by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity induced glutamate and ultimately cell death. This study describes the chemical profile of ethanolic, hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate extracts obtained from seeds A. cearensis. The objective this was to investigate cearensis, as well their cytotoxicity neuroprotective effects in...
Amburana cearensis (Allemao) A.C.Sm. is a medicinal plant of the Brazilian Caatinga reported to present antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. This study aimed evaluate neuroprotective effect extracts obtained from seeds A. in primary cultures cerebellar cells subjected excitotoxicity induced by glutamate brain mitochondria submitted oxidative stress.and methods: Primary were treated with ethanol (ETAC), hexane (EHAC), dichloromethane (EDAC) ethyl acetate (EAAC) A.cearensis (10µM)....
This study aimed to assess the impact of a formulation containing plant extracts from castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), garlic (Allium sativum), and aloe vera (Aloe vera) at varying concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 5%, 10%) on growth germination rate coriander seedlings (Coriandrum sativum). The were cultivated in prototype greenhouse under room temperature conditions shield them external weather factors. Notably, 5% concentration exhibited significant variation, while 10% showed...
