The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical profile and antioxidant, antimicrobial antiparasitic activities hydroalcoholic extract leaves Ziziphus joazeiro Mart. (HELZJ). antioxidant DPPH FRAP assays were determined by colorimetric methods HPLC/DAD. antiparasitic, antibiotic antibiotic-modifying activity evaluated microdilution assays. HPLC-DAD assay showed presence mostly tannins flavonoids, such as caffeic acid quercetin. levels polyphenols flavonoids 183.136 mg/g 7.37 extract,...
Knowledge of medicinal plants is often the only therapeutic resource many communities and ethnic groups. "Erva-baleeira", Cordia verbenacea DC., one species currently exploited for purpose producing a phytotherapeutic product extracted from its leaves. In Brazil, major distribution in region Atlantic Forest similar vegetation. The crude extract utilized popular cultures form hydroalcoholic, decoctions infusions, mainly as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory analgesic agents. aim present study...
Plant extracts serve as a reservoir of bioactive phytochemicals applicable in various domains, with Gossypium hirsutum L. encompassing constituents such terpenes, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids, all exhibiting notable antioxidant properties, well metal-reducing capabilities, alongside potential toxicity. These compounds are distributed throughout the seeds, capsules, goblets, leaves, stems, flowers, roots plant. To assess these activities, this study investigated capacity by neutralizing...
The growing bacterial resistance represents a global challenge, making it necessary to search for new therapeutic approaches, such as the use of medicinal plant extracts, combat resistant microorganisms. Among these species, Erythroxylum rosuliferum O.E. Schulz has stood out due promising potential genus, known its diverse bioactivity. In this context, study aimed qualitatively analyze phytochemistry extract, well investigate antibacterial activity and synergistic effect ethanolic extract...
Trypanosoma cruzi is identified as the etiological agent of Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease that affects millions individuals in vulnerable regions. Available treatments have limitations due to inefficacy against resistant strains and severe side effects. In this context, medicinal plants been considered promising therapeutic alternatives, with essential oils (EOs) standing out for their antiparasitic properties potential development new drugs. Addressing issue, an integrative...
Bacterial resistance has become a growing global challenge, highlighting the importance of therapeutic alternatives, such as use medicinal plant extracts in inhibiting resistant bacteria. Brazil is one most biodiverse countries world, including plants with pharmacological potential and promising biological activities against pathogenic microorganisms. The species Crateva tapia L. exhibits significant traditional medicine due to its antioxidant antimicrobial properties. In this context, study...
RESUMO A resistência de fungos do gênero Candida aos fármacos químicos tem lançado o desafio se identificar novas substâncias que possuam atividade antibiótica ou venham a modular efeito produtos atualmente usados contra candidíase. O presente estudo avaliou antifúngica óleo essencial Lippia sidoides Cham. e timol, sobre cepas Candida. Inicialmente os foram testados frente 16 fúngicas pela técnica difusão em meio sólido, permitiu selecionar linhagens para continuidade da pesquisa. Com as...
The increasing antifungal resistance rates against conventional drugs reveal the urgent need to search for new therapeutic alternatives. In this context, natural bioactive compounds have a critical role in drug development. Since evidence demonstrates that abietic acid, diterpene found Pinus species, has significant antimicrobial properties, study aimed evaluate activity of acid Candida spp and its ability potentiate fluconazole. Abietic was tested both individually combination with...
The present task resulted from a study realized by the students of discipline – project. role experience in constitution professionalizing teachers, coordinated Prof. Dr. Bernadete Gatti. Searching to develop research project about subject related professional identities we felt necessity deepening investigations questions identity and teachers’ professionalism, studying individual not subjective point view, but understanding as interaction among their partners social personal trajectories....
Mercury is a very dangerous metal when humans come into contact with it, whether through the air or skin by ingestion. The aim of this work was to investigate possible effects ethanol extract and fractions Lygodium venustum Sw. against mercurium chloride toxicity towards Escherichia coli strain ATCC25922. polyphenols flavonoids present in were quantified mg equivalent gallic acid/g sample quercetin/g sample, respectively. vitro FRAP method demonstrated antioxidant activity samples....
Objective: The objective of this work was to obtain the chemical profile and verify biological activities ethanolic extract from leaves Asparagus setaceus. Method: obtained with cold ethanol classes secondary metabolites were identified specific reagents. antibacterial assays performed using microdilution method against standard bacteria, Gram +: Sthaphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans Enterococcus faecalis -: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoneae two...
