This work is divided in two parts. The first part, shown the phytochemical study of the species Justicia gendarussa Burm. F. The ethanolic extract from the leaves of J. gendarussa was subjected to chromatographic fractionations, leading to the isolation of seven constituents: the triterpenes, squalene (JGFC1) and lupeol (JGF-C4), the mixture of sterols, sitosterol and stigmasterol (JGF-C2), a fatty acid ester (...
This paper describes the reinvestigation phytochemical of the fixed constituents present in the roots and stems of the species Capraria biflora, of the family Scrophulariaceae, as well as research on the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from the leaves and evaluates the larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti larvae. The study of the essential oil resulted in the identification of seven constit...
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the antimetastatic potential of bi fl orin using in vivo and in vitro approaches. Main methods: Bi fl orin was isolated from Capraria bi fl ora collected in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Adhesion, migra- tion and invasion assays were performed to avail of the antimetastatic potential of this quinone. Experimen- tal metastasis was performed to avail of the antimetastatic p...
