Santana, Dandara Braga; Costa, Raphaella Correia da; Araújo, Renata Mendonça; Paula, José Elias de; Silveira, Edilberto Rocha; Braz-Filho, RaimundoLeishmaniasis and fungal infection treatment efficacy is limited by toxicity and ever increasing resistance to available drugs, requiring development of alternative compounds. The richness of Cerrado plant antimicrobial secondary metabolites justifies screening of Fabaceae species extracts: Enterolobium ellipticum Benth., Sclerolobium aureum (Tul.) Baill. and Vatairea macrocarpa(Benth.) Ducke, against Leishmani...
Antinociceptive effect of the essential oil obtained from the leaves of Croton ...
Nogueira, Lenise de Morais; Silva, Monalisa Ribeiro da; Santos, Simone Maria dos; Albuquerque, Julianna Ferreira Cavalcanti de; Ferraz, Igor CavalcantiCroton cordiifolius Baill. is a shrub known as “quebra-faca” and is used to treat inflammation, pain, wounds, and gastrointestinal disturbances in the semiarid region in the northeast of Brazil. In an ethnobotanical survey in the state of Pernambuco, “quebra-faca” use was cited in 33% of the interviews. Thus, we decided to evaluate the antinociceptive effects of the essential oil from C. cordiifolius (CcEO). Ch...
