Evaluation of Solanum linnaeanum and S. sisymbriifolium extracts for the manage...
Perpétuo, Laura Soraia; Cunha, Maria José M da; Batista, Maria Teresa; Conceição, Isabel LuciMeloidogyne chitwoodi causes significant yield losses in many crops and the chemical control measures currently used are less effective for this nematode. The activity of aqueous extracts (0.8 mg/mL) of one-month-old (R1M) and two-months-old roots and immature fruits (F) of Solanum linnaeanum (Sl) and S. sisymbriifolium cv. Sis 6001 (Ss) were tested on hatching, mortality, infectivity and reproduction of M. chi...
Cartografia Geológica aplicada: Estudo de Impacte Ambiental da Quinta do Carmo ...
Araújo, Alexandre; Moreira, Noel; Batista, Maria TeresaIn the framework of the environmental impact study conducted for the implementation of an eco-tourism project at Quinta do Carmo (Estremoz), a local detailed geological study was carried out. In this study, implemented by a multidisciplinary team, the “geology team” was responsible for the geological mapping, geomorphological characterization and identification of geological resources. Taking into account that ...
Exploring the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiallergic potential of Braz...
Conte, Fernanda Lopes; Pereira, Ana Catarina; Brites, Gonçalo; Ferreira, Isabel; Silva, Ana Cristina; Sebastião, Ana Isabel; Matos, PatríciaPropolis is a bee product used since ancient times due to its diverse biological applications. We aimed to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of Brazilian propolis in THP-1 cells stimulated with 1‐fluoro‐2,4‐dinitrobenzene (DNFB) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: Cell viability was assessed by resazurin assay, antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD)...
Chemical Composition and Effect against Skin Alterations of Bioactive Extracts ...
Moreira, Patrícia; Sousa, Fábio Jesus; Matos, Patrícia; Brites, Gonçalo Sousa; Gonçalves, Maria José; Cavaleiro, Carlos; Figueirinha, ArturEucalyptus globulus is planted extensively for pulp, paper and wood production. Although bioactive compounds obtained from its biomass are used as cosmetics ingredients, the skin effects were not yet fully explored. In order to fill this gap, this work aimed to study the protective effect against skin damage provided by the essential oil (EO) obtained from the hydrodistillation of Eucalyptus globulus leaves, an...

Formulation Effects in the Antioxidant Activity of Extract from the Leaves of C...
Sousa, Raquel; Figueirinha, Artur; Batista, Maria Teresa; Pina, Maria EugéniaCymbopogon citratus DC (Stapf.) is a perennial grass and it is distributed around the world. It is used as a condiment for food and beverage flavouring in the form of infusions and decoctions of its dried leaves. Our previous studies have shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective activities for the infusion and its phenolic fractions. The aim of the present work was to develop oral dosage forms ...
Solanum linnaeanum and Solanum sisymbriifolium as a sustainable strategy for th...
Perpétuo, Laura Soraia; Cunha, Maria J. M.; Batista, Maria Teresa; Conceição, Isabel LuciRoot-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are important crop pests that cause severe losses in crop production worldwide, reducing both productivity and crop quality. Meloidogyne chitwoodi Golden, O'Bannon, Santo & Finley, 1980 is considered a quarantine organism by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) causing damage in tomato and potato crops. The development of nonchemical an...
Phytochemical Characterization, Bioactivities Evaluation and Synergistic Effect...
Coimbra, Alexandra; Luís, Ângelo; Batista, Maria Teresa; Ferreira, Susana; Duarte, A. P.The increased resistance to drugs by pathogens is a serious problem, with plants showing to be promising sources for the development of new drugs or the improvement of the effect of existing antimicrobial agents. Considering this, we aimed to evaluate the bioactivities of Arbutus unedo and Crataegus monogyna. Thus, the leaves were first extracted with methanol and then fractionated with different solvents. Phen...
Fragaria vesca L. Extract: A Promising Cosmetic Ingredient with Antioxidant Pro...
Couto, Joana; Figueirinha, Artur; Batista, Maria Teresa; Paranhos, António; Nunes, Carla; Gonçalves, Lídia Maria; Marto, Joana; Fitas, ManuelFragaria vesca L. (F. vesca), popularly known as wild strawberry, is a plant from the Rosaceae family, found in temperate and subtropical areas of the northern hemisphere. F. vesca leaves have been shown to have antiseptic, emollient, and dermatological protection properties, due to the presence of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, ellagitannins, and proanthocyanidins. In this study, a F....
