Chia seed mucilage (Salvia hispanica L.): an emerging biopolymer for industrial...
Ramos, Igor Frederico da Silveira; Lima Fernandes, Valesca; Lucena, Monalisa de Alencar; Geronço, Maurycyo Silva; Costa, Marcília Pinheiro daBiopolymers are widely distributed in nature and have a wide variety of biological properties and applications. Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is an herbaceous plant that belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which when in contact with water exude the fraction of soluble fiber in the form of mucilage. In view of the above, this study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics and applications of chia mucilage th...
Biopolymeric materials used as nonviral vectors: a review
Santos, Jailson de Araújo; Liarte, Daniel Barbosa; Ribeiro, Alessandra Braga; Rizzo, Marcia dos Santos; Costa, Marcília Pinheiro da; Osajima, Josy A.Bacterial transformation and gene transfection can be understood as being the results of introducing specific genetic material into cells, resulting in gene expression, and adding a new genetic trait to the host cell. Many studies have been carried out to investigate different types of lipids and cationic polymers as promising nonviral vectors for DNA transfer. The present study aimed to carry out a systematic ...
Phytochemical screening and evaluation of cytotoxicity of stem bark extracts of...
Pinheiro, Reísa da Silva; Rabelo, Suzana Vieira; Oliveira, Ana Paula de; Guimarães, Amanda Leite; Moraes Filho, Manoel Odorico dePurpose: To investigate the phytochemistry and cytotoxic activity of stem bark extracts from Anaxagorea dolichocarpa and Duguetia chrysocarpa - two species of the Annonaceae family. Methods: The crude ethanol bark extracts (EtOH) of the plants were obtained by maceration. The crude extracts were suspended in a mixture of methanol (MeOH) and water (H2O) (proportion 3:7 v/v) and partitioned with hexane, chlorofor...
Biomedical properties and potentiality of Lippia microphylla Cham. and its esse...
Simões, Evelyne Rolim Braun; Santos, Evelyne Alves; Abreu, Maria Carolina de; Silva, Jurandy do Nascimento; Nunes, Nárcia Mariana FonsecaLippia microphylla Cham. (Verbanaceae) is an endemic underexploited Brazilian vegetal. This work reviewed the biological potentialities of Lippia microphylla, emphasizing the properties of essential oils (EOs) and analyzed scientific indicators about genus Lippia and L. microphylla. Databases from 1948 to the present were searched and a software (Vantage Point 7.1) associated with Derwent Innovation Index was u...
