Evaluation of Biotechnological Active Peptides Secreted by Saccharomyces cerevi...
Mauricio, Elisabete; Branco, Patricia; Araújo, Ana Luiza Barros; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Lima, Katelene; Duarte, Maria Paula; Fernandes, AlexandraABSTRACT:Biotechnological active peptides are gaining interest in the cosmetics industry due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-collagenase (ACE) effects, as well as wound healing properties, making them suitable for cosmetic formulations. The antimicrobial activity of peptides (2–10 kDa) secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol-Red was evaluated against dermal pathogens using ...
Identification of Marker Compounds and In Vitro Toxicity Evaluation of Two Port...
Malmir, Maryam; Lima, Katelene; Póvoas Camões, Sérgio; Manageiro, Vera; Duarte, Maria Paula; Paiva Miranda, Joana; Serrano, RitaThe leaves of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. bento-rainhae, an endemic Portuguese species, and Asphodelus macrocarpus subsp. macrocarpus have been used as food, and traditionally as medicine, for treating ulcers, urinary tract, and inflammatory disorders. The present study aims to establish the phytochemical profile of the main secondary metabolites, together with the antimicrobial, antioxidant and toxicity as...
Bioguided Identification of Active Antimicrobial Compounds from Asphodelus bent...
Malmir, Maryam; Lima, Katelene; Camões, Sérgio Póvoas; Manageiro, Vera; Duarte, Maria Paula; Miranda, Joana Paiva; Serrano, RitaRoot tubers of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. bento-rainhae (AbR), a vulnerable endemic species, and Asphodelus macrocarpus subsp. macrocarpus (AmR) have traditionally been used in Portugal to treat inflammatory and infectious skin disorders. The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of crude 70% and 96% hydroethanolic extracts of both medicinal plants, specifically against multidr...
Exploring the Multifaceted Potential of a Peptide Fraction Derived from Sacchar...
Branco, Patricia; Mauricio, Elisabete; Costa, Ana; Ventura, Diogo; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Duarte, Maria Paula; Fernandes, AlexandraABSTRACT: The rising demand for minimally processed, natural, and healthier food products has led to the search for alternative and multifunctional bioactive food components. Therefore, the present study focuses on the functional proprieties of a peptide fraction derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism. The antimicrobial activity of the peptide fraction is evaluated against various foodborne pathogens,...

Diversity and biological activities of medicinal plants of Santiago island (Cab...
Romeiras, Maria M.; Essoh, Anyse P.; Catarino, Sílvia; Silva, Joceline; Lima, Katelene; Varela, Eromise; Moura, Mónica; Gomes, IsildoPlants continue to constitute key elements of medical practice in West African countries. The Cabo Verde archipelago hosts a great diversity of medicinal plants and local markets are considered important sites for trading plants harvested by rural communities. This study has two main goals: (i) to assess the medicinal uses of native species in Santiago, the biggest island of the archipelago, and (ii) to evaluat...

Evaluation of the Polyphenolic Composition and Bioactivities of Three Native Ca...
Essoh, Anyse P.; Liberal, Ângela; Fernandes, Ângela; Dias, Maria Inês; Pereira, Carla; Mandim, Filipa; Moldão-Martins, Margarida; Cravo, Pedro V.L.The use of medicinal plants in a variety of health conditions remains essential for the discovery of new treatments. The present study aimed to investigate the bioactive properties of three native plants from Cabo Verde Islands, namely Artemisia gorgonum Webb, Sideroxylon marginatum (Decne. ex Webb) Cout., and Tamarix senegalensis DC., contributing to the characterization of less- known medicinal plants and the...
Monographic Quality Parameters and Genotoxicity Assessment of Asphodelus bento-...
Malmir, Maryam; Serrano, Rita; Lima, Katelene; Duarte, Maria Paula; Moreira da Silva, Isabel; Silva Lima, Beatriz; Caniça, Manuela; Silva, OlgaRoot tubers of Asphodelus bento-rainhae subsp. bento-rainhae (AbR), an endemic species with relevant interest due to conservation concerns, and Asphodelus macrocarpus subsp. macrocarpus (AmR) have been traditionally used for culinary and medicinal purposes, mainly associated with skin infection and inflammation. The present study aims to establish the quality control criteria for the proper characterization of ...
