The flora presents a number of species with major pharmaceutical potential, however, only a small part of this arsenal is known. The identification of chemical substances of natural origin is a reality, however, the pharmacological potential of this still falls short of what could be done. The use of computational methods can optimize the search for active ingredients more effectively, optimizing time and money...
Objective: The objective was to evaluate depressive symptoms, sleep alterations and the role of gender and obesity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Methods: Patients (N=140; 92 males and 48 female; age 54.6±8.2 years), submitted to polysomnography for suspected OSA, were assessed by the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (...
Background: The search for new active compounds from the Brazilian flora has intensified in recent years, especially for new drugs with antibiotic potential. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to determine whether riachin has antibiotic activity in itself or is able to modulate the activity of conventional antibiotics. Methods: A non-cyanogenic cyanoglycoside known as riachin was isolated from Bauhinia pent...
