Isolated substances and those organically synthesized have stood out over the years for their therapeutic properties, including their antibacterial activity. In this context, the aim of this research was to investigate the pharmacological properties of 2-(2 hydroxyethylamine)-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-dihydro-1,4-naphthalenedione, 2-(2- hydroxy-ethylamine)-3-(2-methyl-propenyl)-[1,4] naphthoquinone and 2-(3-hy...
The infections caused by bacteria and fungi, as well as the subsequent resistance of these microorganisms continue with high incidencesthus studies of medicinal plants and their combination with conventional therapy, are becoming essential. This study examined the antibacterial, antifungal and modifier of resistance to antibiotics and antifungal extracts of ethanol, hexane and methanol from the leaves of Kalanc...
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...
